- Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile on Ukraine’s central-eastern city of Dnipro, the Ukrainian air force says, without elaborating on the results of the attack. There was no immediate comment by Russia.
- Ukrainian air defences shot down six Kh-101 cruise missiles during the attack, the air force says.
- Russia’s Defence Ministry claims its forces have captured the Dalnje village in Ukraine’s Donetsk region.
- Moscow is ready to consider any “realistic” peace initiative on the conflict in Ukraine, which takes into account Russia’s own interests and the situation on the ground, the Russian Foreign Ministry says.
