President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that a series of nationwide airstrikes hit an energy facility near the Polish border and several sites in the capital on Monday. The raids killed at least 9 people and wounded more than 80 across Ukraine, representing an expansion of Russian targets beyond the urban centers of Kyiv, Zelenskyy said. In the capital, the attacks continued a pattern of daytime assaults targeting residential buildings, data centers and gas stations.

A direct strike by a jet powered drone on the National Academy of Sciences in central Kyiv killed one person and injured several, including 87 year old political scientist Volodymyr Horbulin. The Financial Times witnessed staff climbing out of third floor windows to escape fires that destroyed half the building, while Russian drones also struck the Dobrobut medical center in downtown Kyiv. Defense Intelligence of Ukraine stated that the Academy has conducted secret and overt research on UAVs and satellite systems for the Ministry of Defense since 2014.
