At least three people have been killed after Russia fired five missiles on Ukraine's southern city of Zaporizhzhia, the regional governor said. "What marks today's strikes: first, there were two missile strikes, and then, about 40 minutes later, there were other strikes at the same place – just as rescuers, police started working," Governor Ivan Fedorov said on national television. Thirteen people were wounded, including a nine-year old boy, and four were hospitalised in grave condition. Two journalists were among the wounded. At least three apartment blocks, 10 private houses, shops and an unidentified industrial facility were also damaged, Fedorov said.

Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin reports on how autonomous weapons used in Ukraine have transformed the battlefield on'Special Report.' A series of scandals has blighted Denmark's Armed Forces at a time when the Scandinavian country and member of the NATO alliance is building up its defenses, chiefly as a response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The events have so far led to the dismissal this week of Denmark's top military chief, Gen. Flemming Lentfer, who failed to inform the defense minister about an incident on the frigate HDMS Iver Huitfeldt last month while deployed to the Red Sea, where it was part of a U.S.-led operation to defend commercial shipping against Houthi militants. On Thursday, a technical error onboard its sister ship, the frigate HDMS Niels Juel that was docked in a Danish harbor, led to the air space and maritime route being briefly closed due to fears a navy missile might launch unintentionally -- but not explode -- and send fragments falling into the busy shipping lane between the islands of Zeeland, where Copenhagen sits, and Funen. The Iver Huitfeldt, which returned from its Red Sea mission on Thursday, ahead of schedule, reportedly experienced a half-hour long malfunction of its missile and radar systems during a drone attack on March 9, according to the specialist defense news website Olfi.

The Israeli military says it has dismissed two officers for their roles in an attack in central Gaza that killed seven aid workers, saying they had mishandled critical information and violated the army's rules of engagement. The military said in a report on Friday that an internal investigation "found that the forces identified a gunman on one of the aid trucks" which led to the discovery of another. The United States-based charity, World Central Kitchen (WCK), whose convoy was hit said Israel's "apologies for the outrageous killing of our colleagues represent cold comfort". WCK CEO Erin Gore also said "Israel needs to take concrete steps to assure the safety of humanitarian aid workers. The Israeli military said that after the vehicles left the warehouse where the aid had been unloaded "one of the commanders mistakenly assumed that the gunmen were located inside the accompanying vehicles and that these were Hamas terrorists". It called the strike on the aid vehicles "a grave mistake stemming from a serious failure due to a mistaken identification, errors in decision-making, and an attack contrary to the Standard Operating Procedures". Reporting from occupied East Jerusalem, Al Jazeera's Rory Challands pointed out that the report by the Israeli military makes no mention of any potential legal prosecutions against the dismissed officers. "That might come in the future, but it's certainly not contained in the report," he said. "What we're getting is dismissals and military reprimands.

Russia has downed 53 Ukrainian drones, the majority of which targeted the southern Rostov region, the Ministry of Defence said, as the Kremlin warned that Russia and NATO are now in "direct confrontation" over Ukraine. The ministry said that "terrorist attacks with aerial drones" overnight and on Friday morning were foiled, adding that 44 of them were downed or intercepted in Rostov, where Russia's Ukraine campaign headquarters is located. Vasily Golubev, the governor of Rostov, confirmed early on Friday that air defence units had destroyed more than 40 airborne targets, though an electricity substation was damaged. Writing on the Telegram messaging app, he said the drone attacks had focused on the Morozovsk district, northeast of Rostov, which lies on Ukraine's eastern border. Golubev said work was under way to restore power supplies in the affected areas.

A Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that hit Russia's Tatarstan region this week was likely a modified Ukrainian-made Aeroprakt A-22 light aircraft, several experts said, offering insight into one of Kyiv's deepest drone strikes to date. Russia said the attack hit an industrial site's dorms and hurt 13 people. A Kyiv intelligence source said it struck a site used to produce Russian long-range drones that have been used in the thousands to pound Ukraine during the 25-month war. Russian media reported that two drones struck the dormitory at Russia's Alabuga Special Economic Zone, which is located more than 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine's northeastern city of Kharkiv near the Russian border. It is unclear what the second drone was.

BANGKOK (AP) -- Myanmar's main pro-democracy resistance group said Thursday its armed wing launched drone attacks on the airport and a military headquarters in the capital, Naypyitaw, but the country's ruling military said it destroyed or seized more than a dozen drones used in the attacks. The opposition National Unity Government's "Defense Ministry" said in a statement that special units of the People's Defense Force used drones to attack the targets simultaneously. The group, known by the acronym NUG, calls itself the country's legitimate government, while the People's Defense Force is made up of many local resistance groups with a good deal of independence.

Myanmar's main pro-democracy opposition group says its armed wing has launched drone attacks on an airport and a military headquarters in the capital, Naypyidaw, but the military government says it has destroyed or seized more than a dozen drones used in the attacks. Military-run Myawaddy TV reported on Thursday that 13 fixed-wing drones were shot down over the capital of military-ruled Myanmar in a foiled attack with no casualties or damage to property. It said the foiled attack by "terrorists" sought to destroy important locations in Naypyidaw. Myawaddy did not mention what the targets were but broadcast an image showing nine small drones, several of which were damaged. Of the 13 drones, four carried explosives, the report said.

The junta has also lost large areas of territory to insurgents along the Bangladesh and Indian borders.

Russian attacks on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, have killed at least four people and injured 12, officials in the border region have said. Shahed drones struck two residential buildings in the city near the Russian border that has frequently been targeted during more than two years of war. Three rescue workers were killed overnight when Russia struck a multi-storey building twice in quick succession in a "densely populated district of Kharkiv", Igor Terekhov, the mayor of the eastern city, wrote on the Telegram app on Thursday. One person was killed in a drone attack on another building, he said. Ukraine's General Staff said 11 of 20 drones were shot down.

This work presents the design of Stickbug, a six-armed, multi-agent, precision pollination robot that combines the accuracy of single-agent systems with swarm parallelization in greenhouses. Precision pollination robots have often been proposed to offset the effects of a decreasing population of natural pollinators, but they frequently lack the required parallelization and scalability. Stickbug achieves this by allowing each arm and drive base to act as an individual agent, significantly reducing planning complexity. Stickbug uses a compact holonomic Kiwi drive to navigate narrow greenhouse rows, a tall mast to support multiple manipulators and reach plant heights, a detection model and classifier to identify Bramble flowers, and a felt-tipped end-effector for contact-based pollination. Initial experimental validation demonstrates that Stickbug can attempt over 1.5 pollinations per minute with a 50% success rate. Additionally, a Bramble flower perception dataset was created and is publicly available alongside Stickbug's software and design files.
