- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that his military has used domestically-produced FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles to strike targets deep within Russia.
- These strikes targeted a military plant in Cheboksary, over 900km from the frontline, and an oil refinery in Russia's Samara region.
- The FP-5 Flamingo missile, which entered service in 2025, has a 3,000km range and can carry a tonne of explosives, designed for low-altitude flight to avoid detection.
- Zelensky also highlighted Kyiv's expanding drone campaign, stating it has disrupted Russian military logistics throughout the temporarily occupied territory.
- Recent incidents include a large fire at Russia's Afipsky refinery in Krasnodar following drone strikes, and explosions reported at military sites in Russian-occupied Crimea.
