Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses shot down more than 500 drones in over a dozen regions. And in Moscow, flashes from the intercepts peppered the night sky. Still, the Ukrainian drone struck several high rise buildings on the outskirts of the capital, with India's embassy in Moscow confirming that one of the victims was an Indian national. Separately, Moscow's Mayor Sergei Sebyanin confirmed the drone struck near an oil and gas refinery, injuring several workers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the attacks were entirely justified given last week's Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv. They killed two dozen and injured scores more. Zelenskyy also promised the attacks would continue. Charles Manes, NPR News.

The nine person jury is an advisory jury and U.S. district Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers will make the ultimate call, although she said she's likely to follow the jury's lead. If Altman and OpenAI are found liable, there could be big changes. Musk wants a rollback of the for profit company. He wants up to about $150 billion in gains that are linked to that company to be put into OpenAI's nonprofit foundation. And he wants Altman and Brockman ousted from their leadership roles.
