Ukrainian authorities provided updates on several fronts. Kyiv experienced explosions on the evening of June 25, with the Air Force reporting a ballistic missile threat and subsequent missile activity as air defense systems engaged. In Donetsk, Ukraine's Operational Command "East" confirmed Russian attempts to infiltrate Kostiantynivka, though its commander denied the city was encircled, contrasting with earlier reports of significant penetration. The Kinburn Spit remains an "active combat zone," according to Ukraine's Naval Forces, highlighting its strategic importance. The death toll from Russia's June 23 missile strike on Kryvyi Rih rose to five after a 23-year-old man succumbed to severe injuries. Additionally, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy approved a 40-day influence operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) aimed at encouraging Russia to end the conflict.
