Additionally, a Ukrainian drone was intercepted over the Tula region, south of Moscow, underscoring the heightened tensions and military activity in the region.

In a retaliatory move, Russian forces reportedly targeted a residential building in Kupyansk, located in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. The strike, conducted by enemy aviation, resulted in the destruction of a five-story residential building. Thankfully, there were no casualties reported, although multiple apartments were engulfed in flames.
