In the Darnytskyi district, an attack set fire to the roof of another gas station, and a drone struck a transportation facility. Preliminary reports indicate that one person was injured.

A Russian strike in Zaporizhzhia set fire to one of the city’s shopping malls. Photos of the blaze appear to show the Amstor mall. Two people were injured.

Russian forces struck Izium, in the Kharkiv region, with aerial bombs. Apartment buildings were damaged, and a fire broke out at the site of the strike. Eight people, including a child, were injured. That evening, Russian drones repeatedly struck vehicles in Kharkiv’s Kyivskyi district. One person was killed.
