Dozens were killed and wounded, including senior leadership, in a strike on Russia's Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol, Ukraine. The attack, codenamed "Crab trap," targeted a meeting of the Russian navy's senior members.

In response, Russia's defense ministry confirmed one serviceman was killed and said that five missiles were shot down. Separately, a Russian missile attack on the city of Kremenchuk injured over 30 people, and civilian infrastructure was damaged in Yurkivka.
