As of 10:00 a.m., Ukrainian emergency officials reported 2 people killed and 40 injured in Kyiv following a massive overnight Russian attack. Rescue teams have already saved 28 people from the affected areas.
According to the State Emergency Service, the strike hit five districts of the capital. Emergency workers, dog handlers, and psychologists remain at the scene, while rescuers have already removed more than 20 cubic meters of debris and evacuated five damaged vehicles.
This footage shows a Ukrainian ground kamikaze drone carrying a 300 kg explosive charge striking a building occupied by a group of eight Russian soldiers.
The drone crashes into the structure and detonates inside, demonstrating the growing use of unmanned ground systems in frontline assault operations and urban combat.
A Ukrainian soldier’s camera captured the moment an enemy FPV drone suddenly struck a ground robotic vehicle delivering supplies to frontline positions.
Because the robotic courier had stopped in an open area, nearby troops hesitated to approach it immediately — a decision that likely saved their lives when the drone attack occurred.
Ukrainian Special Operations Forces carried out a series of drone strikes targeting enemy warehouses, logistics hubs, command facilities, and repair bases in occupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as in Russia’s Belgorod region. In Sartana near Mariupol, SOF middle-strike units hit ammunition depots used by Russian forces. In Boikivske, drones targeted a logistics and supply center. Additional strikes hit a repair base in occupied Mykolaivka, a command-observation point in Sviatotroitske, temporary accommodation for enemy mechanics in Rovenky, and a training ground in Kulikivske. A separate operation reportedly struck a Russian drone unit location in Nova Tavolzhanka, Belgorod region. Ukrainian forces say such strikes are aimed at weakening enemy logistics and operational capabilities.
Hezbollah militants are reportedly increasing the use of fiber-optic FPV drones in attacks against the Israel Defense Forces in Lebanon and northern Israel. Among the reported targets were Iron Dome launchers, Merkava tanks, and Namer infantry fighting vehicles. The growing use of fiber-optic drones highlights evolving battlefield tactics designed to resist electronic warfare interference.
Laser’s Group carried out a strike on a concentration of Russian military equipment deep in the rear areas of the Luhansk region. Among the destroyed targets were a fully loaded 9T452 transport-loader vehicle and a command-and-staff vehicle belonging to the 9K57 Uragan multiple launch rocket system. According to reports, the Ukrainian bomber drone that destroyed the transport-loader vehicle was itself lost in the resulting ammunition detonation.
The 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Azov” is conducting reconnaissance-strike operations over the Mariupol area using unmanned systems. Operators are reportedly patrolling routes up to 160 km from the frontline, monitoring enemy movements and logistics. According to the unit, Russian forces continue to use roads in and around Mariupol for troop and equipment movement. Azov units are targeting these logistics routes as part of efforts to disrupt enemy supply chains and expand the operational “sanitary zone” deeper into occupied territory.
Border guards of the “Forpost” Brigade carried out strikes using FPV drones and heavy bomber drones against enemy transport and shelters in the Southern Slobozhanskyi direction. The operation disrupted Russian logistics and reduced the enemy’s ability to operate in the area.
Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces carried out a series of overnight strikes against Russian military infrastructure and logistics targets. Reportedly hit were two Buk-M3 air defense systems, a Strela-10 system in the Zaporizhzhia region, railway fuel tankers, a fuel depot in the Luhansk region, UAV control points in Zaporizhzhia, as well as an ammunition depot, concentrations of personnel and equipment, and an underground fuel storage facility in the Luhansk region.
In less than a week, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces “Raid” Regiment struck three Russian air defense systems. A 2S6 “Tunguska” was hit using a Bulava strike drone, while two Pantsir-S1 systems were targeted with RAM-2 drones.
