The day opened with reports of a Ukrainian drone attack on Cheboksary, which by mid-morning escalated to a cruise missile strike, killing two and injuring over 30, as covered by multiple outlets (NTV.ru, RIA Novosti, Interfax, Lenta.ru). The attack on the residential building and the shutdown of the Kirishi refinery (Meduza) dominated state-aligned coverage, while independent sources also highlighted the mobile internet outages in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which were restored by late morning. In the afternoon, editors shifted to the US operation in the Strait of Hormuz, with TASS reporting Rubio's defensive framing and Meduza covering Trump's threats to Iran. The day also saw the confiscation of Rusagro founder Vadim Moshkovich's assets (Kommersant, TASS) and a phone call between Lavrov and Rubio (NTV.ru).
