The Russian strikes caused significant damage in Kyiv, shattering windows in the Shevchenkivskyi district, setting a residential building entrance ablaze, and damaging a water supply pipeline. Kyiv's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, confirmed these incidents and noted the closure of the Lukyanivska metro station due to damage to its glass entrance, which was later reopened.

Meanwhile, industrial targets in Russia's Kaluga and Tula regions were targeted by Ukrainian drone attacks, resulting in fires at an oil depot and a fuel storage tank, respectively.
