Key points from recent reports:

• Ukraine reportedly intensified attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, striking 14 times in a 24-hour period.
• Russia claims these actions violate a US-brokered 30-day moratorium on such strikes.
• The accusations come alongside a rising tide of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, with civilian casualties reported.

In a statement released by the Channel News Asia, Russia's defense ministry stated that Ukraine has "multiplied the number of unilateral attacks" targeting its energy infrastructure. The report indicated that strikes occurred in Russian regions including Bryansk, Belgorod, Smolensk, Lipetsk, and Voronezh, along with Ukrainian areas of Luhansk and Kherson that are under Russian control.

Russia's assertion comes despite a U.S.-brokered moratorium on attacks against energy infrastructure, which both nations agreed upon last month. Ukraine's military has refuted these claims, labeling them as "fake" and part of a disinformation campaign to manipulate public perception. Reports indicate that as part of these escalating tensions, Russia struck the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, resulting in numerous civilian fatalities, including children, as detailed by TRT World.

Separately, drone attacks attributed to Ukraine were reported in two regions of Russia, where local officials noted hits on industrial facilities. Governor of Mordovia reported a strike on an optical fiber factory, underscoring the conflict's broadening impacts on both nations' infrastructure.

As the situation develops, the international community continues to monitor the ceasefire violations and the humanitarian consequences of the ongoing conflict.
