Estonia trains children to operate drones in response to Russian threat

In Tallinn, students are training to operate drones at the Energy Discovery Center as part of their mandatory defense training. This exercise is aimed at enhancing their skills in response to the threat from Russia.

According to President Maia Sandu, Russian drones have struck Moldovan territory, with five Russian air attack weapons, including “Banderol” missiles and drones, involved.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Ukraine will intensify attacks on Russian oil refineries in retaliation for Moscow's intensified airstrikes. Zelensky claims Ukrainian intelligence has obtained documents proving that Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a new directive to carry out broader attacks on civilian targets. The Ukrainian counteroffensive, codenamed “Vivaldi”, has seen Ukrainian forces regain control of about 140 square kilometers in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
