British-made drones widen strikes into mainland Russia

British-made drones are reportedly used to strike targets in mainland Russia for the first time, hitting military facilities and industrial sites including refineries and Wildberries warehouses and causing extensive economic damage.

Ukraine strikes leave Putin’s Black Sea palace exposed, report says

Ukraine strikes leave Putin’s Black Sea palace exposed, report says

Ukraine says its Aug. 7 electronic-warfare strikes near Putin’s Black Sea retreat damaged a jamming system that protected the palace and, with nearby S-400 defenses reportedly hit by Aug. 9 strikes, left the Gelendzhik complex “unprotected,” according to The Times of Moscow. The 190,000-square-foot Cape Idokopas estate—with a casino, theater, hockey rink and more—has long been tied to the Russian president, though Moscow denies ownership. The report suggests the compound could face a follow-up attack.

US strikes Iran after drone attack shocks Strait of Hormuz shipping

The US said it struck Iranian missile and drone storage facilities and coastal radar positions in response to a drone attack on the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Ever Lovely in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a violation of a ceasefire. No casualties were reported. Iran’s IRGC blamed the US and Israel, and it’s unclear whether the strikes are isolated or part of a broader escalation as talks and shipping moves continue.

US Strikes Iran After Alleged Ceasefire Violations Escalate Tensions

U.S. forces conducted airstrikes on Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after President Trump accused Tehran of violating a 60-day ceasefire by launching drones at ships in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM said a one-way Iranian attack drone hit the Singapore-flagged Ever Lovely, though the vessel continued on, while Trump claimed three drones were downed. The strikes come amid ongoing diplomacy toward a permanent peace deal, including a memorandum with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and talks in Switzerland led by Vice President JD Vance.

US hits another suspected drug-boat in the Pacific, two killed

US hits another suspected drug-boat in the Pacific, two killed

The U.S. military released video of another strike on a boat suspected of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific, killing two men and marking the fifth such attack in about a week, with total fatalities in these operations at least 207 since the campaign began. The military says the strikes target known smuggling routes under orders from Gen. Francis L. Donovan, while critics question legality and the evidence linking the vessels to drug trafficking, noting that fentanyl largely enters the U.S. by land. The White House says the actions are self-defense, and a Pentagon inspector general review will examine the targeting process (the six-phase Joint Targeting Cycle), not the overall legality of the strikes.

U.S. strikes another drug-boat in Pacific as toll climbs beyond 200

The U.S. military conducted another strike on a drug-smuggling boat in the eastern Pacific, killing three and pushing the death toll to 202 in a week of attacks. Washington says the targets are narco-trafficking operations tied to designated terrorists, but rights groups warn the strikes amount to unlawful extrajudicial killings and the administration has provided no definitive evidence of trafficking. The operation followed a meeting between Gen. Donovan and Cuban military leaders near Guantánamo Bay, and the military released color footage of the strike.
