**Deck**: Russian Geran‑series drones struck several districts in Kharkiv Oblast and a truck parking lot in the city of Sarny, Rivne Oblast. The attacks ignited a large fire in Kharkiv’s Kholodnohirs'kyi District and damaged vehicles at a freight staging area.

Russian forces used Geran‑series drones against targets in both eastern and western Ukraine, hitting urban districts in Kharkiv and a truck parking area in Rivne Oblast.

In Kharkiv Oblast, Russia continued its Geran‑2 and Geran‑4 drone attacks. Reported targets included the Industrialnyi, Saltivskyi, Kholodnohirs'kyi, and Nemyshlianskyi districts of Kharkiv City, as well as the cities of Merefa and Zmiiv and the town of Slobozhanske. A large fire was seen burning in Kharkiv City after a strike on the Kholodnohirs'kyi District.

Separately, what was reported as a Russian Geran‑4 or Geran‑5 jet‑drone struck a truck parking lot outside an enterprise in the city of Sarny in Rivne Oblast. Images from the aftermath showed damage in the truck staging area. The available reports did not specify casualty figures or name the enterprise.

The attacks illustrate Russia’s continued use of unmanned systems to hit a mix of urban neighborhoods and logistics‑related sites far from the contact line. In Kharkiv, repeated strikes on different districts keep pressure on residential and industrial zones. In Sarny, a truck parking lot outside an enterprise offers a way to disrupt the flow of goods and equipment by damaging vehicles and creating uncertainty around rear‑area hubs.

Russian use of Geran drones, including jet‑powered variants, allows Moscow to threaten widely separated targets within the same general period, forcing Ukrainian air defences and emergency services to respond in multiple regions at once.

Ukrainian assessments of damage in the struck Kharkiv districts, any confirmation of how freight operations in Sarny were affected, and whether further Geran attacks focus on transport and logistics hubs will show how this phase of Russia’s drone campaign develops.
