Approximate movement of aerial targets during today's Russian missile and drone attack on the territory of Ukraine.

The "Achilles" strike drone battalion successfully hit a Russian BM-21 "Grad" multiple rocket launcher in the Belgorod region, which had been shelling Kharkiv from Russian-controlled territory.

In Kursk, soldiers of the 22nd Separate Mechanized Brigade showed abandoned fortifications of the 1434th "Akhmat-Chechnya" regiment, which fled in panic during a Ukrainian advance to avoid capture.

Ukrainian forces, likely from the 82nd Air Assault Brigade, are clearing a village in the Kursk region on the first days of the operation. At 3:34, a Ukrainian tank withstands a "Lancet" drone strike.

Sergei Bratchuk confirmed that the 810th Brigade of Crimean Marines, after their "successful" rotations on the Left Bank, was redeployed to the Kursk Front. There, they quickly received a deserved thrashing from HIMARS, and many soldiers ended up in captivity.

In Poland, it was reported that an "airborne object" that entered from Ukraine during a massive missile attack was not shot down due to atmospheric conditions. Polish Operational Commander Maciej Klich stated he was prepared to order its destruction and was in contact with Defense Minister Vladislav Kosiniak-Kamysz and Chief of Staff Wiesław Kukuła. The object disappeared approximately 25 km into Polish territory, and poor atmospheric conditions prevented him from issuing the order to engage it.

The 46th Separate Air Assault Brigade repelled an enemy assault on their positions, destroying both equipment and personnel inside the Russian vehicles. Two MT-LBs filled with infantry were completely burned.

Ukraine's Kursk offensive has not only breached Russian borders but also defied Washington's red lines, which aimed to prevent the war from escalating into Russia. President Zelenskyy has criticized these American restrictions, suggesting they were naive and have now fallen away. This divergence reflects different priorities: the U.S. aims to support Ukraine while avoiding World War III, whereas Ukraine, fighting for its survival, is willing to risk more, even if it means drawing the U.S. into direct conflict with Russia

Zelenskyi held a meeting with his Chief of Staff. The focus is on restoring energy infrastructure after one of the largest Russian attacks, which involved at least 127 missiles and 109 drones. Reports from Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko, Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko, and Ukrenergo Chairman Volodymyr Kudrytskyi detailed the effectiveness of air defense systems, electronic warfare, mobile fire groups, and engineering protection in each region.

According to Zelenskyi, decisions were made based on this analysis. Efforts are ongoing to address damage, repair, and de-mine affected areas, with some locations hit by cluster munitions requiring specialized clearing before repairs can begin. Additionally, there was a report from Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi on the operational situation, including the defense of Pokrovsk, leading to decisions for additional reinforcement in that sector.
