Georgia's Republican Secretary of State released a statement saying the state's elections are safe, and it's time to move on from past elections. The affidavit did not say where the C's material was being held.

Russian war infrastructure, including oil depots that help Moscow finance as war and supply the Russian army. Ukraine's general staff says the strike was on a drone storage warehouse in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. Drones are the key weapon in this war and can fly much farther with fiber optic cables that keep them from being jammed. They're guided by operators miles from the front. Some seven miles of land on both sides of the front line are now inside what's known as the kill zone, and neither side can maneuver within this area. Ukraine says it killed more soldiers in January than the Russian army recruited for the month. Twenty-two thousand Russian soldiers were recruited. Ukraine says more than 30,000 were killed in verifiable drone attacks captured on video.
