Russian drone strikes repeatedly hit Kyiv’s Southern Bridge and prompted closures or restrictions on several Dnipro River crossings, snarling traffic; a strike on a residential high-rise killed one person and injured others. Ukraine said it had received proposals from the United States, India, Turkey and Egypt for a partial truce covering attacks on energy infrastructure and Black Sea shipping.
NATO allies Britain, Norway and the United States stopped Russian submarines from completing a covert drill near Svalbard in which Moscow’s GUGI agency simulated deploying a device to disable critical undersea cables; no cables were harmed as the vessels withdrew, underscoring Western alarm about Russia potentially targeting communications in a future conflict.
