Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, "Russia launched 35 missiles at Ukraine, most of them ballistic, along with 185 attack drones overnight."

He noted that "Ukrainian forces intercepted only one Russian ballistic missile due to a shortage of interceptor missiles for Patriot systems."

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian General Staff announced strikes on a Russian naval drone warehouse in Crimea, targeting the Black Sea Fleet's intelligence command center in Sevastopol, and destroying several railway lines used by Russian forces to transport equipment and troops.

On the other hand, Russia's Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday that it targeted logistics centers for storing and manufacturing drones and their spare parts, as well as electronic warfare systems, in Kyiv and its surroundings.

The ministry issued a statement saying it carried out attacks on the Vyshneve logistics center in Kyiv, where drone components are assembled and distributed.

The Russian Defense Ministry added that the Vyshneve logistics center in the Kyiv region, which received, stored, assembled, and distributed individual components for drone production, was damaged.
