Most were intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses. Still, the Ukrainian military reported that five missiles and 31 drones struck 15 different sites, while debris from drones and missiles fell in 25 other locations.
The worst damage was in Kyiv, where four people were killed, including a 12-year-old girl, as well as a nurse and a patient at the Institute of Cardiology.
