- In Russia, drones targeted the port of Tuapse, killing at least one person and damaging transport infrastructure; this was the second strike on the port in three days.
- Russia launched attacks across several Ukrainian regions overnight, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Sumy, and Zaporizhia, causing civilian injuries and damaging infrastructure.
- Ukraine continues to target Russian oil exports despite European requests to scale back, as sanctions on Russian oil have not been reimposed and the US extended a sanctions waiver until May 16.
- Peace negotiations brokered by the US have stalled, with major disagreements over territorial control hindering progress toward ending the conflict.
