Episode Details

A Russian lieutenant general was reportedly killed in a car bombing near Moscow, potentially marking the fourth successful elimination of a senior Russian officer deep inside Russia's rear. The location is notable: a military-focused district built for defense personnel, veterans, and military families.

Meanwhile, Ukraine continued a broad campaign against Russian military infrastructure. New footage released by the SBU appears to show successful strikes on Russian naval vessels, air defense systems, ammunition depots, logistics hubs, and critical supply routes supporting operations in occupied Ukraine.

On the battlefield, Russia launched another large drone attack but again refrained from using significant numbers of missiles, suggesting that a larger strike package may still be accumulating. Ukrainian air defenses remained active while Russian attacks continued to inflict civilian casualties across multiple cities.

We also examine the growing pressure on Russian logistics into Crimea, reports of surrendering Russian soldiers guided out by Ukrainian drones, and the broader question of whether Russia's rear areas are becoming a new front in the war.
