New reports indicate significant disruptions at Russia's Sochi airport since June 5, with thousands of passengers stranded due to drone attacks causing dozens of flight delays and cancellations. Separately, the June 7 guided aerial bomb strike on Balabyne, Zaporizhzhia, resulted in two fatalities and damage to residential buildings, a school, infrastructure, and a public transport stop where the victims were located. Earlier reports of Ukrainian forces destroying a Russian deployment point in Shchastia, Luhansk, on June 7, and a drone strike damaging a non-fuel-containing building at the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage facility, remain consistent.
