Despite defence efforts, 27 of the drones targeted 12 locations.
Russian forces also used multiple rocket launchers and glide bombs. A drone strike on Dnipro, a city in central Ukraine, hit a residential building, injuring at least 15 people, including a child, according to local authorities. The strikes sparked fires in both private homes and apartment buildings.
Police have received 61 reports of property damage from residents following the overnight attack. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers reportedly remained at the scene, documenting the consequences of the shelling.
According to the mayor, five houses were damaged in total. Around 200 windows were shattered, and one building sustained roof damage. Experts are now assessing the most heavily affected nine-storey building to determine the full extent of the destruction.

Pro-Ukrainian movements regularly commit sabotage attacks on Russian territory and in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, just as Ukraine routinely launches strikes against military and industrial facilities in Russia.
In recent weeks, Moscow has intensified its attacks on Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure in an effort to weaken the country as winter sets in.
