Russia fired 32 Iranian-made Shahed drones and six missiles at Ukraine, out of which 28 drones and three missiles were shot down, according to Kyiv's air commander. Meanwhile, Russian forces are carrying out offensive operations day and night and advancing in Ukraine.
Russia fired two Iskander-M missiles from the occupied Crimea peninsula that damaged civilian infrastructure and gas and electricity supply lines. Odesa has been targeted almost daily this month, as Russia aims to disrupt the export of goods.

A Barbados-flagged British-owned vessel in the Red Sea sustained minor damage during the attack in the Red Sea, but no one was injured. This came after joint airstrikes by the US and the UK, along with other countries, in Yemen as tensions reach boiling point over the war in Gaza.
The missile attack on the British oil tanker Marlin Luanda sparked a fire aboard, according to trading firm Trafigura. The incident, and a Houthi missile targeting a US warship in the Gulf of Aden, represent the biggest escalation of the conflict of the ongoing conflict, officials say.

The strikes were carried out by F/A-18 aircraft off the USS Dwight D Eisenhower carrier, said an official. Attacks by the Iran-allied Houthi militia on ships in the Red Sea since November have impacted trade between Asia and Europe and raised international alarm amid the escalating Israel-Hamas war.
In order to de-escalate tensions, Pakistan's caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar presided over the meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) while services chiefs, cabinet ministers, and other officials were in attendance, sources said.
US officials said the "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" (SDGT) designation for Houthis was aimed at cutting off funding and weapons the Houthis have used to attack or hijack ships in vital Red Sea shipping lanes. The Houthi attacks on Red Sea ships have disrupted global shipping and commerce.
Iran launched massive attacks Tuesday targeting what it described as bases inside Pakistan for Jaish al-Adl, a Sunni militant group. Pakistan did not mention the location of Iran's missile assault but it is suspected that they took place in Balochistan.
Iran had accused Israel of killing a high-ranking Iranian general Sayyed Razi Mousaviin an airstrike in Damascus last month after two members of the Revolutionary Guards. Tehran argues that Iraq's Kurdistan region is a staging ground for Iranian separatist groups and its arch-foe Israel.
The US Central Command said 18 drones, two anti-ship cruise missiles and one anti-ship ballistic missile were shot down by the US and UK forces. The Houthis have vowed to continue attacks until Israel halts the conflict in Gaza, and threatened to attack US warships if the militia group was targeted.
At least 24 people were killed and over 110 injured in a retaliatory attack by Ukraine in Russia's Belgorod on Saturday. Putin called it "a terrorist act" that would not go unpunished and promised more strikes on Ukrainian targets.
Russia launched a massive barrage of 122 missiles and 36 drones against Ukrainian targets on Friday, killing 31 people and injuring 120 others. This was the largest aerial assault since the war erupted last year, as the previous biggest assault was in November 2022 when Moscow launched 96 missiles.
Air Force commander Mykola Oleshchuk described the barrage as the "most massive aerial attack" on his official Telegram since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February last year. At least 88 people were injured and an unknown number were buried under rubble during the 18-hour Russian attack.
The Houthis attacked Israel with ballistic missiles and drones as per "demands of Yemeni people" for the latter's actions in Gaza. This was the third Houthi attack against Israel since the October 7 and threatens to expand the current conflict in the Middle East.
The Iron Dome is a ground-to-air defence system that comprises radar and interceptor missiles that are capable of tracking and neutralising any rockets or missiles fired towards targets in Israel. It is particularly useful in defending against rockets, artillery and mortars, and aircraft.
The missile strikes were among multiple Russian attacks across Ukraine overnight. The strikes come days after 16 people were killed in an attack on a market in eastern Ukraine and drone debris was found in Romania.
The deceased in Kyiv were two security guards aged 26 and 36 years, while three people sustained injuries from falling debris, according to the city's Military Administration.
