The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia launched 68 missiles, including 23 ballistic missiles, and 351 drones of various types overnight. Of these, 37 missiles and 326 drones were shot down or neutralized.

The main target was Kyiv. Preliminary data indicate that 29 ballistic missiles and 18 drones struck 34 locations, with debris falling in 16 other areas.
