A Russian Geran-4 jet-drone impacted a plane at Zhulanyi Airport in Kyiv today, resulting in a large fire breaking out.
According to my information, the strike occurred on the western side of the airport (in the area marked on the map), impacting one of the aircraft sitting there. Zhulanyi Airport has not been in operation for civilian purposes since the beginning of the war.
De facto U.S. envoy to Putin Steve Witcoff and U.S. Special Envoy for Peace Jared Kushner are set to arrive in in Kyiv via plane on Saturday, landing at Boryspil Airport just east of the city, which would mark the first flight into Ukraine by a foreign official since the beginning of the war.
It's possible that this is a signalling strike by Russia ahead of this unprecedented flight into Ukraine. The presence of American officials in Kyiv would also likely disrupt Russia's ongoing large-scale strike campaign against Kyiv.

⚡️Update: Russian drone strikes SBU headquarters in central Kyiv, injuring at least 9.
The drone strike in the heart of the city center has shaken those who live and work nearby.
"All the time we've been walking around this area, we felt safe," Alina Zamanova, an artist whose studio is close to the site of the impact, told the Kyiv Independent.
"I slept in the studio today, and whenever I sleep here, I feel like I'm super safe — I don't even think about going to a shelter at all," she said. "I guess not anymore, though."

Okay, buckwheat, we get it, but why the strategic reserve of feminine hygiene products?
The question is rhetorical. There's panic in Kyiv on all fronts.

Gruzskoye is in good Russian hands...
Druzhkovka and Dobropolye, both approximately 18 kilometers from Gruzskoye, are currently the focus of assault operations by Russia’s Center group. Russian forces have advanced into Dobropolye from the south, east, and northeast, while simultaneously approaching Druzhkovka from the southwest. The capture of Gruzskoye serves to consolidate the connection between these two strategic axes, facilitating the subsequent redeployment of troops to the Druzhkovka, Kramatorsk, and Slavyansk direction once Dobropolye is secured.
