Is the war entering a new phase? Russia and Ukraine have traded deadly overnight drone attacks, killing three people in Ukraine's southern port city of Kherson and Russia's Black Sea port city of Novorossiysk, according to regional officials. A Ukrainian drone attack on Novorossiysk overnight Tuesday into Wednesday killed a child, injured another child and woman, and damaged dozens of buildings, including homes, reported mayor Andrei Kravchenko. "Novorossiysk endured a horrific night," Kravchenko wrote in a post on Telegram. In the broader Krasnodar region, where Novorossiysk is located, eight people were injured, according to the regional governor, Veniamin Kondratyev.

Drop-off fees at the UK's major airports have risen by a third on average since last summer, new analysis has found. The RAC looked at the cost of pulling up at the closest point to terminals at the 20 busiest airports - 16 had put up their fees since last year. Two London airports, Gatwick and Stansted, topped the price table at £10. Trade body Airports UK said free drop-offs were available and fees were part of airports' business models and climate change objectives . London Gatwick's is the highest farewell fee, charging £10 for 10 minutes on the forecourt outside either of its terminals. At Stansted, £10 buys a more generous 15 minutes, at Express Set Down outside departures.

Image caption, Ukraine's military described St Petersburg's oil terminal as one of the largest in Russia A major oil terminal in Russia's second city of St Petersburg in the north-west was struck overnight by Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. He described it as key infrastructure that generates revenue for Russia's war. Ukraine also said a major Russian naval base in the region was hit. St Petersburg Governor Aleksandr Beglov said the city was under a massive drone attack, admitting the oil terminal was hit. Ukraine has recently intensified its long-range drone attacks on Russia's critical energy infrastructure, causing widespread fuel shortages.

WIRED spoke with Bloomberg's chief technology officer about the big, chatbot-style changes coming to the iconic platform for traders. For its famous intractability, the Bloomberg Terminal has long inspired devotion, bordering on obsession . Among traders, the ability to chart a path through the software's dizzying scrolls of numbers and text to isolate far-flung information is the mark of a seasoned professional. But as a greater mass of data is fed into the Terminal--not only earnings and asset prices, but weather forecasts, shipping logs, factory locations, consumer spending patterns, private loans, and so on--valuable information is being lost. "It has become more and more untenable," says Shawn Edwards, chief technology officer at Bloomberg.

As Silicon Valley obsesses over a new wave of AI coding agents, Google and other AI labs are shifting their bets. Google is shaking up the team behind Project Mariner, its AI agent that can navigate the Chrome browser and complete tasks on a user's behalf, WIRED has learned. In recent months, some Google Labs staffers who worked on the research prototype have moved on to higher-priority projects, according to two people familiar with the matter. A Google spokesperson confirmed the changes, but said the computer use capabilities developed under Project Mariner will be incorporated into the company's agent strategy moving forward. Google has already folded some of these capabilities into other agent products, including the recently launched Gemini Agent, the spokesperson added.

Ukraine hails'real results' after Musk restricts Russian Starlink use Elon Musk's efforts to stop Russia from using Starlink satellites for drone attacks have delivered real results, a Ukrainian official said. Praising the SpaceX founder as a true champion of freedom and a true friend of the Ukrainian people, defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov said Musk had swiftly responded when he was told Russian drones with Starlink connectivity were operating in the country. The drones have been linked to a number of recent deadly attacks by Russia on Ukraine, including one on a moving passenger train which left six people dead. Looks like the steps we took to stop the unauthorised use of Starlink by Russia have worked, Musk wrote on X. Let us know if more needs to be done.

WIRED spoke with Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, about how the viral coding tool is changing the way Anthropic works. Engineers in Silicon Valley have been raving about Anthropic's AI coding tool, Claude Code, for months. But recently, the buzz feels as if it's reached a fever pitch. Earlier this week, I sat down with Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, to try to understand how the company is meeting this moment. "We built the simplest possible thing," said Cherny. "The craziest thing was learning three months ago that half of the sales team at Anthropic uses Claude Code every week."
