Ukrainian drones struck Russian border cities Belgorod and Rostov-on-Don overnight, injuring 12 in Belgorod and damaging homes and vehicles with unclear targets, as Kyiv emphasizes ongoing deep strikes into Russia. The broader Ukrainian campaign appears aimed at degrading Moscow’s war-sustainment infrastructure, with recent hits across occupied territories and Russian facilities, including a logistics and oil infrastructure campaign announced by Zelensky. In Ukraine, Russian ballistic missiles and drones targeted Kyiv and other regions, causing civilian casualties and fires in multiple districts. Ukrainian authorities reported casualties in Kharkiv, Horlivka, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy, reflecting a renewed intensity of hostilities. Ukraine also reports Russian strikes on drone-manufacturing sites in Kyiv and fuel dumps in the Odessa region, tying the conflict to disrupted drone production and fuel supplies for Ukrainian forces. Observers note rising market activity and potential assessments of Russian advances toward strategic towns like Sloviansk, underscoring a broader escalation and regional military movements.
