Russian drones kill three in Ukraine, cut power to over a million
Authorities said repair crews restored electricity to many affected areas, but some areas may face blackouts for at least 24 hours as drone attacks continued, damaging trucks and buildings.
Kyiv, Ukraine is set to launch an experimental project to transport donor organs using drones, according to the country's Health Ministry. This innovative approach aims to speed up the delivery of critical organs, which can only be preserved for a limited time, typically within several hours.
Ukraine, known for its advanced drone technology, manufactures thousands of drones monthly, ranging from military-grade devices for its conflict with Russia to smaller, personal use models. The Ministry of Health has announced that the Heart Institute will lead this initiative, deploying specialized drones capable of covering up to 700 kilometers (430 miles) in a single flight.
The drones are expected to significantly improve the efficiency of organ transplants by reducing the time required to transport organs from donor sites to transplant facilities. This technology could prove invaluable in regions under threat, where traditional logistics face challenges due to ongoing conflicts.
