The day of the Kamchatka earthquake and the personnel changes

Russian media started the day highlighting the ongoing conflict, with reports of Ukrainian explosions and Russian advances near Melovoye. By late morning, the focus shifted to domestic security, with the FSB claiming to have prevented a terrorist attack against a defense industry chief in St. Petersburg, allegedly by Ukrainian agents. Concurrently, 43 Ukrainian UAVs were reportedly destroyed over Russian regions overnight. In the afternoon, President Putin's statements on the "special military operation" gained prominence, emphasizing participants as the country's "new generation" for leadership roles. The day concluded with multiple reports of a strong earthquake off the coast of Kamchatka, leading to a tsunami threat declaration, alongside continued news of Dmitry Kozak's resignation from his deputy chief of staff role.
