Overnight Ukrainian drones struck the naval base at Novorossiysk, hitting an oil terminal and Kalibr carriers, with officials later claiming damage to the frigate Admiral Essen and a record 3,000-km strike in Yamal.

Russia answered with an all-day drone campaign. A crossing on the Moldovan border was hit, killing two, a Kharkiv-Izyum train car was struck, and Kyiv faced seven alerts. A drone hit a 24-storey building and warehouses in Dniprovskyi district, injuring nine, then a 9-storey building, killing a woman and injuring three. In the evening a drone hit a shopping-center parking lot in central Sumy, killing three, including a 21-year-old couple, and injuring about 20.

Trump called his conversation with Putin wonderful and urged Zelensky toward a deal, amid reports CIA director Ratcliffe could lead US talks. Norway’s premier said Zelensky’s plane nearly collided with a drone after takeoff from Moldova.
