The Ukrainian assessment reported by Fakty ICTV and RBC-Ukraine lists 123 drones and several missile types. As of 8 a.m. Kyiv time, air defences said they had shot down or suppressed 94 drones. These figures come from a party to the conflict and are not independently verified in this brief.

The Kyiv Independent also reports a fire in a residential building in Solomianskyi district, citing the mayor. The full damage and casualty toll remain to be established. The attack follows the conclusion of the Abu Dhabi discussions by several hours; those talks did not produce a ceasefire.
