❗️The U.S. did not provide Ukraine with any intelligence for the planning of Operation “Pavutyna” targeting Russian military sites, CBS News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs reports.

All intel was gathered independently by Ukraine—Zelensky was not briefed by U.S. officials.

Video footage shows an overview of Russia’s Belaya Air Base in Irkutsk region. The timing of the recording—during or after the reported strike—remains unclear.

Many strategic bombers appear intact, though heavy smoke obscures parts of the base, possibly hiding damaged or destroyed aircraft.

An air raid alert has been activated at military facilities in occupied Sevastopol. Russian monitoring channels report anticipation of incoming Ukrainian UAVs.
