Ukraine says its drones struck Russian plane, missile plants
Kyiv: Ukraine said on Friday its drones struck a Russian fighter aircraft plant in the Moscow region and a missile production facility in the Tula region, causing explosions and fires at both.
Ukraine's military said on Telegram the aviation facility in the town of Lukhovitsy, about 135 km southeast of Moscow, produced MiG fighters. The other site was the Instrument Design Bureau, which specialised in producing anti-aircraft missiles and missile-gun systems, it said.
The Russian defence ministry said that 155 Ukrainian drones were downed between 11 p.m. on Thursday (2000 GMT) and 7 a.m. on Friday, including 11 bound for Moscow. Dmitry Milyaev, Tula regional governor, said on Telegram that one person was killed and another injured in a Ukrainian attack on the region, around 200 km south of Moscow. Reuters could not confirm the claims by either side.

Nigeria: Muhammadu Buhari, former military ruler and two-term president, dies at 82 after prolonged illness
Buhari, 82, who first led the country as a military ruler after a coup in the 1980s, earned a devoted following for his brand of anti-corruption conviction politics read more Nigeria's former President Muhammadu Buhari, who led Africa's most populous country from 2015-23 and was the first Nigerian president to oust an incumbent through the ballot box, died in London on Sunday, a presidential spokesperson said. 'President Buhari died today in London at about 4:30 p.m. (1530 GMT), following a prolonged illness,' President Bola Tinubu's spokesperson said in a post on X. Buhari, 82, who first led the country as a military ruler after a coup in the 1980s, earned a devoted following for his brand of anti-corruption conviction politics. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He referred to himself as a 'converted democrat' and swapped his military uniform for kaftans and prayer caps. 'I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody,' was a constant refrain Buhari told supporters and critics alike. Buhari defeated Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 in what was judged to be Nigeria's fairest election to date. Many hoped the retired major general would crack down on armed groups, just as he had as the country's military head of state. Instead, violence that had mostly been confined to the northeast spread. That left swathes of Nigeria outside the control of its stretched security forces as gunmen in the northwest, armed separatists and gangs in the southeast roamed unchecked. Much of his appeal lay in the anti-corruption ethos that was a central plank of his agenda both as a military and civilian ruler. He said endemic corruption in Nigeria's political culture was holding people back. 'Baba Go Slow' But Buhari quickly disappointed after his 2015 win. He took six months to name his cabinet. During that time, the oil-dependent economy was hobbled by low crude prices, prompting people to call him 'Baba Go Slow'. His second victory in 2019 came despite his first term being blighted by Nigeria's first recession in a generation, militant attacks on oilfields, and repeated hospital stays. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Born on December 17, 1942, in Daura in the northwestern state of Katsina state, Buhari enrolled in the army at 19. He would eventually rise to the rank of major-general. He seized power in 1983 as a military ruler, promising to revitalise a mismanaged country. Buhari took a tough line on everything from the conditions sought by the International Monetary Fund to unruliness in bus queues. In 1984, his administration attempted to kidnap a former minister and vocal critic living in Britain. The plot failed when London airport officials opened the crate containing the abducted politician. His first stint in power was short-lived. He was removed after only 18 months by another military officer, Ibrahim Babangida. Buhari spent much of the following 30 years in fringe political parties and trying to run for president until his eventual victory over Jonathan in 2015.

NATO chief Rutte to meet Trump over US arms plan for Ukraine
The Rutte visit comes after Trump hinted last week that he would make a 'major statement' on Russia on Monday, and as Ukraine tries to withstand enormous and complicated air attacks launched by Russian forces read more NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump this week, following the US president's announcement of plans to sell NATO allies weapons, which would subsequently be passed on to Ukraine. NATO said on Sunday that Rutte will visit Washington on Monday and Tuesday, meeting with Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and members of Congress. The White House did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the visit. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a close supporter of Trump, warned Sunday that the conflict is approaching an inflection point as Trump expresses an increasing interest in assisting Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. It's a cause that Trump has rejected as a waste of US taxpayer money, despite his campaign promise to stop the war as soon as possible. 'In the coming days, you'll see weapons flowing at a record level to help Ukraine defend themselves,' Graham said on CBS' 'Face the Nation.' He went on to say, 'One of the biggest miscalculations Putin has made is to play Trump. And you just watch, in the coming days and weeks, there's going to be a massive effort to get Putin to the table.' The Rutte visit comes after Trump hinted last week that he would make a 'major statement' on Russia on Monday, and as Ukraine tries to withstand enormous and complicated air attacks launched by Russian forces. Graham and Democrat Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, who appeared with South Carolina lawmaker on CBS, said there is also growing consensus on Capitol Hill and among European officials about tapping some of the $300 billion in Russian assets frozen by Group of Seven countries early in the war to help Ukraine. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It's time to do it,' Blumenthal said. Rubio said Friday that some of the US-made weapons that Ukraine is seeking are deployed with NATO allies in Europe. Those weapons could be transferred to Ukraine, with European countries buying replacements from the US, he said. 'It's a lot faster to move something, for example, from Germany to Ukraine than it is to order it from a (US) factory and get it there,' Rubio told reporters last week during visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu in an interview published Sunday in La Tribune Dimanche said that European officials have been making the case to the Trump administration to bolster air defense capabilities with any coming packages. He added that France is in a 'capacity hole' and will have to wait until next year before being able to provide Ukraine new ground-air missiles. Trump is also facing calls from Republicans and Democrats as well as European allies to support legislation in the Senate that aims to cripple Russia's oil industry and hit Moscow with US sanctions for its ongoing invasion of Ukraine. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The legislation, in part, calls for a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries that continue to buy Russian oil, gas, uranium and other exports. It would have an enormous impact on the economies of Brazil, China and India, which account for the vast majority of Russia's energy trade. 'The big offender here is China, India and Brazil,' Graham said. 'My goal is to end this war. And the only way you are going to end this war is to get people who prop up Putin— make them choose between the American economy and helping Putin.' That revenue is critical in helping keep the Russian war machine humming as the US and Europe have imposed significant import and export bans on a wide range of goods to and from Russia, affecting sectors like finance, energy, transport, technology, and defense. Trump for months had threatened, but held off on, imposing new sanctions against Russia's oil industry. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But the Republican leader has become increasingly exasperated with Putin in recent days and has laid into the Russian leader for prolonging the war. 'We get a lot of bull—- thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth,' Trump said last week in an exchange with reporters. 'He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.' Congress has been prepared to act on the legislation, sponsored by Graham and Blumenthal, for some time. The bill has overwhelming support in the Senate, but Republican leadership has been waiting for Trump to give the green light before moving ahead with it. The White House had expressed some reservations about the legislation. Trump made clear he wants full authority over the waiver process to lift the sanctions, tariffs or other penalties, without having to cede control to Congress. Under the initial bill, the president 'may terminate' the penalties under certain circumstances, but immediately reimpose them if the violations resume. Graham has said the president would be allowed to waive the sanctions, for 180 days, and could also renew a waiver. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some Democratic lawmakers have expressed concerns about the waivers. But Blumenthal downplayed the differences and said the legislation would give Trump a 'sledgehammer' to utilize on Putin. 'The waiver language we will have in this bill is very much like the provisions have existed in past similar measures,' Blumenthal said. He added: 'What I think is most important right now is our unity.'
