On June 9, Ukrainian SOF, with other Defense Forces, struck Russia's "Savasleyka" airfield in Nizhny Novgorod. The site is used for attacks on Ukraine, including MiG-31K fighters with "Kinzhal" missiles. Preliminary reports suggest two Russian aircraft - likely MiG-31 and Su-30/34 - were hit.

China overnight published May trade data. Its direct exports to the US are down sharply (top left, black line), but its exports to all kinds of places in Asia are up massively.
