Ukrainian Paramilitaries Launch Cross-Border Attacks on Russian Territory

Pro-Kyiv militias, comprised of Russian citizens opposing the Kremlin, launched cross-border raids into Russian territories, claiming to seize control of a village, prompting Moscow to respond with rockets and "flame-throwing." Russia denied the incursions and reported repelling all attacks, with casualties and damage reported in border regions. In a significant escalation, Ukraine launched drone strikes on Russian energy sites, including a major oil refinery, with Russia's Lukoil temporarily suspending operations. Additionally, a Russian military transport plane crashed in the Ivanovo region after an engine fire.
