Germany announced a $1.46 billion aid package for Ukraine, including interceptor drones and air defense missiles, bolstering Kyiv's air defenses amid ongoing Russian strikes. Ukrainian drones reportedly hit Russian Su-35 and Su-34 jets at an airfield in Adygea, while Russia targeted Kyiv bridges for a fourth consecutive day, hitting the Northern Bridge.
