Ukraine war briefing: Satellite pictures show Russian warplanes prey to ‘Spiderweb'
Satellite pictures of a Russian airbase taken shortly after Ukraine carried out a deep strike with drones show strategic bombers destroyed or badly damaged. Ukraine targeted at least four airbases across Russia using 117 unmanned aerial vehicles launched from containers close to the targets in Operation Spiderweb. Capella Space, a satellite company, supplied Reuters with images of one of those airfields, located in the Siberian region of Irkutsk, taken on 2 June, the day after the operation. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) pictures appear to show the debris of several aircraft located along the runway of the Belaya military airbase or parked in protective revetments nearby. John Ford, a research associate at the California-based James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, said they showed what appeared to be the remnants of two destroyed Tu-22 Backfires – long-range, supersonic strategic bombers that have been used to launch missile strikes against Ukraine. The SAR image, as well as drone footage of the strikes posted on social media, also indicated that four strategic heavy Tu-95 bombers had been destroyed or severely damaged, he added. Brady Africk, an open source intelligence analyst, agreed that the SAR imagery of Irkutsk airbase showed several Tu-95s and Tu-22s had been destroyed and damaged, although more imagery was needed to properly assess the impact. 'But it is clear that the attack on this airbase was very successful,' he said. 'The aircraft targeted in the attack were a mix of Tu-22 and Tu-95 bombers, both of which Russia has used to launch strikes against Ukraine.' Africk added that Belaya airbase is home to several flat decoy aircraft, which he said had apparently failed to mislead Ukrainian drones. Ukraine on Tuesday detonated a massive underwater blast that 'severely damaged' the base of pylons holding up the illegally built Kerch Bridge, which connects the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula of Ukraine to Russia. The signature project of Vladimir Putin was hit with the equivalent of more than a metric tonne of TNT, said Kyiv's SBU security service, write Peter Beaumont and Artem Mazhulin. The Kerch Bridge is heavily protected and Ukraine's ability to place explosives directly on its underwater structure, coming after Operation Spiderweb, is the second grave embarrassment for Putin and Russian security services in three days. In October 2022 a truck exploded on the bridge, shutting it down, while in July 2023 the SBU said it had blown up part of the bridge using an experimental naval drone. Both times, Russia repaired the damaged sections. The bridge is regularly closed in security scares. Lt Gen Vasyl Maliuk, of the SBU, who supervised the latest operation, described it as 'an absolutely legitimate target, especially considering that the enemy used it as a logistical artery to supply its troops … Crimea is Ukraine, and any manifestations of occupation will receive our tough response.' A Russian attack killed at least four people and wounded 25 in the north-eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Tuesday, officials said. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, posted that the 'completely deliberate' strike on civilians was 'all you need to know about Russia's 'desire' to end this war'. Russia also fired rocket artillery at Chystovodivka village in the Kharkiv region, killing two people and injuring three others, said the regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov. The attacks came a day after direct peace talks in Istanbul made no progress on ending the fighting – and as Dmitry Medvedev, Putin's former prime minister and proxy president now on Russia's security council, strongly suggested there was no sincere effort from the Kremlin's side. 'The Istanbul talks are not for striking a compromise peace on someone else's delusional terms but for ensuring our swift victory and the complete destruction [of Ukraine's government],' he said. Zelenskyy's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, posted after meeting Trump envoy Keith Kellogg on Tuesday: '[Russia is] playing for time, manipulating the talks, trying to avoid US sanctions and not wanting a ceasefire.' The Ukrainian foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, said that at their latest talks in Istanbul 'the Russian side passed a set of old ultimatums that do not move the situation any closer to true peace'. Russia meanwhile ignored a request to comment on Ukraine's ceasefire proposals, he said. 'We demand Russia's reply. Each day of silence from them proves their wish to continue the war.' Britain pledged on Wednesday to supply 100,000 drones to Ukraine by April 2026. The £350m package is part of a broader £4.5bn military support initiative that the UK defence secretary, John Healey, will make at a 50-nation Ukraine defence contact group meeting in Brussels co-hosted with Germany. For the first time since the group was created, the US defence secretary – currently Pete Hegseth – will not be there when all the other defence ministers meet.

She boosted her frame with flip flop style heels and accessorised with gold hoop earrings, wearing her brunette hair in a low ponytail. Her daughter was wearing a sweet pale yellow two-piece. Meanwhile, former TOWIE star Mark was dressed in all black for their evening out, sporting a short-sleeved shirt with linen trousers. He completed the ensemble with black Birkenstock sandals and a chain necklace. The outing came as Michelle shared a rare sneak peek of her baby daughter Palma on Tuesday. She uploaded an adorable black and white photo of Palma's feet, she wrote: 'Yep... my toes.' Michelle and Mark have been enjoying their time as parents and have been sharing small glimpses of Palma on their social media accounts. It's believed the couple chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, which has been their go-to holiday destination for years and the setting for their pregnancy reveal photoshoot. Michelle married Mark in May 2015 and the couple live together in a £3.5 million Essex mansion they built from scratch. Chatting with his best friend and fellow dad Olly Murs on his Heart Breakfast show, TOWIE star Mark recalled the moment he first held his newborn daughter in his arms. Mark fought back emotions as he said: 'Mate, it's actually hard to put into words. 'It's the biggest achievement of my life it's all I think about but obviously, hats go off to my wife she is an absolute superhuman, a superhero for bringing this baby into the world.' Sharing his appreciation for Michelle, he added: 'It makes you realise what our mums did for us and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women had to go through. 'It's the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.' Recalling the first moment he held Palma, he continued: 'That moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional now thinking about it.' Meanwhile, former TOWIE star Mark was dressed in all black for their evening out, sporting a short-sleeved shirt with linen trousers Mark added: 'I suppose everything else goes out the window and its made me realise what life is all about and my little baby Palma I love you so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. 'It's a very special feeling. I can't really put it into words. We've waited a little bit of time, we've chased our dreams and our careers and now we're here. We've got a baby.' Before Cannes, Michelle showed her support for high street brands as she hit her local town on Wednesday to stock up on some family essentials. The new mum, who welcomed baby daughter Palma in March, teamed a pinstripe blue shirt with a pair of cream drawstring trousers and sandals. Michelle was joined by her mum Jacqueline as they stocked up at the Essex branch of Marks & Spencer before stopping by Boots. The actress juggled two huge bags as she had a low-key stroll around town, going unnoticed by fellow shoppers. It's no wonder Michelle is a fan of M&S, seeing as her husband Mark Wright is a brand ambassador for the British institution, which is still dealing with the aftermath of a massive cyber-attack.

Ukraine war: Underwater explosives strike bridge linking Russia to Crimea, Kyiv says
Ukraine says it struck the road and rail bridge linking Russia and Crimea with underwater explosives. A video of the explosion on Kerch Bridge was posted on Ukraine's security service (SBU) X account. The planned attack took "several months" of work and involved detonating 1,100kg of explosives overnight, which "severely damaged" the foundations of the bridge, according to the SBU. Russia is yet to respond but authorities say bridge crossings have restarted after it was closed for most of the day on Tuesday. Vladimir Putin opened the 12-mile bridge in 2018. It holds symbolic and strategic significance for Russia, which uses it to transport supplies and weapons to its forces in occupied Crimea. It is the third time Ukraine has hit the structure after attacks in 2022 and 2023. The latest incident comes days after Ukraine launched an audacious drone attack on air bases inside Russia over the weekend. Mr Zelenskyy said the attack on 40 bomber aircraft at multiple bases across Russia would "undoubtedly be in history books". 0:46 Drones were smuggled into the country and launched remotely off the back of trucks, security sources said. On Sunday, two railway bridges collapsed in Russia's Bryansk and Kursk regions. Russia blamed Ukraine, which has not commented.
