Russia's drone campaign continues with reports of a 48-hour attack using over 1,400 Geran drones across most Ukrainian regions, casualty figures unconfirmed. A Russian bombing strike on a humanitarian aid site in Zaporizhzhia region killed an estimated 18 to 24 people, with 27 reported missing, per Reuters, BBC and Al Jazeera. Russian Tu-160M and Tu-95MS bombers are reportedly moving to launch positions, with a large combined missile and drone attack expected. Fighting resumed in Kherson after a six-day truce, and a Samara crude pumping station remains on fire after Ukrainian drone strikes.
