Russian and Ukrainian air attacks killed about ten people on both sides of the border, including a Russian missile strike on residential Odesa and drone hits on Mykolaiv port ships, while Ukrainian strikes killed people in occupied Kherson and Belgorod.

Al Jazeera reported a Russian missile that killed two and wounded eight in Odesa, Russian drones damaging foreign-flagged vessels in Mykolaiv (two Ukrainians killed on one ship), and further Russian drone/missile harm in Marhanets and Kherson. Russian-installed authorities and Belgorod officials also reported deaths from Ukrainian drones. The day coincided with continuing Kyiv protests over the defence reshuffle.
