Ukrainian drones struck a significant gas processing plant in southern Russia, igniting a fire and leading to a temporary halt of gas intake from Kazakhstan, authorities confirmed Sunday. The Orenburg facility, operated by Gazprom, is part of one of the world's largest gas production complexes.

Suggestions by former U.S. President Donald Trump hint that Ukraine might need to cede territory for peace, marking a shift in his stance on the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, Moscow allegedly modified bombs for deeper strikes in Ukraine, with reports of a new rocket-powered bomb hitting residential areas in Kharkiv.

Simultaneously, the escalating conflict has witnessed intensified exchanges, including Ukrainian drones targeting Russian oil refineries, and Russia's continued night raids with drones into Ukrainian territory, resulting in numerous downed units on both sides.
