Russian forces struck Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs, injuring six people, according to regional authorities. The attack caused fires and damage across multiple civilian sites, including cars, residential buildings, a service station, a car wash, a store, and an industrial facility. The strike is another example of continued attacks on urban infrastructure and populated areas.

The moment a drone struck a bus standing at a stop in Dnipro was captured on video. Reports indicate the UAV was guided, meaning the operator could see and control the strike location. The impact caused a massive fire, with the bus and multiple nearby vehicles burning out completely. Surrounding areas were heavily damaged by the blaze. At least one person was killed and four others were reported injured. Emergency services continue working at the scene.

This video documents another wave of Russia’s attack on Dnipro, where emergency crews were already working at the site of an earlier strike. According to Ukrainian officials cited by Reuters and AP, the city was hit in multiple waves over more than 20 hours, leaving at least 8 people dead and around 49 injured in Dnipro alone. Children were among the wounded, and apartment buildings, businesses, and other civilian sites were damaged. The attack formed part of a broader overnight assault on Ukraine that also hit other regions, including Chernihiv and Odesa. In the final part of the video, the moment of impact on a gas station on the outskirts of Dnipro can be seen.

A Shahed drone struck a depot in Dnipro, with the moment of impact captured on video. Before hitting the target, the drone clipped and tore down overhead contact lines.

Russia launched a mass overnight drone-and-missile attack across Ukraine, with Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Kharkiv among the hardest-hit cities. Ukrainian officials said Kyiv was struck in four districts, with at least a dozen people killed nationwide, including a 12-year-old child in the capital, while dozens more were wounded. Residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, and non-residential sites were damaged as emergency crews fought fires across multiple locations. In Kyiv, debris hit a multi-story residential building, and another strike caused a fire on the first floor of a separate apartment building. Odesa reported seven dead and 11 injured in multiple waves of attack, while Dnipro and Kharkiv also suffered casualties and damage to homes, vehicles, and infrastructure. Explosions and strike reports also came from other regions as Russia carried out one of its largest recent aerial assaults on civilian areas.

This footage captures the moment six guided aerial bombs were dropped in the area of the Pechenihy Reservoir dam in Kharkiv region, raising fears of a possible environmental disaster at a time when the water level had already reached its maximum. At the same time, Ukrainian officials state that the dam itself was not damaged. The strike is being described as another act of terror targeting critical infrastructure and civilians.
