Ukrainian drone attack destroys helicopter at Russian airfield in Bryansk, media says
Ukrainian drones struck Bryansk International Airport in Russia overnight on June 6, destroying one combat helicopter and damaging another, according to Russian emergency officials cited by independent media outlet Astra. The attack was part of a broader Ukrainian operation targeting multiple Russian airfields and military facilities the same evening. According to Astra's sources within Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry, the attack destroyed a Mi-8 helicopter after its onboard munitions detonated. A second aircraft, a Mi-35 helicopter gunship, was also damaged, though the extent of the damage remains unclear. The strike reportedly caused additional destruction to airport infrastructure and rescue facilities, but no casualties were reported. Sources within Ukraine's special services confirmed to Astra that Bryansk airport was among the intended targets of the attack. The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims. The Mi-8 is a multipurpose utility aircraft used for troop transport, reconnaissance, and close air support. The Mi-35 is a heavily armed assault helicopter derived from the Soviet-era Mi-24, with dual capability for offensive operations and personnel transport. Both aircraft types are actively used by Russia in its war against Ukraine. Hours before Russia launched one of the largest aerial assaults of the war, Ukrainian forces hit strategic bomber bases at Engels and Dyagilevo, along with logistical hubs in Kursk Oblast, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported. At the Engels-2 air base in Saratov Oblast, located roughly 600 kilometers (370 miles) from Ukraine's front lines, Ukrainian strikes ignited fires at three fuel tanks, causing large-scale explosions. The Dyagilevo airfield in Ryazan Oblast, home to refueling tankers and fighter escorts for Russia's long-range bomber fleet, was also targeted. Fires and explosions were reported in the vicinity, and Russian air defenses were activated in the region. Ukraine's expanded drone campaign reflects a growing capacity to strike deep into Russian territory, as Kyiv continues to target the infrastructure Moscow uses to sustain its air war.

That operation alone caused over $7 billion in damage and marked a major escalation in Ukraine's ability to project force across the border, according to SBU. Russia responded to the latest round of Ukrainian strikes by unleashing 452 drones and 45 missiles against cities across Ukraine, killing at least five people and injuring 73 in one of the heaviest barrages of the full-scale invasion.

Why Trump's $3 billion wake-up call to higher ed is exactly what America needs
When President Donald Trump recently suggested taking $3 billion from Harvard's federal funding and redirecting it toward trade schools, he didn't just launch a headline, he launched a national reckoning. And as a university president, I believe he touched a nerve that desperately needed to be hit. For too long, higher education has drifted from its purpose. Elite institutions have grown wealthier and more disconnected, while everyday Americans shoulder massive student debt for degrees that no longer guarantee opportunity. The result? A broken pipeline, rising costs, shrinking returns, and students who feel forced to choose between meaning and mobility. But here's the truth few are willing to say out loud: not every student is called to a traditional university path. And that's not a problem to fix, it's a reality to embrace. In my role, I've seen firsthand the power of aligning education with calling. That includes aspiring teachers, ministers and entrepreneurs, but also electricians, HVAC technicians, mechanics and builders. I've met students who feel more alive on a construction site than in a lecture hall. And I've seen how learning construction technology can do more than build a career, it can restore confidence, dignity and purpose. This is personal for me. I lead a university, yes, but I also lead with the conviction that education should serve the whole person: spiritually, practically and vocationally. That's why I believe the future of higher ed must include the trades, not as a fallback, but as a foundation. Christian tradition understands this well. Jesus worked with wood and nails before preaching in synagogues. Paul made tents to support his ministry. Scripture doesn't draw a line between spiritual work and skilled labor. It lifts both as sacred. As Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 4:11, "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life… and to work with your hands." What we need now is a cultural reset. One that stops looking down on trades and starts investing in them, not just with funding, but with respect. That means parents affirming their child's calling, even if it leads to a job site instead of a boardroom. It means pastors reminding their congregations that all honest work is sacred. And it means more universities embracing flexible, high-quality training that equips students for lives of both character and competence. The goal isn't to pit trade schools against traditional universities. It's to restore balance. Because the future of our country won't be built from ivory towers. It will be built from the ground up, by people with tools in their hands and purpose in their hearts. We need welders with wisdom. Carpenters with character. Lineworkers with leadership. And institutions with the courage to say so. This isn't just good politics. It's the path to national renewal.
