Ukraine launched an attack on Russian-occupied Melitopol, a strategically vital city, with conflicting reports on casualties from both sides.
Russian-installed authorities reported two killed and ten injured, claiming a 'recreation centre' was hit by HIMARS missiles; the exiled Ukrainian mayor stated scores of 'invaders' were killed in a strike on a church used by Russians.
Melitopol is a critical industrial and transport hub, essential for Russian logistics in southern Ukraine, and its control is seen as key to Ukrainian forces potentially advancing towards Crimea.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
