According to reports from Reuters and the Associated Press, the Ukrainian military announced it had attacked a satellite communication center in Dubna, Moscow Oblast. Russian state news agency TASS reported that the facility was hit by a large-scale drone attack but that television broadcasts and communication services were unaffected.
Drone attacks targeting Moscow also persisted. Russian authorities stated they intercepted 84 drones aimed at the city within a 24-hour period. As a result, aircraft operations at major Moscow airports, including Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky, were temporarily restricted before resuming.
The Ukrainian military also reported striking a missile electronic equipment production facility in southwestern Russia's Voronezh Oblast. Ukrainian sources indicated that this facility produced electronic components used in Iskander tactical missiles.
Voronezh Governor Alexander Gusev reported that five people were killed and dozens injured in the attack. He noted that industrial facilities suffered the most damage, with ten apartment buildings, six private homes, and several vehicles also damaged.
Civilian casualties continued as a result of Russian attacks on Ukraine. In the Sumy region, a Russian drone struck a home, killing three members of a family. In the Zaporizhzhia region, two people were killed and seven injured in a nighttime drone attack. In Odesa, a ballistic missile strike resulted in one death and three injuries.
In the Black Sea, civilian vessels were also affected. The Ukrainian Navy reported that a Russian drone attacked the Panama-flagged cargo ship VICTRESS, operated by Turkey, causing a fire. Ukrainian authorities stated that one Egyptian crew member was killed in the attack.
The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that its air defense systems intercepted 301 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory and areas occupied in Ukraine on the same day.
As hostilities escalate, there are no clear signs of renewed peace talks. While the United States focuses on diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine remain stalled.
