Russian military forces have continued their offensive against Ukrainian cities, resulting in casualties and infrastructure damage. In the eastern city of Kramatorsk, at least two people were killed and ten others injured following a series of strikes, including an attack on a small car and subsequent hits by four aerial bombs.

In the port city of Odessa and its surrounding areas, at least 24 people were injured during a series of Russian attacks. These strikes caused damage to multi-story residential buildings and warehouses.
