Oleksandr Pivnenko, the commander of Ukraine's National Guard, said Russia was preparing unpleasant surprises and could try to advance on the northeastern city of Kharkiv, the second-biggest in the country, in the coming months.
At least nine people were injured after a Russian drone attack on the Black Sea port of Odesa, which damaged more than a dozen residential apartments. Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched a total of 16 attack drones and two short-range Iskander ballistic missiles in the attack, which was also aimed at Kyiv, but all were shot down.
One person was injured by falling drone debris in the Mykolaiv region. A Russian rocket attack on the Dnipropetrovsk region left four people in hospital. Emergency services in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine's Zaporizhia region said four people travelling in a car north of the town of Melitopol were killed in a Ukrainian drone attack.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said the country would suspend consular services for military-age men overseas unless they are returning home, as it tries to mobilise more men to fight on the front lines.
