At least two Russian civilians were killed by a Ukrainian missile attack on Crimea, said local governor Sergey Aksyonov. About 20 explosions were reported in the vicinity of Simferopol presumably attributed to cluster munitions carried by US-supplied long-range ATACMS* missiles. Ukraine closed in on deploying US-made fighter jets against Russia after its first batch of pilots completed an F-16 training in Arizona, Politico reported. The FSB* Director said Ukrainian intelligence was “directly involved” in the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall just outside Moscow in March. The Ukrainian Armed Forces acknowledged that Kyiv might have to agree to the loss of territory in order to end the war, ABC reported. Ukraine said it had halted a Russian ground offensive in Kharkiv and was now attacking Moscow’s forces that mounted a surprise assault on the border region. Russian jamming repeatedly kept GLSDB* bombs Ukraine was using since earlier this year from hitting their intended targets, Reuters reported. Russia said Ukraine had already used US-supplied weapons to strike targets outside what he called the “conflict zone.”
