Russian officials said one person was killed in the Ukrainian drone strikes and that only four ships came under attack. Ukraine\u2019s General Staff said 21 tankers used to transport oil and petroleum products were damaged overnight, in addition to four tugboats, two cargo ships and a dredging vessel.<\/p>\n

In Ukraine, 11 people, including one child, were wounded in attacks overnight on Kyiv, the State Emergency Service reported. In the southern region of Odesa, two people were killed after a Russian missile struck a building, said regional head Oleh Kiper. Another man was wounded by shrapnel.<\/p>\n

Explosions and fires were reported across Kyiv\u2019s Solomianskyi, Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts, the emergency service said.<\/p>\n

Russia launched 12 missiles, including six ballistic missiles, along with 121 drones against Ukraine overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. He said most of the drones and some of the missiles were shot down, but the ballistic missiles reached their targets, reiterating Ukraine\u2019s dire air defense gaps.<\/p>\n
