Meanwhile, a cargo ship carrying corn sank off Odesa after a suspected Russian strike, killing nine crew members. Russia unleashed a devastating barrage of 7 ballistic missiles and over 130 drones across Ukraine overnight, causing deadly strikes in Chernihiv, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia — including a supermarket attack that killed a nine-year-old. In Kyiv, a missile strike ignited an apartment fire, injuring three; two Naftogaz employees died in Sloviansk while helping civilians. Even Russian-occupied areas saw casualties, with Ukraine denying targeting civilians. Ahead, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will meet UK Labour leader Andy Burnham at a naval training base, highlighting Britain’s £25 billion support — and discussing joint tech like the Stone Cloak jammer, whose IP the UK has shared to help Ukraine fend off drones, with plans to integrate it into future UK weapons.
