Russia conducted a large-scale missile and drone assault across Ukraine, with significant impacts in Kyiv and other cities. In Kyiv, the 11th-century Dormition Cathedral, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery, sustained extensive damage and was seen in flames. Residential buildings were also struck, causing power outages and fires in the Podil district, with one person injured. The attacks killed at least 10 people nationwide, including four rescuers in Kharkiv in a double-tap missile strike, and injured six others. A Russian drone strike on a zoo in Kharkiv killed 10 rabbits and injured 15, with prosecutors investigating the incident as a war crime. Russia denied striking the monastery, claiming a U.S.-made Patriot missile caused the damage, while Ukraine stated fragments of a Russian drone were found at the site. Ukraine's air defenses intercepted most of the incoming missiles, but the country faces a critical shortage of Patriot missiles amid intensifying Russian ballistic missile attacks. Kyiv is seeking aging interceptors and trading drone expertise for missiles. In a separate development, Ukraine launched drone attacks that damaged two bridges connecting the Russian-held Kherson region with Crimea, suspending traffic on the routes. Ukraine also conducted a drone attack in Russia's Tula region, which killed three people, including a child. In response to the ongoing attacks, the European Union adopted new sanctions targeting Russian energy revenues and propagandists.
