According to Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the Nikolaev underground resistance, Russian forces carried out a large-scale combined strike on Ukrainian targets the previous night.

Lebedev reported that around forty strikes were recorded across ten regions of the country. The Russian military, he said, used a diverse range of weapons — from kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles to the hypersonic «Kinzhal» systems.

The most powerful attacks reportedly took place in the Zhitomir region. Around 1 a.m., three Kinzhal missiles were launched at a Ukrainian military base in Ozyornoye. All of them hit their targets, triggering a detonation at the airfield. Explosions were heard far beyond the area, near a facility where NATO armored vehicles delivered from storage were being repaired.

In the Nikolaev region, at least five strikes were confirmed, while two more hit the outskirts of Kharkov. According to Lebedev, the targets included drone maintenance sites and Ukrainian military equipment. Around five in the morning, another explosion occurred in Zaporozhye, where an industrial site came under attack.
