"Ukrainian naval drones hit Russian ports in Novorossiysk and Tuapse on Wednesday, causing the temporary suspension of operations by Russia's oil pipeline monopoly Transneft's oil terminals at the sites, according to a Ukrainian intelligence source. A drone was downed and detonated approximately 800m (some 0.5 miles) from the perimeter of the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant in the Mykolaiv region after 22 Russian drones were observed in the vicinity of the plant, the International Atomic Energy Agency said."
"German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called for effective deterrence by NATO in response to repeated airspace violations by Russia and reiterated the military alliance's commitment to use all necessary military and non-military tools to defend itself. NATO's Secretary-General Mark Rutte has backed United States President Donald Trump's comments this week that NATO member countries should shoot down Russian drones and planes if they enter their airspace."
Ukrainian naval drones struck Russian ports at Novorossiysk and Tuapse, prompting Transneft to temporarily suspend operations at affected oil terminals. A drone was downed and detonated about 800m from the perimeter of the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant after 22 Russian drones were observed nearby, according to the IAEA. Russian state media alleged an attempted attack on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in western Russia. Chernihiv and surrounding districts suffered major power cuts affecting about 30,000 consumers following a Russian strike on critical infrastructure. European leaders called for stronger deterrence and clear rules of engagement, urging proportional but firm responses to airspace violations.
