In a large-scale aerial assault, Russia launched over 700 drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight, resulting in at least 18 deaths across the country. The attacks, which local officials described as the deadliest in months, impacted cities including Odesa, Dnipro, and Kyiv. In Kyiv, four people, including a child, were killed and 45 injured. Simultaneously, Russia reported that a Ukrainian drone attack in the Krasnodar region killed two people, including a child.
