1. The United States has carried out a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, in an operation codenamed “Midnight Hammar” – using one of the largest bombs in American military history. A fleet of seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers played a central role in the strike. The aircraft are the only ones capable of carrying the GBU-57, a 13-ton bunker-busting bomb designed to destroy hardened underground facilities. It was the first time for the weapon to be used in combat.
2. Israeli military officials say Iran has fired multiple missiles toward their country. This is believed to be Tehran’s first military response since the United States struck three Iranian nuclear sites early Sunday local time.
3. Ukraine is planning to strengthen its air defense capabilities by accelerating the development and production of drones designed to intercept Russian drones.
