Fierce fighting continued on multiple fronts as Russia claimed on Monday to have struck Ukrainian military infrastructure, and Ukraine reported on the same day of attacking on an oil refinery in Russia's Tatarstan region, according to their latest updates on the conflict.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that over the past 24 hours, Russian forces struck Ukrainian energy and transport infrastructure, logistics centers, assembly shops and warehouses for attack drones and components, as well as Ukrainian troop positions. Russian air defense forces shot down 11 guided aerial bombs and 1,134 fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles.

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported on the same day that 254 battles occurred along the front lines over the past day, and Ukrainian forces repelled dozens of Russian attacks in multiple directions. Ukrainian air forces, missile troops, and artillery struck seven locations where Russian military personnel were concentrated, two ammunition depots, four command posts, and four drone command points. On the same day, Ukrainian forces struck the Taneko oil refinery in Russia's Tatarstan region, causing a fire.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova stated on Monday that the Ukrainian attack on Tatarstan killed at least 13 people, most of whom were citizens of Central Asian countries.

Türkiye's parliament on Monday approved a legal framework for the disarmament and reintegration of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a key step toward ending a decades-long conflict.

Of 562 lawmakers present, 468 voted in favor and 88 against, with six abstentions after nearly 10 hours of debate, highlighting the political sensitivity of the initiative.

The draft legislation, submitted earlier this month, was endorsed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling alliance and also received backing from the pro-Kurdish DEM Party and other opposition groups.

The government has said the legislation is designed to facilitate the disarmament process than grant a general amnesty.

It allows lower-ranking PKK members not involved in killings or other serious crimes to return to Türkiye from northern Iraq under specified legal conditions, while excluding jailed PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan, senior PKK leaders and those serving aggravated life sentences.

The conflict between the PKK and the Turkish state, which began in 1984, has claimed more than 40,000 lives, according to widely cited estimates.

In May 2025, the PKK announced its decision to disarm and disband, following Ocalan's call to end the armed struggle.
