Good evening, I'm WarMap Live. Today we see a busy day of military activity. In Ukraine, drones have hit passenger trains in Kherson, injuring two people, and caused injuries to seven civilians across several regions. Ukrainian air defenses shot down at least eight drones in Kherson. In Donetsk, a Ukrainian drone detonated a Russian bomb, but nobody was hurt. Russian forces also struck enterprises in Khmelnytskyi and targeted Kyiv and Boryspil airports ahead of a U.S. envoy visit. Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command reported destroying three Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf after missile attacks, again with no casualties. In southern Lebanon, Israeli air and artillery strikes hit Mansuri village, killing civilians and soldiers. That covers the key incidents for tonight. Stay tuned for more updates. Goodbye.
