All are receiving outpatient treatment." [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Premises belonging to an agricultural business caught fire as a result of a UAV strike on the Slovianka hromada in the Synelnykove district.
The Russians struck the Velykomykhailivka hromada with a guided bomb. Information on the aftermath is being confirmed.
The Russians attacked the Nikopol district with artillery and FPV drones. The city of Nikopol and Marhanet and Pokrovske hromadas came under Russian fire. A 47-year-old woman has been injured and hospitalised in a moderate condition.
Infrastructure facilities, two houses, an outbuilding and a power line were damaged in the Nikopol district.
Lysak added that air defenders had downed seven UAVs over Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Elon Musk's entourage forces drastic move from the government
When Elon Musk joined President Donald Trump's White House as the head of the non-governmental Department of Government Efficiency, he did not have to go through the same vetting process as other cabinet members. Presidential cabinet members must be vetted and confirmed by the U.S. Senate, but "special government employees" like Elon Musk and top economic advisor Peter Navarro do not. Related: Elon Musk and Donald Trump's war of words forces allies to pick side But those roles are also limited in their scope and what they can do for the president. Musk's time at the White House concluded earlier this month, probably permanently, after the 130 days a presidential advisor is allowed to work for the president in any calendar year expired. Since then, Musk has done his best to burn every connection he has to Trump and the White House, criticizing his main legislative agenda and even saying that the reason the White House hasn't released the government files on Jefferey Epstein, as was promised during the campaign, is because the president is featured in the report. Despite the unfettered access Musk and DOGE have to millions of Americans' personal data, he was never vetted. At least not by this administration. Image source: Smialowski/AFP via Getty Images Last year, as foreign nationals came to visit Elon Musk at his various properties, U.S. government agents monitored their movements. In 2022 and 2023, several government agencies, including the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, tracked foreign nationals who visited Musk in an investigation. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the feds were watching to see if the people visiting Musk from countries in Eastern Europe were trying to influence him. Of the five companies he runs, SpaceX has access to the most sensitive government data and contracts and has had unprecedented access to top government officials, according to the Journal. Related: Elon Musk's feud with Trump is hurting an unexpected investment People familiar with America PAC, the political action committee Musk started to help elect Trump, said they had to institute extensive vetting to keep foreigners in Musk's entourage out of their business. Musk has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022. His contact with foreign nationals has even forced his lawyers to advise him against seeking higher security clearance, according to the report, due to fear that he'd have to explain his relationships or have his clearance revoked entirely. Elon Musk became the first lieutenant to break ranks following his departure from the inner circle of the West Wing. Last month, Musk made it a point to wear a red hat emblazoned with the words "TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING" to a cabinet meeting. The gesture was part of the Trump administration's ritual of having the members say something effusive about the president at the beginning of each cabinet meeting. However, some distance from the White House seems to have changed Musk's mind about just how effective the president's policies have been in achieving what seems to be Musk's biggest political goal: balancing the budget. To get his way, Musk has gone full scorched earth, suggesting that the reason the federal government has not released its file on Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile who befriended some of the world's richest and most powerful people, is because President Trump is featured in the files. Elon Musk has been taking shots at the White House recently about the "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act" that Trump is currently trying to get through Congress. The bipartisan Congressional Budget Office expects the bill to add between $2.4 trillion and $3.8 trillion to the U.S. deficit over the next decade.

Harvard researcher charged with smuggling frog embryos faces detention hearing
BOSTON (AP) — A Russian-born scientist and Harvard University researcher charged with smuggling frog embryos into the United States faces a detention hearing in Massachusetts on Thursday. Kseniia Petrova, 30, has been in federal custody since February and is seeking to be released. Petrova was returning from a vacation in France, where she had stopped at a lab specializing in splicing superfine sections of frog embryos and obtained a package of samples for research. She was later questioned about the samples while passing through a U.S. Customs and Border Protection checkpoint at Boston Logan International Airport. She told The Associated Press in an interview in April that she did not realize the items needed to be declared and was not trying to sneak anything into the country. After an interrogation, Petrova was told her visa was being canceled. Petrova was briefly detained by immigration officials in Vermont, where she filed a petition seeking her release. She was later sent to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility facility in Louisiana. The Department of Homeland Security had said in a statement on the social media platform X that Petrova was detained after 'lying to federal officers about carrying substances into the country.' They allege that messages on her phone 'revealed she planned to smuggle the materials through customs without declaring them.' In May, Petrova was charged with smuggling in Massachusetts as a federal judge in Vermont set the hearing date on her petition. That judge later ruled that the immigration officers' actions were unlawful, that Petrova didn't present a danger, and that the embryos were nonliving, nonhazardous and 'posed a threat to no one.' The judge released Petrova from ICE custody, but she remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service on the smuggling charge. Colleagues and academics have testified on Petrova's behalf, saying she is doing valuable research to advance cures for cancer.

Russia reportedly redeploys bombers to Far East bases after Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb
Russia has redeployed dozens of long-range bombers to more remote bases within the country, Russian independent media outlet Agentstvo reported on June 11, citing OSINT analyst AviVector. The relocation comes in the wake of Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb, the unprecedented mass drone strike on June 1 that targeted four Russian air bases deep inside the country. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said 117 drones were launched from hidden positions across Russia, damaging 41 aircraft, including Tu-95, Tu-22M3, and Tu-160 bombers. According to Agentstvo, all Tu-160 bombers have been evacuated from Belaya airfield in Irkutsk Oblast and Olenya airfield in Murmansk Oblast. Some were relocated to Anadyr in Chukotka, Yelizovo in Kamchatka, and Borisoglebskoye in Tatarstan. Tu-22M3 and Tu-95MS bombers were also redeployed. Eleven Tu-22M3s and all Tu-95MS aircraft near Murmansk reportedly relocated to the Ukrainka airfield in Amur Oblast, Engels-2 in Saratov Oblast, Borisoglebskoye in Tatarstan, and Mozdok in North Ossetia. The reported relocation of bombers is the latest sign that Ukraine's drone warfare is forcing the Kremlin to rethink its strategic posture, even far from the front lines. Western analysts and military officials praised Ukraine's ingenuity in the Spiderweb operation. NATO Admiral Pierre Vandier called the mission a modern reinvention of the "Trojan Horse," demonstrating Ukraine's growing technical sophistication and deep-strike capability. President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that roughly half of the targeted aircraft are damaged beyond repair. Russia has acknowledged losses but insisted all damaged aircraft will be restored.
