PepsiCo Facility Hit in Russian Strike; Ukraine Reports Surge in Factory-Made Drones

A PepsiCo production facility in Ukraine has sustained damage following a Russian strike, the company confirmed. The extent of the damage and any potential impact on operations or personnel were not immediately detailed, but the incident underscores the widening reach of the conflict.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials report a significant increase in the deployment of Russian Shahed drones, noting that these unmanned aerial vehicles are now being launched directly from manufacturing facilities.
