Ukraine said 116 Russian vessels were attacked in the Sea of Azov over nine days, including 11 damaged overnight — five oil tankers, five cargo ships and one tug.

SpaceX has successfully deployed a new batch of 27 Starlink satellites and plans to conduct the 13th integrated test flight of its heavy-duty upgraded Starship V3 this week. This marks a significant leap forward in the development of global commercial space infrastructure, moving from "narrowband fine-tuning" to a radical new phase of "ultra-heavy-payload laser networking." Previously, Starlink satellites relied primarily on the Falcon 9 for routine deployment. The core value of Starship V3 lies in its greater payload capacity and more efficient batch delivery. If subsequent key verifications such as orbital deployment, interstage separation, engine re-ignition, and controlled recovery are successfully completed, Starship will gradually transform from a high-frequency experimental platform into a truly commercial transportation tool, significantly improving satellite networking efficiency, reducing unit launch costs, and redefining the competitive threshold of the global aerospace industry. In the longer term, the new generation of Starlink satellites, through high-capacity laser interconnection, is building a global low-Earth orbit communication network. Satellite internet not only serves applications such as direct mobile phone connectivity and global communication but is also becoming a crucial physical foundation for future space computing, AI infrastructure, and defense communication systems. If this model continues to advance, the value focus of the global commercial space industry chain may gradually shift from traditional rocket manufacturing to orbital networks, advanced materials, satellite manufacturing, and the space computing ecosystem. The market's focus is not just on the success of this test flight, but more importantly, on whether SpaceX is forming an integrated infrastructure closed loop encompassing "rocket-satellite-communication-computing power." As Starlink density continues to increase, satellite internet, as the underlying carrier of next-generation global ubiquitous communication and space computing power, is seeing its commercial assetization accelerate.

Putin vowed to take stronger, increasingly forceful responses to attacks on Ukraine.
