The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine says attacks on the country's electricity infrastructure by Russia may violate international humanitarian law. Meanwhile, Russia claims gains in Kursk.

Russia claims that it has hit Ukrainian forces in its Kursk border area using Su-34 fighter jets. Footage shows the Russian aircraft preparing for takeoff before they are seen taking to the skies and flying over the Russian countryside.

Moscow’s troops have retaken a few villages in a border area that Kyiv’s forces invaded last month and are also advancing steadily in eastern Ukraine.
