At least five people were killed and more than 20 others injured in overnight strikes as Russia and Ukraine traded blame over the latest exchange of attacks.
Russia said it downed 645 Ukrainian drones over the course of the night, across 13 regions of the country as well as over the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and Crimea, underscoring the scale of the aerial activity involved in the latest round of strikes.
Both Moscow and Kyiv have regularly accused each other of targeting civilian areas and infrastructure during overnight drone and missile exchanges, which have become a near-nightly feature of the war as it continues into its fourth year. Casualty figures and details of specific strikes are frequently disputed or only partially confirmed in the immediate aftermath.
The reported downing of hundreds of drones in a single night highlights the intensity of long-range strike activity on both sides, with Ukraine relying heavily on drone attacks against targets inside Russia and Russian-controlled territory, while Russia continues to strike Ukrainian cities and infrastructure with drones and missiles.
No further details on the specific locations of the fatalities or the extent of damage caused by the strikes have been confirmed, as both sides continue to release competing accounts of the overnight exchange.
