BERLIN – Russian provinces will henceforth be assigned a “dronification” score by the country’s Ministry of Industry and Trade in an effort to boost the development of unmanned aerial vehicles across all of Russia.

In the city of Kherson, in southern Ukraine, small drones routinely target ordinary people by dropping hand grenades, and record video documenting their attacks, a U.N. commission reported.

The toy is described in a listing as suitable for children from the age of six and "an ideal gift for young patriots."

Within hours of drones entering Poland, thousands of social media posts claimed they were Ukrainian, not Russian, and a “false flag” to pull NATO into the war.

President Vladimir Putin says Russia has conducted a successful test of a new atomic-powered and nuclear-capable underwater drone, declaring that the new weapon can’t be intercepted.

Ukraine has rolled out a video game-style rewards system for its drone pilots, giving them new weapons and upgrades for every successful kill against Russian invaders, according to a new report.

October is coming to an end and as winter approaches, many Ukrainians find themselves more vulnerable than ever in the face of mounting Russian air attacks. In Kyiv, Russian combined missile and drone attacks routinely result in mass casualty events.

Russian western city of Oryol is restricting supply of heat and hot water after Ukrainian drones hit a pipeline at a local power plant on Friday, local authorities said.
