The Ukrainian army published footage of attempts to intercept Russian Mi-8 and Mi-35 helicopters with FPV drones; the drone models were not disclosed. According to experts, it is difficult for FPV drones to shoot down a helicopter due to the difference in speeds and powerful air flows from the rotors. In addition, FPV drones have a weak automatic stabilization system; it is not designed for powerful wind currents and cannot stabilize the drone’s flight. It is worth noting that there is a possibility of destroying a helicopter if the drone flies towards the helicopter on a collision course and dives down, or uses remote detonation of ammunition.

Prohres and Yurivka has fallen to the Russians. Other developments have put the Russians 6km from Kupyansk, well within even minor artillery range.
LMUR strike in Burhunka.
Recap. Russians have captured Ivano-Darivka. That puts Russians less than 8km from Seversk, also well within smaller artillery range.
FABs arrive in Kupyansk and Kremenaya forests.
RBK-500s land on Ukrainian positions in forest plantations.
Ukrainian policeman caught smearing blood on a doctor in the Kviv children's hospital for staged video.

The Ukrainians wrote that the Russian army began using a variety of balloons to organize radio communications and as a reactive approach to limiting damage caused by kamikaze drones. According to Ukrainian channels, the heights of radio communication balloons range from 500 to 3000 meters, and the distance from the front line is 20 to 50 km.
In Krasnodar, a protest takes place due to power cuts. Residents of several apartment complexes blocked a street, shouting “Give us power!” and urging authorities to resolve the issue of homes being without electricity for several days. The police arrived at the scene. Yesterday, residents of Bataysk in the Rostov region also protested in front of the building of an energy supplying company.
Krasnodar Mayor Yevgeny Naumov came out to speak to protesters demanding electricity. The shortage is due to Ukraine's numerous attacks on electrical and fuel stations.
Another interesting thing is that this is also happening in Odessa, Poltava and some other oblast in Ukraine that I don't remember now.

A large Ukrainian convoy with several armored vehicles and trucks was tracked to a temporary base at night somewhere in the Kharkhiv front. I don't think the Ukrainians realized they were being observed by a UAV at night. Soon enough FABs arrive at the site.

The steam turbine in a nuclear power plant in Rostov malfunctioned. And that is why grid power in that region of southwest Russia went down.
It was not because of sabotage.
The whole grid is stressed because of the extra load required to power the new regions. Losing a power plant capable of like a gigawatt capacity sent the whole area grid down. The government requested local industry to reduce their power usage to get the grid back up.
The situation should improve once the Kursk II nuclear power plant comes online in a year or two.
That would be a failure in Ukraine's own power grid.

Donetsk region!!!!
Footage released by the Russian MoD shows a coordinated action between Iskander missiles and an Orlan-10 against a strategic objective characterized by two railway trains carrying armored vehicles and equipment from the Ukrainian 41st Mechanized Brigade. The Russian action, typically AD (Area Denial), aimed to prevent the aforementioned Brigade from carrying out a strategic concentration, in a meeting area in the town of Barvenkovo, from where it could reinforce the defenses of the important town of Chasiv Yar.Iskanders turn military echelons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into scrap metal: destruction of equipment before it is delivered to the front
Footage of the destruction of military trains with weapons and military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine demonstrates the power of the crews of the Iskander-M OTRK. A group missile strike on two military echelons (each with 20 platforms) with personnel and military equipment of units of the 41st mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of the village of Barvenkovo, Donetsk People's Republic, left no chance for the enemy.
