The day opened with a Ukrainian drone attack on a Wildberries logistics center in Yekaterinburg, more than 2,000 km from the border, which state-aligned outlets reported with an emphasis on fire containment and evacuation. By afternoon, a strike on a residential building in Kerch killed at least two people, shifting editorial focus to civilian casualties in Crimea. Concurrently, the Rodina party filed a lawsuit to remove the anti-war Yabloko party from the State Duma ballot, a move covered by both state and independent media. The US Senate's passage of a new sanctions bill and Elon Musk's refusal to allow Starlink use for deep strikes into Russia dominated evening coverage, alongside reports of a mysterious explosion in Moscow.
