The day opened with a Ukrainian drone strike igniting a Wildberries sorting center in Tula, a story that dominated morning coverage across state and independent outlets. By mid-morning, attention shifted to President Putin's sweeping military command reshuffles, including the consolidation of rear services and new appointments, which state media framed as a strategic move to enhance efficiency. Independent sources noted the failure of Ukrainian air defenses during overnight Russian strikes on Kyiv that killed at least 15 people. In the afternoon, an assassination attempt on the head of the 'Upyr' drone manufacturer near Yekaterinburg drew coverage, alongside the government's decision to allow lower-grade gasoline imports until 2027. Evening reports focused on Ukrainian attacks in Kursk region and a blackout in Abkhazia, but the reshuffle and the Wildberries fire remained the day's editorial priorities.
