Ukrainian Strike Targets Key Russian Missile Facility in Deep-Range Operation

    An employee controls an unmanned ground vehicle during an exhibition of Ukrainian drone makers, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in an undisclosed location Ukraine says it carried out a long‑range strike against a major Russian ballistic missile production site, marking one of Kyiv’s deepest attacks inside Russian territory since the full‑scale invasion began. According to Ukrainian security officials, the operation targeted a facility involved in manufacturing components for Russia’s Iskander missile systems—munitions frequently used against Ukrainian cities. While Moscow has not confirmed the strike, Russian regional authorities reported explosions and a subsequent fire at an industrial site. Kyiv has increasingly relied on domestically produced long‑range drones and missiles as Western military aid faces delays, and Ukrainian officials framed the attack as part of a broader effort to degrade Russia’s ability to wage war.

Iran Fires Air Defenses at Isfahan Base and Nuclear Site After Drones Spotted



In a dramatic turn of events, Iran’s air defenses were activated early Friday morning near the central city of Isfahan. The reason? Suspected Israeli attack drones were spotted in the vicinity of a major air base and a nuclear site. The incident comes as a retaliation for Tehran’s unprecedented drone-and-missile assault on Israel.

While no Iranian official directly acknowledged the possibility of an Israeli attack, tensions have been running high since the Saturday assault on Israel during its conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israel has also been targeting Iran in Syria, further escalating the situation.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani revealed that the U.S. received “last-minute” information from Israel about the attack on Isfahan. However, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken clarified that the U.S. was not involved in any offensive operations.

The apparent attack coincided with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s 85th birthday. Israeli politicians have hinted at their country’s involvement in the incident, but the Israeli military has remained silent on the matter.

Air defense batteries were activated in several provinces as reports of drones circulated. Iranian army commander Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi confirmed that crews targeted several flying objects. Fortunately, the explosion in the sky of Isfahan caused no damage.

The Isfahan air base, which houses Iran’s fleet of American-made F-14 Tomcats, was one of the targets. Additionally, the nuclear site near Isfahan, known as the Uranium Conversion Facility, was also under scrutiny. This facility handles fuel production and other activities related to Iran’s civilian nuclear program.

As tensions continue to simmer, the situation remains precarious. The world watches closely, hoping for a de-escalation of hostilities between Iran and Israel.
