- Ukraine has renewed its drone strikes on Russian business targets, causing injuries and significant disruption, including attacks on Wildberries warehouses in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk.
- In Krasnodar, 10 people were wounded in an attack on a storage complex, and drone debris also damaged two high-rise apartments, though without causing further injuries.
- Ukrainian drones targeted occupied Crimea, hitting two electric substations in Masandra and Yalta, resulting in widespread blackouts and power outages across the peninsula, including Alushta.
- These recent strikes on Crimean energy infrastructure have led to limited access to essential services such as food, running water, and electricity for much of the region.
- Separately, Ukraine's military leadership is grappling with a fresh political crisis following president Volodymyr Zelensky's decision to sack the head of the armed forces and name a successor, alongside earlier protests over the dismissal of defence minister Mykhailo Federov.
