- A drone crashed and exploded near Bender, Moldova, on Wednesday during a large-scale Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine, extending the regional security threat beyond Ukrainian borders.
- Russia launched 188 drones and missiles in the overnight assault, primarily targeting Kyiv, while Ukrainian forces intercepted 155 of the drones as Russian strikes damaged homes and infrastructure in 18 locations.
