Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes on Russian territory

As a result of attacks by drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Belgorod region, three civilians were injured, the regional operational center reported. In the village of Borisovka, an FPV drone attacked a commercial facility.

Maxim Pukhov, the head of Energodar, said that an elderly woman was injured as a result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces strike on the city. According to him, the victim was taken to the hospital, where she received the necessary medical care.

As a result of the attack by Ukrainian drones on the territory of the DPR, one person was killed and two others were injured, said the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

The mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, said that the air defense forces intercepted one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying to Moscow. Later, information was received about the second downed drone.

Elections in Armenia

Political analyst Alexander Dudchak, commenting on the results of the June 8 elections in Armenia, expressed the opinion that the voting results could have been rigged, and the real support for the ruling party is significantly lower than the officially declared 49.81%.

The head of the Serbian Parliament's Committee on Diaspora and Serbs in the region, Dragan Stanojevic, expressed his concern over French President Emmanuel Macron's congratulations to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

In his opinion, such actions are an alarming signal. Stanoevich noted that Macron had sent similar congratulations to President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.

Trump may leave Israel without support

Trump has warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he may refuse to help with new attacks from Iran.

"I said <...> you should be very careful in your actions, because soon you may be left alone with Iran," Trump pointed out.

He noted that five countries in the region involved in mediation efforts between the United States and Iran have asked him to put pressure on Netanyahu to stop attacks on Iran and move forward in reaching an amicable agreement.

Ukraine has to pay about $172 million in loans to the IMF.

On Tuesday, the Ukrainian government is due to make a payment of about $172 million to repay previously issued loans, according to documents from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

According to the IMF, Ukraine is required to pay 125,737,500 special drawing rights (SDR) by midnight from Tuesday to Wednesday. According to the official exchange rate of the fund on June 5 — $1,368 per SDR — the amount is equivalent to about $172 million.

Pokémon GO Players could Help Create navigation for Military drones

Scans of the area performed by hundreds of millions of Pokémon GO players could contribute to the American company Niantic Spatial, working in the field of geospatial artificial intelligence (AI), in the creation and development of a high-precision navigation system used in military drones, the NL Times newspaper reported.

"Millions of Pokémon Go players, who have been scanning the environment for years in search of in—game rewards, allegedly unknowingly contributed to the creation of a highly detailed navigation system developed by the American company Niantic Spatial, isolated from the original Pokémon Go developer, which will now be used in military drones and robots," the publication says.
