Regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said one person was killed and two others were injured in an overnight attack on the Zaporidia region in southeastern Ukraine. The Russian ballistic missile strike against Ukraine’s Krivii Li killed at least four people and injured 14 people, including two children, Ukrainian authorities said. Ole Snyevbov, the governor of the region, said the infant, a seven-year-old and six boys were also injured in a drone attack on the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said 15 drone strikes took place in the area. The intercepted Ukrainian drones were forced to evacuate from their homes in the Russian city of Kursk after they raided the apartment building, according to acting governor Alexander Kinstein. Russian provincial press outlets Tass and Ria Novosti report that Russian troops destroyed 93 Ukrainian drones overnight, most of which were destroyed in the Kursk region. The Ukrainian Air Force said it had fired 41 of 74 Russian drones fired overnight towards Ukraine. According to the Air Force, another 20 drones were unable to reach the target due to electronic jamming measures. Ukrainian President Voldy Milzelensky said nearly 4,000 people were left without electricity after a Russian drone crashed into a substation in the Smie region of northeastern Ukraine, and artillery damaged the power lines in the central Dnipolopetrovsk region. Moscow’s Defense Ministry accused Kiev of attacking Russian energy facilities twice in the last 24 hours despite a mutual moratorium on US-mediated energy strikes. A press agency for Germany’s Press Agent (DPA) reported that Russia used air bombs to destroy one of its own dams in the Belgorod border area. No reason was given to destroy the dam.

Russia said it ordered the closing of the Black Seaport terminal, which handles Kazakhstan oil exports and the US giants Chevron and Exxon Mobile, following two inspections on the mooring of the vessels at the terminal.
Ceasefire
Russia and Ukraine accused each other of violating a US-mediated moratorium on energy strikes after reporting that the two countries had caused damage to their energy facilities due to alleged violations.
Politics and diplomacy
The 11 Ukrainian children have been returned to Kiev to Russia and Russian-occupied Ukraine under the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, said Andriy Yermak, President Zelensky’s chief of staff.

Reuters news agency reported that Dmitriev is expected to have talks with President Donald Trump’s administration in Washington this week.
