Over the past 24 hours, Ukraine faced a massive drone and missile attack, with 81 UAVs (74 jet-powered) launched, and 62 (56 jet-powered) intercepted. Critical energy infrastructure was targeted across multiple regions, leading to widespread power outages and disruptions in public transport and water supply in major cities like Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Kharkiv. Russia also reported significant drone activity over its territory, with over 106,000 Ukrainian UAVs intercepted since the beginning of 2026. In other developments, Poland deployed special forces to its border with Kaliningrad Oblast due to suspicious activity, and the US is preparing for potential strikes against Iran.
