Good evening. I’m here to give you a quick rundown of today’s incidents. In Russia, the port of Sochi saw an explosion, a naval strike on the supply ship Nefrit, and a sea drone hit—all with no casualties. Earlier, Ukrainian drones struck residential buildings in Kubinka, also without casualties, and in Sevastopol, Ukrainian forces destroyed a landing craft and a Krasukha‑4 complex. At Engels air base, an attack targeted the commander of the 22nd Guards Bomber Aviation Division. In Ukraine, a Russian drone struck a high‑rise in Odesa, injuring 17 people, including three children. Outside the main theatres, heavy fighting broke out in Baidoa, Somalia, between rival forces, and in Kirkuk, Iraq, three people were sentenced for launching rockets at a camp. That’s the summary for today. Thank you for listening.
