  "summary": "Russia has completed construction of a new drone attack base in the Rostov Region, near the border with Ukraine, in just six weeks, according to satellite images analyzed by Reuters. The facility, located near the town of Millerovo, covers an area roughly equivalent to 126 soccer fields and comprises eight launch positions and 32 areas for preparing drones for takeoff. The base is believed to be intended for Russia's newest jet-powered attack UAVs, the Geran-4 and Geran-5. This rapid construction comes amid Russia's increased use of jet-powered strike drones in recent weeks, which have proven challenging for Ukrainian forces to defend against.",
