Russia claims it has unleashed two massive FAB-3000 glide bombs against Ukrainian military positions near Orekhov, with Moscow reporting direct hits on troop concentrations linked to a Ukrainian brigade. Russian reconnaissance reportedly identified the deployment sites before the bombs were released. However, Ukraine has not independently confirmed Russia’s claims. The FAB-3000 is among Russia’s heaviest aerial bombs, with origins dating back to the Soviet era. Moscow has increasingly equipped these massive gravity bombs with wings and guidance kits, transforming them into glide weapons capable of striking targets from greater distances. The shift allows Russian aircraft to attack fortified Ukrainian positions while limiting their exposure to Ukrainian air defence systems. WATCH

US President Donald Trump sparks attention with a crude joke about Republican Senator Jon Husted during a rally in Ohio. Trump says he took a closer look at Husted after learning about his college football career, delivering the line: “I looked at his ass.” The remark raises questions about presidential decorum and the boundaries of political humour. Husted played defensive back at the University of Dayton and was part of the 1989 Division III championship team. Trump also suggests that Husted's football background could help his standing with Ohio voters.
