As they continue to exchange attacks, Russia and Ukraine report casualties.
Russia bombs Dnipropetrovsk and a cargo ship near Odesa, while Ukraine repeatedly targets Russian oil refineries.
Local officials claim that fresh midnight strikes between Russia and Ukraine have resulted in casualties on both sides.
According to Oleksandr Hanzha, commander of the regional military administration, a Russian attack on the Nikopol district of Dnipropetrovsk in Ukraine resulted in two fatalities and three injuries.

He said on Telegram that drones, artillery, and aerial explosives had struck four regions more than twenty times.
Andrei Bocharov, the regional governor of Volgograd, Russia, reported on Telegram on Friday that a Ukrainian drone attack had killed one person and injured eight.
According to regional governor Yuri Slyusar on Telegram, a woman in the town of Gukovo in the southern Russian province of Rostov was hurt by a drone attack.
Three logistical hubs in Sarapul, Kazan, and Volgograd were among the Russian infrastructure targeted by Ukrainian deep and mid-range strikes, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
According to him, Ukrainian soldiers also attacked an oil refinery in the Volgograd region and a maritime facility in the Krasnodar region of Russia.
Zelenskyy stated on X on Friday, "We continue to carry out our deep and mid-range strikes against Russian infrastructure facilities that support Russia's aggression."
"Under the long-range sanctions plan, our strikes are always about justified responses meant to deprive the Russian war machine of its resources."
He then added, "We are protecting our people and will continue to act as necessary to achieve peace."
Zelenskyy was under pressure at home in addition to defending Ukraine's strikes overseas.
On Friday, thousands of demonstrators filled Khreshchatyk, the main thoroughfare of the city, after marching through the historic center of Kyiv. They called for the reinstatement of former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who had just assumed leadership of the ministry during the war in January before being fired in an unexpected and inexplicable reshuffle in mid-July.
Fedorov is widely acknowledged for spearheading military innovation, and the absence of a clear explanation for his dismissal has stoked conjecture, ranging from a falling out with the former commander-in-chief to unverified allegations that his departure was due to corruption in the defense industry.
The demonstrations, according to the organizers, will go on until Fedorov is given his job back. Zelenskyy has already named Yevhenii Khmara, the acting head of the state security service, as acting defense minister and has showed no signs of changing his mind.
Attacks using fuel
The strikes on Friday were by no means the first time Ukraine has targeted Russian oil refineries with the intention of triggering severe fuel shortages throughout the nation. Moscow, a significant producer of hydrocarbons, has already been forced to start purchasing fuel outside.
The occupied Crimean peninsula is experiencing severe gasoline shortages and outages as a result of Ukraine's disruption of Russian supply routes north of the Sea of Azov.
As it continues its attacks on energy infrastructure that have caused a supply crisis throughout most of Russia, Ukraine recently increased its attacks on the facilities of Wildberries, the largest online store in Russia.
Following the attack on Thursday, Wildberries said that it has given roughly 100,000 vendors whose products were destroyed a second round of cash assistance.
