Supported reports confirm Russian strikes on the Mayaki bridge linking southern Ukraine to Romania and Moldova and on a World Health Organization warehouse in Dnipro hit twice in 24 hours. Ukraine conducted a strike 600 miles inside Russia. Unverified claims from one outlet allege 11 missiles and 100 drones targeted Odesa.
