Ukraine Needs $30 Billion to Boost Arms Output, Zelenskiy Says
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on western allies to provide about $30 billion by the end of the year to boost domestic weapons production and hold off Russia's advance. With support from the US under President Donald Trump waning and efforts at peace negotiations with Russia's Vladimir Putin stalling, Ukraine is increasingly focused on relying on its own resources. But the war-battered economy is far short on investments needed to ramp up arms production, Zelenskiy said.

Israeli military: Hezbollah official killed in South Lebanon's Tyre strike
The Israeli military announced on Wednesday that it had carried out an airstrike in South Lebanon targeting Hussein Nazih Barji, described as a 'senior Hezbollah operative specializing in weapons production.' The strike took place in the Tyre region and was part of ongoing Israeli operations to weaken Hezbollah's military capabilities. According to Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee, Barji was a key figure within Hezbollah's research, development, and production directorate and played a central role in advancing the group's weapons manufacturing efforts. Barji reportedly worked as an experienced engineer tasked with developing and maintaining infrastructure for producing precision-guided surface-to-surface missiles. The Israeli military said the attack was intended to disrupt Hezbollah's efforts to rebuild its military capacities following Israel's "Operation Northern Shield." The Israeli statement accused Hezbollah's weapons production directorate of violating understandings between Lebanon and Israel, warning that such activities pose a direct threat to Israeli security.
