Since Russian forces launched their full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, drones have become an increasingly prominent weapon used by Russia.

The widow of the Russian human rights campaigner Alexei Navalny says new scientific evidence proves that her husband was poisoned.

And it's been a year since Israel's deadly “pagers attack” in Lebanon, when thousands of devices exploded simultaneously, killing dozens and injuring thousands.
