A Ukrainian drone strike hit a Russian industrial plant in Izhevsk, killing three and injuring 35. The plant produces air defense systems and drones. This follows a record month of Russian drone attacks on Ukraine (5,438), prompting President Zelenskyy to prioritize Ukrainian drone production, particularly long-range strike drones. Both sides are escalating drone warfare, while peace talks remain stalled. The US criticized Russia's continued attacks on civilians, while Europe's military aid to Ukraine recently surpassed that of the US.
