Ukraine-Russia Drone War: Ukraine launched one of its largest aerial attacks, sending hundreds of drones that killed at least six and sparked fires at a Wildberries warehouse near Moscow, while Russia said it intercepted 822 drones overnight across multiple regions including the Moscow area. Deep-Strike Targets: The attacks also hit Russian infrastructure tied to missile and space production, with reports pointing to strikes near Rostov and the Samara space/rocket ecosystem. Missile Race: Ukraine’s ex-defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov says Kyiv could field domestically made ballistic missiles within 3–6 months, aiming to shift the fight toward harder-to-intercept weapons. Tech & Sanctions Pressure: China imposed sanctions on two Polish high-tech entities linked to defense and satellite research, escalating the tech-control tug-of-war around EU Russia sanctions. Open-Source vs US Tech: A German state digitisation push is moving civil servants from US software to open-source tools and even toward Linux, reflecting growing allied fears of tech leverage. US-South Korea Drills: Trump ordered “substantial” reductions to joint exercises with South Korea, a move analysts link to North Korea’s evolving battlefield posture and broader alliance strain. Russia-NATO Drone Threat: A report claims Russia has built secret drone launch bases near NATO borders, raising fears of future provocation and attacks on critical infrastructure.
