Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure left more than 600,000 consumers without electricity in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, extending power disruptions across multiple districts.

On the frontlines, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported 199 combat engagements over a 24-hour period. Russian forces launched intense bombardments, including 74 airstrikes and thousands of kamikaze drone attacks, with the heaviest offensive activity concentrated in the Kostyantynivka direction.

Amid the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian military surgeons continue performing complex limb-sparing procedures using titanium implants to prevent amputations for wounded personnel. Additionally, reports indicate Ukraine has conducted three tests of space target interception systems aimed at countering high-altitude ballistic threats such as Russia's Oreshnik missile and reducing reliance on foreign satellite technology.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani reported that cybercriminals published personal details concerning him and his family on the dark web, offering financial rewards for additional information. Tajani linked the breach to Italy's support for Ukraine and described the incident as part of an escalating "hybrid warfare" campaign, urging G7 nations to coordinate a unified response. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed concern following the cyber threats against public officials and judges.

The breach marks a shift toward targeting individuals alongside public infrastructure. Recent cyber incidents in Italy and across Europe have compromised data from the Brenner Base Tunnel construction authority, gift provider Smartbox, commercial networks, and aviation systems. Authorities and media outlets have linked the surge in attacks to pro-Russian hacking collectives, including Noname. Tajani stated he would not be intimidated by the threat.

Polish authorities have broadened their investigation into the Krakow mass shooting after three additional bodies were located inside the suspect's residence, raising the total death toll to nine. Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that the victims found in the suspect's home—two women and one man—are believed to be close relatives of the attacker.

The native Polish gunman opened fire in Krakow's central square earlier in the day, killing six bystanders and injuring at least 15 others before police wounded and detained him. Security services are currently examining potential connections between the shooter and far-right extremist organizations. Additionally, footage showing the initial assault on bystanders and the subsequent police intervention has been widely shared across digital platforms.
