Overnight, explosions were reported in occupied Crimea, with satellite imagery indicating fires near a Kerch airfield and the Maryanivka power substation, leading to partial outages.

Ukraine's General Staff stated that approximately 1,230 Russian personnel were killed or wounded in the past 24 hours, bringing total estimated Russian losses to 1,402,200 since February 2022.
