01.06.2025Day Ukraine Destroyed Russia's Bomber Fleet
Ukraine executed "Operation Spider Web," an eighteen-month planned drone strike that destroyed over forty Russian strategic bombers across multiple airfields, reaching deep into Siberian territory. Media coverage escalated throughout the day, with outlets describing it as Russia's "Pearl Harbor" moment and the elimination of one-third of Russia's bomber fleet.

The operation overshadowed continued coalition tensions as Wilders maintained his threat to exit government if asylum plans face rejection, building on previous days' ultimatums. Earlier reporting covered deadly riots in France following PSG's Champions League victory, with over 550 arrests and two deaths.

Domestic football provided contrast as Telstar achieved promotion to the Eredivisie after 47 years, while Verstappen faced penalties after a chaotic Spanish Grand Prix. Polish presidential elections remained too close to call between liberal Trzaskowski and conservative Nawrocki, determining whether judicial reforms can proceed.

Violence elsewhere included a hospital fire in Hamburg set by a 72-year-old patient, killing three, and a suspected terror attack in Colorado.
