Buffalo Wild Wings worker made high schooler ‘prove' she's a girl, activists say
An 18-year-old high schooler was forced by a Buffalo Wild Wings worker to 'prove' she is a girl inside the women's restroom of the Minnesota restaurant, according to a non-profit. Gender Justice, a nonprofit organization that focuses on gender equity law, has now filed a discrimination charge with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights on behalf of Gerika Mudra. 'What happened to Gerika Mudra was not just wrong, it was unlawful,' Sara Jan Baldwin, senior staff attorney at Gender Justice, said in a statement. Mudra was at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Owatonna on Easter when she was followed into the restroom by a server, according to Gender Justice. The employee banged on her stall door and told Mudra she had to 'prove' she was a girl. The nonprofit said the worker blocked the exit and made Mudra unzip her hoodie to show she had breasts. Mudra complied in an encounter that left her mortified. Mudra is not transgender but said the incident is not the first encounter she has had over her gender. This one, however, was the worst, she said. 'She made me feel very uncomfortable,' Mudra said. 'After that, I just don't like going in public bathrooms. I just hold it in.' McClatchy News reached out to Buffalo Wild Wings on Aug. 13 and was awaiting a response. Shauna Otterness, Mudra's stepmother, said in a news release she believes her stepdaughter was 'targeted because of how she looks.' But in Minnesota, it is illegal for public accomodations to discriminate on the basis of 'gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, sex, or race.' Megan Peterson, executive director at Gender Justice, said the incident involving Mudra is 'nothing new.' 'And yet, in our current climate we have to ask: What if Gerika had been a trans person?' Peterson said. 'Would this story have ended differently? That's the terrifying reality too many trans people live with every day.' Gender Justice said Mudra's experience from Buffalo Wild Wings is one that transgender and gender-nonconforming people deal with often. 'I want people to know they're not alone. They're not the only people this happens to,' Mudra said. 'It's OK to stick up for yourselves and be who you are.

Ukraine studied drug cartels to learn how to sneak drones into Russia for its 'Operation Spiderweb' attack
The architects behind Ukraine's audacious "Operation Spiderweb" attack studied drug cartels to plan how to smuggle drones into Russia, Kyiv's security service chief said. Vasyl Malyuk, head of Ukraine's internal security service and widely hailed as a driving force in the June attack, said in an interview aired on Tuesday that his team leveraged its experience battling international crime for the complex strike. "Operation Spiderweb" involved Ukraine sneaking hundreds of military quadcopters deep behind Russian lines, transporting the drones via wooden house-like structures mounted on trucks. These trucks were brought to four airbases, where the drones were then launched to wreak destruction on strategic bombers and early warning and control planes there. "Speaking of logistics," Malyuk told Ukrainian TV channel My-Ukrainia, "I should note that we drew on our experience in fighting transnational crime, when we studied in detail how international drug cartels secretly deliver various prohibited substances to different corners of the world without detection by customs and border authorities." The security service head alluded to an earlier covert attack that Ukraine carried out in October 2022, when its forces severely damaged a Russian-controlled bridge in Crimea with a truck filled with explosives. "If you read between the lines and look at it professionally, I think many have noticed certain parallels between the first strike on the Crimea bridge," Malyuk said. He said that in both situations, Ukraine didn't employ smugglers but relied on customs officials in Russia. "Who are, by their nature, very corrupt," Malyuk said. "At a certain stage, they actually played to our advantage in delivering the cabins I mentioned." A fake company with drivers in the dark Malyuk said that Ukraine, through its agents in Russia, created a logistics company that purchased five vehicles and rented warehouse space for the operation. One of these warehouses was even in the same city block as Russia's Federal Security Service headquarters in the Chelyabinsk region, the security service chief said. Malyuk added that the shell logistics company hired Russian citizens as truck drivers, sending them on multiple regular delivery jobs to avoid suspicion before springing the attack. The security service chief said these drivers were only told to deliver the cabins near the airbases, whereupon a customer was meant to arrive and pay for them. The drivers themselves were left in the dark, Malyuk added. The security chief said that when one of the drivers inadvertently saw the drones inside one cabin, Ukrainian agents told him the systems were hunting tools for observing animals. "In reality, they committed no illegal acts, and there was no intent in their actions," Malyuk said. The SBU chief also said that his team wanted to launch the attack in May but hit several delays, including the drivers getting drunk during the Easter holiday season. According to Malyuk, each truck-mounted cabin included solar panels and a battery to keep the drones charged and ready for deployment in cold weather; the quadcopters were launched in temperatures as low as 104 degrees Fahrenheit. "But at the same time, it created additional difficulties in bringing these cabins into the territory of the Russian Federation, because these types of goods simply can't be taken there, since Russia is under sanctions," Malyuk. The security service chief declined to share further details about the smuggling process, but said his team went "through seven circles of hell." He added that Ukraine had designed attack drones specifically for "Operation Spiderweb" and that each could carry a payload of 1.6 kg. Ukrainian officials have said that the attack hit about a third of Russia's strategic bomber capacity, inflicting damage on roughly $7 billion worth of equipment. Since the attack, satellite images show that Russia has begun constructing hardened shelters for its bombers. Ukraine has, in recent months, simultaneously stepped up long-range drone assaults via fixed-wing uncrewed systems.
