Here is where things stand on Saturday, Jan 3, 2026:

Two fatalities, including a three-year-old child, and at least 31 injuries resulted from a Russian ballistic missile attack on a residential building in Kharkiv, Ukraine, as reported by the region's governor Oleh Syniehubov. The Russian Ministry of Defence denied responsibility for the Kharkiv attack, attributing it to the detonation of Ukrainian ammunition and suggesting it was a distraction from a previous attack on Khorly in the Kherson region. The death toll from the drone strike on a hotel and cafe in Khorly increased to 28, as stated by Vladimir Saldo, the region’s Russian-installed governor. More than 60 individuals were injured, and Ukraine has denied targeting civilians. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba announced the evacuation of over 3,000 children and their parents from 44 front-line settlements in the Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions due to ongoing conflict. A Ukrainian attack on the electricity grid in the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia region resulted in 1,777 households losing power, reported by regional governor Yevgeniy Balitsky. The Russian Defence Ministry reported shooting down 64 Ukrainian drones overnight, as confirmed by TASS. According to Ukrainian monitoring site DeepState, Russian forces have claimed additional territory in the Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk areas of the Donetsk region, and in Svitle, Ternopil region. Russian forces captured over 5,600 square kilometers (2,160 square miles) of Ukrainian territory in 2025, based on data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). The land seized by Russian forces last year exceeded the combined total of the previous two years but was less than the 60,000 square kilometers (23,166 square miles) taken in 2022.

The death toll from the drone strike on a hotel and cafe in Khorly increased to 28, as stated by Vladimir Saldo, the region’s Russian-installed governor.
