Amid escalating tensions, Russia repels a large Ukrainian drone attack in the Kursk region, leading to evacuations and IAEA inspection of the nuclear power plant. Communication breakdown ensues as Telegram and Whatsapp face disruptions due to a DDoS attack.

Ukrainian forces make advances, targeting bridges and Russian equipment. Meanwhile, concerns rise over potential Ukrainian attacks on Russian nuclear facilities.

In response, Russia warns of retaliation while Ukraine denies the accusations. The conflict intensifies with drone strikes on a Russian airbase in Volgograd and a military facility in southern Russia, sparking fires but causing no casualties.

The IAEA chief plans to visit the Kursk nuclear plant, raising alarms about the risks of fighting in the region and at the Zaporizhzhia plant. As solidarity and apathy coexist in Russia, some citizens organize aid for the displaced, while others remain indifferent in the face of the escalating war.

The Kremlin prepares Russians for a 'new reality' amidst a fearful population and discussions of potential mobilization, with local elections affected by the ongoing conflict.
