Russia's Defense Ministry says its air defenses shot down more than 150 Ukrainian drones overnight—the largest wave this year—broken down as 79 over the Black Sea/Sea of Azov, 38 over Crimea, and 18 over the Krasnodar region. A 9-year-old was injured in Sevastopol; the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Krasnodar caught fire. About a dozen airports reported temporary flight restrictions as 27 more drones were downed on Tuesday morning, ahead of a fresh round of peace talks in Switzerland between Russia and Ukraine.

Russian Submarine Commander Assassinated While Jogging in Ukraine

Stanislav Rzhitsky, a former Russian submarine captain and mobilization officer, was shot dead while jogging in Krasnodar, Russia. Speculation has arisen that he may have been tracked through his profile on the Strava fitness app. Russian authorities have launched a murder investigation to determine the circumstances and motive behind the killing. Rzhitsky's personal details were also uploaded to a Ukrainian website that lists individuals considered enemies of Ukraine. Ukrainian media has suggested that Rzhitsky may have been in command of a submarine that carried out a missile attack on Vinnytsia, Ukraine, in July 2022. However, Rzhitsky's father claims he resigned from the Russian armed forces before the invasion of Ukraine.
