Russian forces launched more than 150 drones and a volley of Zircon and Iskander missiles overnight. Air defences intercepted 109 targets, but strikes injured a person in the capital, destroyed trucks in Odesa and cut power in five regions. The government has asked European Union members to hand over their stockpiled Patriot missile systems immediately, promising to replenish them later. On the front line, forces reportedly captured 250 Russian soldiers during an offensive that deployed "zombie cars" for the first time. Away from the fighting, a diplomatic dispute has opened with South Korea. Seoul summoned a diplomat to complain of an "erosion of trust" following President Volodymyr Zelensky's comments regarding North Korean captives. Investigative journalists from Bihus.Info traced $1m worth of apartments to people linked to the president's deputy chief of staff, Oleh Tatarov. Elsewhere, the destruction of 150 houses and a factory in a single night is the subject of a new story, on which the local village council has chosen to remain entirely silent.
