- Casualties rose 30% from the previous month and 70% since July 2025, reflecting Russia's intensification of long-range missile strikes across Ukraine.
- Kyiv remains one of the hardest-hit cities with at least 54 deaths, while President Zelensky reported a Russian drone destroyed a passenger train in the Odesa region with 340 people aboard.
