We're tracking three separate fronts today. In Ukraine, Russia hit three sites in one day — a drone command post in Prudyanka, an ammo factory near Kiev, and a drone plant in Dnipro. No one was hurt. In the Middle East, Israeli fire wounded three people in Gaza, one of them a child, and a separate strike in southern Lebanon killed a woman and injured nine. And in the Gulf, the US destroyed three Iranian oil tankers near Kharg Island after saying Iranian forces fired ballistic missiles at American warships. Four different outlets confirmed the tanker strikes. No casualties reported there either. That's the picture as of this afternoon.
Russian strikes across Ukraine
Russian forces hit three Ukrainian facilities in a single day. A guided missile destroyed a UAV command center belonging to the 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade in Prudyanka, in the Kharkov region. Around the same time, long-range drones struck the Black Ammo industrial plant in Borispol, near Kiev. Earlier, Russian forces also struck a drone production plant in Dnipro, causing a major fire. No casualties were reported in any of the three attacks.
Israeli fire in Gaza and Lebanon
Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians in Gaza, wounding three people including a child. The incident was described as a ceasefire violation. Hours later, an Israeli airstrike hit a populated area in Maifadoun, southern Lebanon, killing a young woman and injuring nine others. Both incidents were reported by Anadolu Agency.
US strikes Iranian tankers near Kharg Island
US forces destroyed three Iranian oil tankers near Kharg Island and the port of Jask. Multiple outlets, including Times of Israel, Al-Monitor, RFI Chinese and BBC World, reported the strikes. US Central Command said the action came after Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted American warships with ballistic missiles. No casualties were reported from the tanker strikes.
