Overnight coverage was dominated by what state agencies called one of the largest drone attacks in two years, with some 650 UAVs headed toward Moscow, dozens downed on approach, two killed in the Moscow region and a fire at the region's largest oil depot. A terrorism case was opened as officials also reported four killed in LNR and casualties in Gorlovka and Belgorod. Moscow answered by circulating Defence Ministry footage of the strike on Kyiv's Northern Bridge and claiming new hits in Poltava, Odesa and Zaporizhzhia.
By evening attention shifted to the Black Sea, where a Liberian-flagged tanker carrying oil was hit by uncrewed boats off Sochi, caught fire and forced beach closures in Sirius.
Away from the war, outlets noted the bribery detention of Patriot Park chief Igor Vasilyev and Trump's offer to help with the Irkutsk pneumonia case that prompted WHO queries and Indonesian screening.
