Has the army turned the page on control of western Sudan? In early August, Sudan's military and allied groups repelled two successive attacks by the RSF in the strategically important Bir Saliba region. It lies about 30km (nearly 20 miles) north of el-Geneina, the capital of West Darfur state and the RSF's last stronghold in the region. The strategy could signal a shift in fighting towards el-Geneina. Leading to el-Geneina, the Bir Saliba region is of strategic importance.

Is the war entering a new phase? At least 13 killed in Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Nizhnekamsk At least 13 people, including a child, have been killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk, authorities said, as Ukraine's military said it carried out an attack on an oil facility in the region. Monday's attack in the Tatarstan region, about 800km (497 miles) east of Moscow, wounded at least 39 others, regional authorities said.

Nizhnekamsk plays a crucial role in Russia's oil exports, hosting one of the country's largest and most advanced refineries.

Is the war entering a new phase? 'Like the movies': How Ukraine's ground robots are changing rules of war A ground robot carrying ammunition and resembling a real-life cousin of Wall-E, the 2008 Pixar cartoon's rusty protagonist, got stuck late one night in a trench in northeastern Ukraine. Named Murakha (ant in Ukrainian), the robot was a bit more than a metre high, but had a large clearance to trudge across rugged terrain, bombed-out streets, mud, sleet or snow on tank-like tracks at up to 12km (7.5 miles) per hour. Sending a human rescue team to the front-line area was deemed too dangerous, an officer in charge of planning robotic missions said. Instead, the pilots managed to get another Murakha to pull the first one out with a rope.

At least 13 killed in Ukrainian strike on Russia's Tatarstan region, officials say At least 13 people have been killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian republic of Tatarstan, officials have said. One child was among the victims with 75 more people injured, Russian authorities said, in one of the deadliest single attacks on Russia since the start of Moscow's full-scale war in Ukraine. Kyiv has not yet commented on the strike on the city of Nizhnekamsk, which is more than 1,100 kilometres (680m) from the Ukrainian border. Ukraine's Armed Forces confirmed Nizhnekamsk's Tanevo oil refinery had been hit, while Ukrainian defence technology manufacturer FirePoint said its FP-1 drones had been used in the attack. The strike lasted several hours overnight and into the morning, local sources say.

The FCC is planning to target even more products in its drone ban, including those it previously approved, and DJI has issued a call to action in response. The federal agency is proposing to prohibit models equipped with certain capabilities, like thermal imaging, LiDAR sensing and aerosol dispensing. Any new ban would not affect drones already in the hands of buyers. In a public notice posted last month, the FCC "seeks comment on extending this prohibition to categories of drones viewed by the US government as having military capability or posing particular national security risks." The proposed expansion would also restrict drones that can "integrate defense articles, those that use docking stations" and "swarming drones."

Is the war entering a new phase? Germany warns of'daily hybrid warfare' after explosive-laden drone found Germany is facing daily "hybrid warfare" attacks from abroad, an official has said, days after an explosive-laden drone was discovered at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told the local newspaper Bild am Sonntag on Sunday that foreign powers wanted to subdue Germany politically and socially by stirring up fear. "Espionage, sabotage, cyberattacks, or covert operations by foreign powers aimed at destabilising Germany or inflicting direct harm are a constant reality." He did not identify any countries behind the alleged attacks.
