Air defenses shot down 82 drones, while 26 struck 10 locations. Debris from intercepted drones fell in eight additional areas, according to the statement.

In Donetsk Oblast, 10 civilians were injured during Russian attacks, Governor Vadym Filashkin said.
Five people were injured in Kharkiv Oblast, including residents of Kharkiv and seven surrounding settlements, according to Governor Oleh Syniehubov.
One person was killed and another injured in Kherson Oblast, where Russian attacks damaged three apartment buildings and 15 houses, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said. Targets included both social infrastructure and residential areas.
In Sumy Oblast, three people were injured as Russian forces carried out nearly 110 attacks on 47 settlements, local authorities reported.
