Ukraine says its drones struck Russian plane and missile plants
KYIV, July 11 (Reuters) - 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 (84 miles) 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. "Defence forces continue to take all steps to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian occupiers and force Russia to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine," said Ukraine's military. 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 (124 miles) south of Moscow. Reuters could not confirm the claims by either side. Both Russia and Ukraine have conducted frequent aerial attacks on targets far behind the front lines where fighting has raged for nearly three-and-a-half years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

'Explosions' at Yemeni port after Israel issues evacuation warning
Residents say they have heard explosions at Hodeidah port in Yemen. The blasts came after the Israeli military issued an evacuation warning for people at three Yemeni ports - Hodeidah, Ras Issa, and Salif - as well as the Ras al Khatib power station. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it would carry out airstrikes on those areas due to "military activities being carried out there". An IDF spokesperson said: "For your safety, we urge all those present in the specified areas, as well as ships anchored nearby, to evacuate immediately." Earlier in the day, a ship was reportedly set on fire after being attacked in the Red Sea. The assault, off the southwest coast of Yemen, resembled that of the Houthi militant group, said a private security company. It was the first such incident reported in the vital shipping corridor since mid-April. Maritime security sources said the vessel, identified as the Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier Magic Seas, had taken on water after being hit by sea drones. The crew abandoned the ship.
