Drone and missile strikes attributed to Russia left at least eight people dead across Ukraine, with residential areas, industrial sites, and infrastructure among the targets, according to Ukrainian officials.

Fatalities from overnight missile strikes were recorded in Kyiv, where two people died, in the northern city of Pryluki, where four were killed, and across the central Poltava region, which reported two more deaths, according to authorities. Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine's parliamentary human rights commissioner, noted on Telegram that the country had endured another night of missile attacks, adding that residents were left to carry on with their working day in the aftermath.

According to the Ukrainian air force, a barrage of 130 drones, 48 cruise missiles, and an unspecified number of ballistic missiles was directed at Ukrainian territory. According to a Telegram post, 161 aerial targets were neutralised by defence units.

Strike reports from Russia hit Kyiv, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv, according to Ukraine's air force. The defence ministry announced that its troops had struck what it described as military-industrial infrastructure across Kyiv and several other regions of Ukraine, deploying a combination of precision-guided weapons launched from land, sea, and air platforms, along with drone systems.

According to the statement, facilities where Ukrainian defence company Fire Point produces and holds its Flamingo cruise missiles along with medium- and long-range drone systems — located both within Kyiv itself and across the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, and Kharkiv regions — were among the designated targets.

Zelensky announced that a ballistic missile built domestically by Fire Point had been deployed in combat for the first time. Speaking in a televised interview, Zelensky indicated that a longer-range version of the FP-9 missile — a weapon the manufacturer has described as able to reach Moscow — could be delivered by the manufacturer before autumn arrives.

A ballistic projectile hit a multi-storey apartment block in Pryluki, a town within the Chernihiv region to the north, according to local authorities. Four people died at the scene and roughly 20 others sustained injuries, with local authorities noting that additional residents may remain trapped beneath collapsed debris. Footage captured rescue teams working to free trapped individuals from the collapsed debris.

Residents of Kyiv moved into the city's underground metro network for shelter after Ukrainian officials and military intelligence circulated alerts about anticipated strikes. Lesia, a Kyiv resident aged 49, told a broadcaster that her household had used the underground metro as a refuge through the night, having found their ninth-floor flat in a tower block too exposed to aerial projectiles to remain in comfortably.

Ballistic missiles were among the munitions that struck Kyiv, alongside the drone attack, according to statements from Ukrainian authorities.

Over a period of several months, Ukrainian forces operated with an inadequate supply of air defence systems, leading Zelensky and other officials to make repeated appeals to allies for additional equipment and assistance.

Strikes conducted through the night left a manufacturing plant in Dnipro, a southeastern city, along with transport links in Zaporizhzhia and residential blocks in Kremenchuk, with varying degrees of damage, according to posts by area officials on Telegram.
