Drone attacks continue to impact Russian infrastructure; Ukraine seeks more air defense

Disruptions at Russia's Sochi airport have continued since June 5, with thousands of passengers experiencing flight delays and cancellations due to drone attacks, leading to reports of an overcrowded terminal. Separately, a drone attack on the night of June 8 caused a fire at the "Sheskharis" oil terminal in Novorossiysk. On the front lines, Ukrainian forces confirmed the destruction of a temporary Russian deployment point in Shchastia, Luhansk, on June 7, targeting the 5th Cossack reconnaissance and assault brigade "Terek." Reports from the Dobropillia front indicate significant Russian drone activity. In diplomatic news, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed UK Labour leader Keir Starmer about Ukraine's need for additional air defense missiles and enhanced protection for its energy infrastructure.
