Sweden's navy vessel jammed the drone 13km from France's flagship, the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, while it was in the Oresund stretch of water, between Denmark and Sweden. French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot told journalists that if Russian involvement was confirmed, the only conclusion would be that it would be a ridiculous provocation.
Ukrainian special forces have struck deep into Russian-controlled territory, targeting ammo depots, logistics hubs, and command posts, the SBU said yesterday. The Alpha Special Operations Center carried out precision raids on key enemy military infrastructure, crippling the invaders' ability to manage troops, resupply, and plan new attacks. "These strikes hit the enemy where it hurts most," the SBU said on Telegram. "We are disrupting their operations and slowing down their war machine."
Russia often mixes up how it attacks Ukraine with ballistic and cruise missiles - from firing decoys to tweaking trajectories midflight - and Kyiv says it's funneling that battlefield intel to US Patriot interceptor makers to inform upgrades for better performance. "They are trying to use different tactics and make some adjustments for their ballistic missiles," Yehor Cherniev, the deputy chairman of the Ukrainian parliamentary committee on national security, defense, and intelligence, said of the Russian strikes.
The SBU says the enemy has ramped up these operations, using phones, messaging apps, and even online dating platforms to trick people into carrying out dangerous acts. The SBU said, "During such operations, Russian agents telephone or message people, posing as employees of the SBU, the Main Intelligence Directorate, NABU, the National Police, and other law enforcement agencies." "The Security Service of Ukraine once again calls on citizens to maintain information hygiene and to exercise caution in contacts with unknown individuals," the SBU added.
