Russian attacks killed at least two people and wounded six in the Dnipropetrovsk region on Friday, part of a barrage that struck the area at least 50 times with drones, artillery and aerial bombs. A strike on a market in Bilopillja wounded ten people, while cluster munitions killed two in Kharkiv and a drone struck a car in Kherson, killing a 77-year-old woman. Near Kyiv, three people including a child were killed in the Brovary district, with residential buildings and cars damaged in an eastern suburb of the capital.

Ukraine launched retaliatory strikes, with a drone hitting an apartment building in Kerch, Crimea, killing two. Multiple drones were also seen over a Wildberries logistics facility in Yekaterinburg before large fires broke out. Kyiv says its 40-day campaign has hit 14 refineries, oil depots, aircraft and airfields.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's president arrived in Serbia for his first official visit to the Balkan country.
