⌨Russian outlets report major escalation in cross-border strikes overnight, with Russian air defenses claiming destruction of 147 Ukrainian drones while Russia launched coordinated Kinzhal missile and Geran drone attacks on Kyiv's airport, reportedly targeting American air defense systems (Izvestia, Lenta.ru). The Kiev strikes killed 14 civilians in residential areas and damaged critical infrastructure, according to Ukrainian officials (The Moscow Times, Svoboda.org, Vesti).
