Explosions were reported in Pavlohrad, Mykolaiv, and Dnipro, damaging homes, high-rise buildings, garages, and cars. Fires also broke out in Pavlohrad and Nikopol, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
In Kyiv Oblast, strikes hit Bucha, Boryspil, and Obukhiv, while Mykolaiv reported residential damage but no casualties. Ukraine’s Air Force said dozens of cruise and ballistic missiles, as well as drones, were launched across the country.
