The attack targeted the office of acting SBU head Poklad, prompting Zelensky to order a response. Earlier, Ukrainian drones struck an oil depot and air defense systems in Sochi, causing a major fire and fears of 'oil rain'. A Russian strike on Odesa killed one and injured five. Zelensky dismissed deputy chiefs of SBU and HUR following the previous day's shootout, with media exploring inter-agency rivalry. The day saw multiple air alerts in Kyiv.
