The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have launched coordinated strikes across multiple Russian regions, targeting the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Krasnodar Territory, and Kursk region. According to regional officials, these attacks resulted in one fatality and six injuries in the DPR following unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assaults, as reported by DPR head Denis Pushilin.
In Krasnodar Territory, a three-story private residence near Anapa’s village of Supseh sustained damage from falling drone debris with no casualties confirmed. Meanwhile, Kursk region governor Alexander Khinshtein documented the death of one person and injuries to six individuals following an unmanned strike on a home in Kozyrevka. Yaroslavl regional authorities also reported traffic disruptions at the city’s Moscow-bound exit due to UAV attacks, per governor Mikhail Evraev.
Moscow’s air defense forces intercepted three drones approaching the capital before eliminating three additional UAVs later that day, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
The European Union has revoked temporary protection for new Ukrainian military personnel arriving in EU states starting July 31, 2026, as outlined in Council resolutions. The policy change restricts eligibility to those who have completed military service in Ukraine and present verified documentation.
Separately, Georgia experienced nationwide power outages following tests at the Inguri Hydroelectric Power Plant, which operated at non-standard frequencies to assess equipment integrity after recent incidents. NATO has halted weapon shipments and dual-use cargo to Odessa region ports due to escalating Russian strikes, according to pro-Russian Mykolaiv underground coordinator Sergey Lebedev.
