BBC and Sunday Times report AFU used UK-made drones (Callen-Lenz, Malloy) for deep strikes in Russia. Official UK govt admission remains unverified.

A wildfire that has burned for more than three weeks above Blaenavon remains uncontrolled, while the UK confirms its first use of domestically produced drones to strike targets inside Russia.

British-made drones have been used to strike targets within Russia for the first time, according to reports. The drones, developed by two separate UK companies, have successfully targeted military and industrial sites, including refineries and warehouses of Russian online retailer Wildberries. The strikes, initially reported by the Sunday Times, are estimated to have caused over £35bn in economic damage. A military source confirmed the use of UK drones, highlighting their more decisive impact compared to earlier Storm Shadow missiles. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously acknowledged the use of drones with UK components to attack Russian territory, including a fuel depot in the Rostov Region. The UK's Ministry of Defence has pledged to supply Ukraine with tens of thousands of drones, including long-range strike devices, as part of its ongoing support for the country. Moscow reported that approximately 600 Ukrainian drones were launched towards the city, with a third destroyed and three injuries reported. The attacks on Wildberries, a major Russian e-commerce platform, aim to disrupt supply chains for military equipment. This development underscores the escalating use of drone technology in modern conflicts and its significant economic and strategic implications.
