**Deck**: Russian forces used Geran-series drones overnight to hit districts of Kharkiv City and a truck parking lot in Rivne Oblast, starting large fires and underscoring the reach of long‑range strikes against Ukrainian cities and logistics sites.

Russian drone strikes overnight again hit Ukrainian cities and logistics infrastructure, with Geran-series drones used against Kharkiv Oblast and a truck hub in Rivne Oblast.

Russian forces continued Geran‑2 and Geran‑4 drone attacks against Kharkiv Oblast. Strikes hit Industrialnyi, Saltivskyi, Kholodnohirs'kyi, and Nemyshlianskyi districts of Kharkiv City, along with the cities of Merefa and Zmiiv and the town of Slobozhanske. A large fire was seen burning in Kharkiv City following a strike on the Kholodnohirs'kyi District.

Separately, the aftermath of a Russian Geran‑4/5 jet-drone strike was recorded at a truck parking lot outside an enterprise in the city of Sarny, Rivne Oblast. The strike hit the parking area; the reporting repeats that this was a truck lot outside an enterprise in Sarny.

These attacks show how Russian forces are using Geran drones to hit both urban districts in a frontline region like Kharkiv and a logistics-related site in Rivne, which lies farther from the main fighting.

Key developments to follow include official Ukrainian damage assessments from the affected districts of Kharkiv and from Sarny, any reports of disruption to freight traffic linked to the hit truck parking lot, and possible adjustments to Ukrainian air-defense deployments in response to the pattern of Geran strikes.
