news.yahoo.co.jp (Japanese) —

Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on Moscow, forcing all airports in the Russian capital to temporarily close. The attack caused approximately 200 civilian flights to be canceled or delayed. The US magazine The Atlantic reported that Ukrainian military officials plan to intensify operations to paralyze Russian airports. A plan called "M&Ms" reportedly involves AI-equipped small drones to evade air defenses and directly strike airport facilities. Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Russia has nearly completed a new launch base for jet-powered drones near the Ukrainian border, capable of launching over 100 drones daily. Ukraine's interception capabilities face concerns due to Starlink speed restrictions imposed on its drones.
