With strike ranges up to 200 km, these KABs can now hit targets far beyond the front line, prompting fears that even cities hundreds of kilometres away could soon be in danger.
Modified KABs cost Russia roughly $250,000 to $300,000 each compared to $1 million for cruise missiles, enabling Moscow to fire 175 precision weapons daily.
For the first time, Ukrainian teams joined the NATO Innovation Challenge, testing systems that could turn Russian guided bombs into neutralized targets.
Russian drones and guided bombs struck homes and infrastructure in at least nine locations. Moscow's attacks killed at least six and injured over 30 civilians across Ukraine.
Ukrainian Air Force data suggests that at least three drones and all 19 missiles may have hit their targets, while Russian bomb attacks go unreported due to the rarity of successful interceptions.
Zaporizhzhia Oblast faced 425 attacks in 24-hour period, with the Zaporizhzhia city suffering three precision strikes while surrounding towns endured air raids, rocket attacks, and artillery bombardment. An 11-year-old girl was among those injured, receiving hospital treatment before returning home.
