Cross-border strikes persist as US envoys arrive in Moscow and Kyiv

Cross-border attacks continued across multiple regions in Ukraine and Russia overnight, despite scheduled visits by U.S. envoys tasked with facilitating peace discussions. Russian strikes caused casualties in Ukraine's Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, while a Russian attack on a train near the Polish border drew condemnation from European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones targeted Russian territory, including Belgorod and Sochi, alongside a Russian oil refinery.

The military activity coincided with reports of temporary commitments to pause strikes on Moscow and Kyiv during the diplomatic visits, alongside ongoing discussions regarding potential freezes on energy infrastructure attacks. In domestic political developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general prior to his scheduled visit to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
