Ukraine struck Russia’s most advanced stealth jet for the first time ever in a drone attack aimed at limiting Moscow’s ability to fire missiles, a person familiar with the matter said.The Su-57 combat fighter was hit by Ukrainian-made drones at the Akhtubinsk airbase in Astrakhan, southern Russia, approximately 590 kilometers (366 miles) from the battlefield, the person said, asking not to be identified discussing sensitive Ukrainian military operations.Ukrainian military intelligence released a statement on its website Sunday with satellite images of Akhtubinsk airfield showing the damage, though it stopped short of taking responsibility for the attack.Russia’s defense ministry said Saturday three Ukrainian drones were shot down over the Astrakhan region, without commenting on reports of the jet’s damage. Russian military bloggers confirmed a drone attack at Akhtubinsk airbase had taken place.Moscow has stepped up missiles attacks on Ukraine since the end of March, hitting civilian infrastructure and power generation facilities, which led to rolling blackouts across the country. The largest power plant in the capital region was destroyed in April by Russian Kh-69 missiles fired by Su-57 jets.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has become a fundraising juggernaut in recent years, raising more money for candidates than any similar organization this cycle as part of its mission to back candidates who support Israel.That has made AIPAC the biggest source of Republican money flowing into competitive Democratic primaries this year, according to a POLITICO analysis of campaign finance data — and drawn outrage from the left over what it sees as GOP meddling in Democratic contests.Nearly half of AIPAC donors to Democratic candidates this year have some recent history of giving to Republican campaigns or committees.“AIPAC can’t actually claim that they represent Democrats and Republicans in the same way. That veneer of bipartisanship is gone,” said Beth Miller, political director for Jewish Voice for Peace Action, a nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian rights and has been at the forefront of calls for a ceasefire.
