Ukraine downs 247 Russian missiles/drones; 25 sites hit overnight

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claims Russia intends to deploy ballistic missiles in Belarus to target western Ukraine, and has already established drone relay infrastructure there. While the missile deployment remains unverified, the reported drone relay activity suggests Russia is leveraging Belarusian territory to extend its strike capabilities. This represents a potential expansion of the conflict into Belarusian territory and a new vector for Russian aerial attacks.
