Russia "attacked the south of the country again", the Defence Forces of the South of Ukraine said on the messaging platform Telegram.

The Ukrainian military reported shooting down 26 of the 38 Iranian-made attack drones it said were launched by Russia. Moscow has intensified its air attacks on Ukrainian ports on the Danube River, including Izmail and Reni, after it quit a grain deal in July that ensured the safe export of Ukrainian grains.
