Ukraine’s security focus: SBU-linked raids target Russian energy and naval targets; Kyiv touts strikes as part of its war effort. Background: Ukraine’s main internal security service (SBU) since 1991.
A Shahed drone has struck a fuel‑reception building near the decommissioned Chornobyl plant on 7 June 2026, causing significant structural damage and a localized fire that was extinguished. Ukraine and the IAEA have said no spike in radiation has been detected and no spent fuel was stored in the damaged building. The IAEA is preparing a site inspection.
Ukrainian forces have struck multiple military and energy sites across Russia, including a drone-component factory in Cheboksary and a refinery in Samara, according to Zelenskyy and regional officials. Russia reports air defenses downing hundreds of Ukrainian drones as both sides escalate long-range action.
