Overnight Ukrainian drone campaign dominated coverage, presented as continuation of Novorossiysk and Novy Urengoy strikes. Defence Ministry claimed 448 drones intercepted; outlets tracked damage in Makhachkala port and theater, a death in Voronezh, 576 damaged flats in Novorossiysk, and a rising casualty count in Sochi from sea-drone explosions from eight to 28, including children.
Midday focus shifted to FSB claim of foiled Ukrainian attack on British ambassador's residence in Moscow and arrest of former embassy guard accused of gathering data for SBU, reported without independent verification and followed by British Foreign Office comment.
Evening turned to retaliation narrative: claimed Geran hits on Kyiv drone depot and Chornomorsk freighter, capture of Zarubinka and Goptovka in Kharkiv region, while Peskov accused Kyiv of opening Pandora's box with Black Sea strikes on civilian targets.
