Ukrainian UAVs attacked Shaykovka Air Base in Kaluga Oblast. Explosions were heard and NASA FIRMS data picked up a fire. Tu-22M3 strategic bombers are based there, however based on previous satellite imagery, it appears that only fuel tanks holding lubricants are burning, although this will affect the flights of aircraft.

Ukrainian UAVs attacked the Geodesy Research Institute in Moscow Oblast. Strong explosions were heard, and a large fire has broken out at the impact site.
The Geodesy Research Institute is a testing ground for ammunition of the Russian defence-industrial complex.

The UAV attack is still ongoing by the way. Drones have been over Russia for 20 hours straight.
Some sources report that over 400 UAVs were launched by Ukraine at Russia last night, which would make it the largest drone attack conducted by either side since the beginning of the war.
At least six impacts have been recorded so far, including at two air bases, a military research and production enterprise, two defence-related factories, and a defence-related research institute.
Additionally, at least 5 Neptune Anti-ship missiles were launched from Odesa and flew towards Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai where the Russian Black Sea Fleet is based, however all missiles were shot down near Crimea.
Su-24/MiG-29s also set off alerts for Crimea, Rostov and Krasnodar Krai due to the threat of Storm Shadow Cruise Missile launches, but no launches took place, and the aircraft returned from the launch lines to their home air bases.
In addition to all of this, Ukrainian Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), also known as "drone-boats", were active in the waters of the Black Sea. They can carry FPV drones, Surface-to-air missile launchers and MLRS. It's possible that FPV drones targeted Crimea.

A "security incident" occurred in Rafah, southern Gaza, which means Israeli soldiers have been killed and/or wounded.
Local sources report seeing two evacuation helicopters landing to evacuate Israeli soldiers.

Two Israeli airstrikes targeted the Abu Hamisseh School in the Al-Bureij Refugee Camp in central Gaza, which was sheltering displaced civilians.
The first reportedly killed 22 people and wounded dozens more, while the second hit shortly afterwards as rescue efforts were underway, killing 17 more people and wounding 50 others, which would bring the death toll to 39, making it the deadliest massacre in Gaza in recent weeks.
Additionally, the last surviving mosque in the camp was bombed after all evacuation orders were issued for the surrounding residential buildings.
