Russia launched overnight missile strikes and 157 drones at targets including Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia and Odesa, while Ukraine struck one of Russia’s largest refineries, authorities said. The Ukrainian air force said air defenses shot down 131 targets but did not specify whether missiles were among them. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko reported at least 16 wounded and a water outage in eastern districts; Odesa officials reported six wounded and damage to buildings and infrastructure. The Yaroslavl refinery, a fuel supplier for Moscow and surrounding regions, was struck for the second time after previous attacks, most recently in late August. Both Moscow and Kyiv said they welcomed the idea of an energy ceasefire but said no agreement to halt attacks has been reached, contradicting claims by Trump that such a deal exists.
