Ukrainian forces struck Russian FSB facilities and bridges, while Moscow faces scrutiny for prosecuting captured Ukrainian soldiers under terrorism charges.

Ukrainian forces launched targeted strikes against Russian military and intelligence assets overnight, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The operations hit a temporary Federal Security Service (FSB) deployment point in occupied Shchaslyvtseve, Kherson Oblast, alongside a road bridge over the Seim River in Russia's Kursk region and a railway bridge in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

In Kherson, local police released video showing a 52-year-old civilian vendor who survived a targeted Russian drone attack, citing deliberate strikes on non-combatants.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces captured two Russian service members, while reports indicate Moscow is prosecuting captured Ukrainian troops involved in the Kursk offensive under terrorism charges rather than granting standard prisoner-of-war protections.
