A fresh wave of Russian drone strikes near Ukraine’s border with Poland has triggered a major security alert, with reports of damage to a gas station, trucks catching fire and a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train being hit. The strikes took place near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border checkpoint. The locomotive of a passenger train was reportedly attacked around two kilometres from the Polish border, while another reported strike site was around 800 metres from Poland. Preemptive warnings reportedly allowed passengers to take shelter and prevented casualties on the train. Border operations were temporarily disrupted before later resuming.

A senior Hamas commander from the Khan Younis Brigade has been killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), in the latest strike targeting Hamas operatives despite the ongoing ceasefire framework. The IDF identified the slain commander as Hudheifa Muammar, a company commander whom it linked to dozens of attacks and efforts to restore Hamas's military capabilities in the Gaza Strip. Another Hamas operative, Muhammad Bahjat Rashi, was also reported killed in the strike. The Israeli military said its Southern Command will continue operations in Gaza to eliminate what it describes as immediate terrorist threats. The latest developments come despite a ceasefire that brought an end to major fighting, with Israel continuing to carry out strikes over alleged Hamas activity and security threats. WATCH
