Trump announced overnight that US forces had bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities, calling the strikes a "stunning military success" and warning Iran against retaliation. Ukrainian media tracked the story through multiple headline revisions, with Radio Svoboda publishing before-and-after satellite images of the Fordo uranium enrichment facility by evening.
The strike followed the escalating Middle East tensions from previous weeks, with Yemen declaring entry into the regional war and world leaders warning of "catastrophic consequences." The Pentagon issued its first statement defending the action while the UN Security Council convened an emergency session.
Meanwhile, Russian forces struck a Ukrainian military training ground, killing three and wounding 14. Commander-in-Chief Syrsky revealed Ukraine controls 90 square kilometers in Kursk region, contradicting Russian claims of having expelled Ukrainian forces. He also disclosed that interceptor drones prove nearly twice as effective against Shaheds compared to mobile fire groups. The frontline recorded 171 engagements, concentrated in Pokrovsk sector.
