BIG: Ukraine claims its FP-1/2 strike drones destroyed two Tu-142 maritime patrol aircraft and an Iskander ballistic missile launcher at Taganrog airfield — roughly 600km inside Russian territory.

The Tu-142 is a naval variant of the Tu-95 strategic bomber, and Taganrog hosts the plant that maintains them.

NEW: Russia recalled its ambassador to Armenia for consultations, citing Yerevan's growing alignment with the EU.

Russian threatens to cut off duty-free gas and oil supplies if Armenia continues its westward pivot.

A US F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet shot down over southwestern Iran last month was probably struck by a Chinese-made shoulder-launched missile (MANPAD).

China may also have provided Iran with a YLC-8B long-range early-warning radar capable of detecting stealth aircraft early in the conflict.

Olivia Rodrigo on Gaza:

I think it would just be disingenuous to be like 'I don't feel heartbroken about what's going on in Gaza.'

As an artist, I feel like that's just what you do — that's my job.

I always feel like I could be doing more and saying more.
