Strikes kill 6 in Ukraine, 1 in Russia after Moscow rejects German de-escalation calls

Overnight strikes killed six in Ukraine and one in Russia, continuing the established pattern of mutual attacks. The strikes follow Moscow's rejection of German calls to de-escalate, amid souring Russia-Germany ties after Berlin blamed the Kremlin for a drone attack at Leipzig airport last month. The incident underscores escalating cross-border violence and diplomatic friction with Germany.
