The EU extended sanctions against Russia following a train strike near Poland, while casualties were reported across Kherson, Sochi, and Belgorod.

The European Union has extended its sanctions against Russia following a Russian strike on a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border, which EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned as an attempt to intimidate European nations.

On the ground, cross-border hostilities persisted as Russian shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region killed two people and injured 14 others. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Sochi and Russia's Belgorod region reportedly injured seven individuals.

In domestic political developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a decree dismissing the country's prosecutor general. Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Moscow and Kyiv have agreed to refrain from targeting energy infrastructure.
