In the southern city of Kherson, a Russian drone killed a man when it struck a delivery van in the city center, according to regional administration head Oleksandr Prokudin. A second man was hospitalized with injuries from the explosion.

In total, Russia launched 236 drones against Ukraine overnight, of which 203 were shot down, while 32 hit targets in 18 different locations, according to the Ukrainian air force.

Ukraine meanwhile attacked a drone factory in the city of Taganrog in southwestern Russia, the Ukrainian General Staff said.

Ukrainian drones ignited a fire at the Atlant Aero plant, which produces attack and reconnaissance drones as well as components for heavier drones.
