In a daring escalation of its drone campaign, Ukraine launched a strike on the Kuzmino-Gat gunpowder factory in Tambov Oblast, a critical node in Russia's military-industrial complex. Russian authorities claimed their defenses intercepted 27 drones across multiple regions, but questions linger about the effectiveness of the attack.
Eyewitnesses in Kotovsk reported hearing drones overhead before the strike, with Ukrainian officials identifying the facility as a key producer of gunpowder for weapons and explosives. While Russia reported no casualties and only minor damage to a nearby house, the attack has raised concerns about vulnerabilities deep within its territory.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may press criminal charges against former military chief Valery Zaluzhny if he challenges him for the presidency in the upcoming election. Despite the ongoing conflict with Russia, Zelensky plans to run for re-election, capitalizing on his current 52% approval rating. Zaluzhny, currently Ukraine's ambassador to the UK and considered Zelensky's main rival, has not revealed any political ambitions. However, sources suggest Zelensky’s administration has offered Zaluzhny a prominent role in his party if he refrains from running. If Zaluzhny enters the race, he could face investigations, including one related to the fall of Kherson to Russian forces in 2022.
