The number includes 1,420 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

ASTRA also reported damage to a residential building in Rostov-on-Don's Donskaya Sloboda complex, identifying its location through footage posted by residents. It remained unclear what struck the building amid reports of continued drone activity and Russian air defense operations.
