A shocking video has surfaced showing a Russian kamikaze drone successfully destroying a US-supplied Stryker armored vehicle in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The drone, launched by a Russian reconnaissance team, intercepted the moving Stryker vehicle and targeted its vulnerable top hatch, causing a devastating strike. The destruction was confirmed through aerial surveillance footage. The Stryker, part of the US’s military aid to Ukraine, has been heavily used in Ukraine’s counteroffensive efforts, including the incursion into Russia's Kursk region. This precise drone strike highlights the increasing use of FPV drones in modern warfare, emphasizing their efficiency and targeting accuracy in real-time operations

Russian forces have captured the strategically important village of Storozheve in eastern Ukraine, marking a significant shift in the ongoing conflict. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the "liberation" of the village, which is located near the southern front line in the Donetsk region. This move is part of a broader Russian effort to encircle the nearby town of Velyka Novosilka, increasing pressure on Ukrainian forces already outgunned and outmanned. Military analysts suggest this capture may signal the beginning of a fresh Russian offensive in the region, with Moscow seeking to secure additional territorial gains ahead of potential shifts in international leadership. As the situation intensifies, Ukraine faces increasing challenges to hold its positions in the face of Russian advances.

The Ukrainian military has uncovered a secret plan involving North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. According to reports, thousands of North Koreans were deployed to Russia and given fake military identification documents, including Russian-style names and birthplaces, in an effort to conceal their presence. Despite the false details, the documents still revealed their true origin through Korean signatures. Ukrainian forces have killed several North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region, and estimates suggest that between 11,000 and 12,000 North Korean troops are currently stationed in Russia. Both Russia and North Korea have refused to publicly acknowledge the presence of North Korean soldiers, while Ukrainian officials claim Russia is trying to cover up their heavy losses. Reports also suggest that Russia has been using extreme measures to conceal the deaths of these soldiers, including burning bodies and quickly removing them from the battlefield.
