The Kremlin has "strongly" rejected an assessment by five European countries that the Russian state killed jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny by poisoning him. Navalny, President Vladimir Putin's fiercest domestic opponent for years, died in an Arctic prison colony on February 16, 2024 while serving a 19-year sentence for "extremism", a charge he and his supporters said was punishment for his opposition work. "We naturally do not accept such accusations. We consider them biased and baseless," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a daily briefing call on Monday. "In fact, we strongly reject them," he added.

As low-cost UAV equipment proliferates around the world, analysts have repeatedly warned that destructive attacks perpetrated using drones are inevitable . It is challenging to develop nimble and safe countermeasures, though, given that things like jamming or attempting to shoot down a drone are difficult--or even impossible--to carry out safely in populated areas, much less densely populated cities. In the case of the El Paso incident, the Federal Aviation Administration originally set the airspace closure to last 10 days, but ultimately lifted it after eight hours.
