Good morning. Overnight we saw coordinated Russian drone strikes on two major Ukrainian airports — Boryspil and Kiev — with no injuries reported. At the same time, a Russian ground attack on an industrial site in Kamienka killed four workers and wounded six. In southern Lebanon, Israeli forces raided near Sour and kept up heavy shelling around Ali Taher Hill, while a separate strike on Hezbollah infrastructure left three dead. Out in the Gulf, explosions near Kharg Island were followed by what multiple outlets describe as a US missile strike on an Iranian oil tanker; no casualties there. And in Afghanistan, a Taliban firefight in Laghman province killed three Green Movement fighters. That's the picture as of this morning.
