- Ukraine fired more than 400 drones toward Moscow in what the city's mayor called the latest major attack on the Russian capital on Monday
- Russia struck a ship carrying corn near Ukraine's southern port of Odesa with a missile, killing 10 people according to Ukrainian officials
- The Odesa ship strike is characterized as the deadliest attack, with details cut off in the source excerpt
Why it matters: Both strikes happened the same day, illustrating a simultaneous escalation in which Ukraine expanded its drone campaign deep into Russian territory while Russia struck a civilian grain vessel — a direct hit on food-export infrastructure near the Odesa port, the deadliest such attack referenced.
