Russia launched 32 strikes against Kherson Oblast, injuring three people, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said. A hospital and port infrastructure in Kherson were reportedly damaged.

An Ukrenergo substation was damaged in the oblast, leaving more than 53,000 consumers without electricity. This included seven mines, where more than 1,000 workers were present, the Energy Ministry said.
