Russian missiles and drones struck Ukraine overnight, killing at least three people and injuring more than ten, with a Kyiv book market hit and set ablaze. Two people died in Zaporizhzhia after a guided aerial bomb destroyed a house, and one person was killed with 14 injured in Dnipropetrovsk; Ukraine says it intercepted three missiles and nearly 100 drones.

Moscow's mayor said roughly 600 Ukrainian drones were launched at the Russian capital overnight, hitting a warehouse belonging to online retailer Wildberries, which has been targeted repeatedly since July as part of Kyiv's campaign against Russian military logistics. Three people were reported injured in Russia.

Separately, Romania's defence ministry said a Spanish F-18 flying NATO patrol shot down a drone that crossed into Romanian airspace from Moldova near the Ukrainian border, with debris falling in an unpopulated area.
