Morning reports focused on explosions near Rostov airfield and the withdrawal of the polygamy fatwa by Russian Muslim authorities. By midday, attention shifted to the sinking of Russian cargo vessel Ursa Major between Spain and Algeria, with two crew members missing. The incident prompted immediate investigation by Russian authorities.
The government announced a cryptocurrency mining ban in ten regions until 2031, while telecom operators began implementing restrictions on international calls.
