Massive Ukrainian drone assault hit Russia’s Smolensk, with one UAV intercepted near a nuclear plant
A wave of Ukrainian drone strikes targeted key Russian regions, including Smolensk, Bryansk, Tver, and Nizhny Novgorod.
A drone was intercepted near a nuclear power plant, sparking accusations of "nuclear terrorism." Russia claims over 3,500 UAV attacks on energy sites, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict.
The Iranian Army has integrated 1,000 advanced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into its Combat Organization, announced by Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari. These stealth, strategic drones, capable of flying over 2,000 kilometers, feature low Radar Cross Section (RCS) and long endurance for autonomous missions. They enhance surveillance, border control, and combat capabilities, particularly in targeting distant enemies. Additionally, Iran's military unveiled a new laser-powered air defense system, Seraj, during maneuvers near the Fordow uranium enrichment facility, strengthening the site's defense layers.

In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region.

The Trump administration has placed around 60 USAID officials on leave amid a sweeping foreign aid review. The move follows Trump’s executive order halting most foreign aid for 90 days, citing potential policy violations. Critics claim it suppresses dissent, as exemptions for Ukraine-related programs were reportedly denied. Secretary of State Marco Rubio exempted only emergency food aid and military support for Israel and Egypt. The decision has triggered program shutdowns and staff layoffs globally, intensifying scrutiny over US foreign aid policies.
