Live updates: Iran attacks Israel with missile barrages; explosions reported in Tehran
Iran launched multiple waves of fresh missile barrages at Israel early Saturday, continuing exchanges between the two regional powers that began early Friday when Israel launched an attack that killed senior Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists. In the latest attacks, homes were damaged, two people were killed and more than a dozen injured in Rishon LeZion in central Israel, according to emergency services speaking to Israeli media. In Iran, semiofficial media reported explosions overnight in eastern Tehran and in the vicinity of the Mehrabad International Airport, in the capital. Iran unleashed a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel late Friday and early Saturday as it retaliated for the waves of Israeli strikes that killed top military leaders and nuclear scientists, and damaged a key uranium enrichment site. At least three people have been killed in Israel during Iranian missile barrages since Friday. Two people were killed in central Israel early Saturday and a woman who was injured in a suburb near Tel Aviv on Friday later died in a hospital, a spokesperson for Beilinson Hospital said.

The art of command and control on the battlefields of Ukraine
The conditions of modern war, which could not be avoided, require not only constant scientific understanding of the processes taking place in the spheres of national security, military technologies, weapons and information systems, but also in-depth study, first of all, of the history of wars. Only by studying the development of defence technologies can it become possible to analyse the latest threats. It is these threats that become the determining factors for building a strategy for victory in the war. The spectrum of processes that need to be investigated is certainly wide. All components of this spectrum are crucial for understanding. There is a lot of talk and thought today about creating an army corps. For us, the military, this topic is primarily about management.
