Russian missiles struck Ukraine's Dnipro region overnight, killing four people. President Zelensky responded by urging Europe to accelerate deliveries of Patriot interceptor missiles. Russia's defence ministry claimed it had targeted a cargo vessel carrying Ukrainian military supplies bound for the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk, as well as logistics facilities in Kharkiv used for storage and distribution of dual-use cargo for the Ukrainian military. Images from Kharkiv showed firefighters at a shopping centre that was also struck.

In response, Ukrainian forces conducted an overnight drone attack on the Russian city of Belgorod near the border. Local authorities said the attack killed two people and injured thirteen. Regional governor Alexander Shuvayev reported that the strike damaged thirty apartment blocks, thirty-five cars, four houses, three administrative buildings, eight commercial premises and three social facilities. Another person was killed and one injured in a nearby village near Shebekino.
