Ukrainian authorities said overnight Russian strikes killed at least 14 civilians and injured 22 in the Kyiv region. Nine deaths were reported in Brovary district, four in Bucha and one in Fastiv. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said fires broke out in two districts after an air raid alert. Russia's defence ministry claimed its strikes hit a fuel depot and a plant producing parts for Ukrainian missiles. Separately, Ukrainian drone debris sparked a fire at the Ilsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region, injuring five people. Ukraine also said its naval drones hit 12 vessels from Russia's 'shadow fleet' in the Black Sea over the past week. Meanwhile, a US official said Kyiv has agreed not to target non-Russian oil tankers and critical Black Sea infrastructure after strikes last month halted Kazakh crude loadings.
