Ukraine strikes Russian drone factory in Rostov region

Ukrainian forces attacked a production and storage facility of Russian drone manufacturer Roboavia in the Rostov region near the village of Lenina on Friday, according to Ukraine's General Staff. No damage assessment was provided. Roboavia produces Sarych reconnaissance drones and Klin attack drones, and belongs to Russia's "Era" military innovation complex under the Defense Ministry. Separately, Ukraine accused Russian soldiers of killing two prisoners of war near Huliaipole, citing intercepted radio communications. Romania shot down two drones over the Black Sea after they illegally entered its airspace, while Slovakia and Hungary refused to participate in a potential additional EU loan for Ukraine. Moscow airports experienced major flight disruptions due to drone threats, with over 350 flights affected.
