Ukraine has officially revealed its long-rumored long-range Neptune cruise missile, a weapon capable of striking targets up to 1,000 kilometers away. The missile—unofficially dubbed the “Long Neptune”—was shown publicly for the first time in a government video released on Independence Day.

A Russian Shahed factory in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone in Tatarstan has been recruiting young women from dozens of low-income countries with promises of high salaries, education, and career opportunities—without disclosing that many would end up assembling drones later used in strikes on Ukraine.
