During the night, air‑raid alerts were announced in several Ukrainian regions, with explosions reported in Odessa, Kharkiv, Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk. The channel announced it.

Ukrainian Air Force said it neutralized 123 of the 134 drones detected during the night, as well as three missiles. Six drone strikes were recorded in five locations, with falling debris observed in four places.

In the Odessa region, a fire broke out on a Togo‑flagged vessel at a port, destroying part of the infrastructure. Three people died and ten were injured by the blaze; another five were hurt in the city itself. Local authorities reported the damage.

In Kharkiv oblast, eight people were injured and twenty buildings, fuel stations and railway infrastructure were damaged. The regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov, posted the information on his Telegram channel.

In Dnipropetrovsk oblast, one person suffered injuries and more than five buildings were damaged. Emergency services are working to assess the full extent of the destruction.

Sumy oblast authorities reported shelling, airstrikes and drone attacks in 18 settlements over the past day, affecting about ten structures. No civilian casualties were confirmed, but the attacks disrupted daily life in several communities.

In Zaporizhzhia city, two people were killed and nine injured after an evening strike on 12 July. Rescue operations continue, and authorities are searching for survivors among the ruins.

The Russian Defense Ministry said it hit fuel‑energy and transport facilities used by the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as drone assembly workshops, ammunition and fuel depots, and temporary military deployment sites. It also claimed an attack on the port of Chernomoretsk, destroying a floating dock, an auxiliary vessel and three cargo ships bound for the Ukrainian army.

According to experts, the high volume of drones used in the attacks reflects a strategic push to overload Ukrainian air defenses and strike logistical nodes, including fuel depots and transport hubs. Such strikes are intended to degrade the capacity of Ukrainian forces to sustain operations, but also pose severe risks to civilians. Russian officials justify the strikes as targeting military assets, but independent observers note that many of the impacted sites are dual‑use, complicating verification.
