Quote: "The attack with Shahed-131/136 uncrewed aerial vehicles, launched by the enemy in the evening, lasted 7 hours. Loitering munitions attacked the southern oblasts from temporarily occupied Crimea and the eastern coast of the Sea of Azov."

Details: Air defence units performed effectively in Mykolaiv and Odesa oblasts, destroying 1 and 6 Shaheds respectively.

However, Kherson Oblast suffered strikes, with damage to several private residential buildings in Tiahyn hromada [an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories - ed.].

The wreckage of a downed Russian UAV crashed in the coastal area of Odesa district, causing a fire in an open space. The blaze was promptly put out.

No casualties were reported.
