  • Emergency services reported that separate overnight attacks caused fires in non-residential buildings in two city districts. One person was also injured in the capital, according to officials.
  • Separately, Odesa region governor Oleh Kiper said one person was killed and another injured in a series of "massive" Russian strikes on a residential area and logistics premises.
