Russian strike hits Ukrainian defense expo as Zelensky prepares for Trump meeting

A Russian missile strike on a defense industry exhibition in Ukraine's Kyiv region killed ten people and injured nearly 100 others on Friday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged that the gathering should not have been held. The attack occurred as U.S. government sources confirmed that President Donald Trump plans to host Zelensky at the White House on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, security tensions remain elevated across multiple regions. Romania scrambled an F-16 to shoot down a drone breaching NATO airspace, while Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain intercepted incoming Iranian missiles and drones. Additionally, U.S. forces carried out a thirteenth consecutive night of strikes targeting Iranian military assets around the Strait of Hormuz.
