Russian forces carried out an overnight drone attack on Ukraine's Kharkiv and Dnipro regions, causing injuries to at least six individuals and causing damage to critical infrastructure, as well as commercial and residential buildings, according to regional officials on Saturday. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces deployed 13 Shahed drones targeting these regions in the northeast and centre of the country. The air defence units successfully intercepted and downed all the drones, as confirmed by the air force commander. However, debris from the downed drones struck civilian targets in Kharkiv, resulting in injuries to four people and igniting a fire in an office building, as stated by the regional governor.

Israel has issued Hamas a one-week ultimatum to accept a proposed deal brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar.
