Right now the map shows drone and missile strikes hitting shipping, energy sites and civilian areas in three different wars. An Iranian attack struck a US-contracted vessel near the Strait of Hormuz — the data says no casualties, but the report notes crew were hurt. Ukrainian drones hit two Rosneft refineries in Saratov and Syzran, shutting both down. In Ukraine, a Russian rocket-powered drone killed one person in Odesa, and another drone injured a 93-year-old woman at a bus stop in Zelenivka. In Sudan, Rapid Support Forces drones hit four fuel stations in Ad Damazin, killing five civilians. On the front line, Russia says it stopped a Ukrainian breakout near Gogino with 1,300 casualties claimed. Belarus turned its signal repeaters back on to guide Russian drones deeper into western Ukraine. Border guards in Ukraine dodged a drone thanks to a handheld detector. And in Russia, an insurer started paying out 50,000 Ozon sellers for drone-damaged goods.
