- Odesa Regional Military Administration head Oleh Kiper confirmed the overnight strike damaged residential buildings and energy infrastructure, injuring one person, while air defenses intercepted 199 targets.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated the strike "deliberately damaged a border crossing point," while the State Border Guard Service confirmed traffic is being redirected to other crossings.
