Russian guided aerial bombs and ballistic missiles killed at least five people and wounded 20 in a strike on Zaporizhzhia on Sunday, after earlier barrages swept across southern and eastern Ukraine. Regional governor Ivan Fedorov reported 24 injured, including two children, while the interior ministry put the casualty toll at 26, comprising 14 women, nine men and three children. Overnight drone attacks also damaged a garage cooperative and two apartment buildings in the city.

Overnight ballistic strikes ignited fires at warehouse facilities in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district, with Mayor Vitali Klitschko urging residents to remain in shelters. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, a 15-year-old boy was killed and two other children wounded. Ukraine's military faces critical shortages of interceptor ammunition for Patriot air-defence systems.

In Russia, a Wildberries logistics warehouse near Voronezh caught fire, the latest in a campaign that has targeted more than 20 of the e-commerce firm's facilities since mid-July.
