Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1041 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY May 19, 2026: ‘The 7 MILLION Drone War’ by ZUMA Press partner agency Ukrinform photographer in Ukraine Dmytro Smolienko: Ukraine recently launched long-range drones in what turned out to be one of the largest pummelling’s of Russia during the conflict. President Zelenskyy said taking the war to Moscow was ‘entirely justified.’ Drone warfare in Ukraine has transitioned into a highly scaled, systemic contest of technology and production, reshaping the strategic landscape for both nations. Drone operations are now driven by massive industrial outputs, long-range deep strikes, and the integration of artificial intelligence. Ukraine is on track to produce over seven million drones this year, a significant leap from the 4 million manufactured in 2025. Welcome to ‘The 7 MILLION Drone War’

Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1039 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY May 5, 2026: ‘Minority Flock: Catholics In Algeria’ by award winning ZUMA Press photo-journalist Sadak Souici: Islam is the state religion in Algeria, and while the constitution affirms freedom of conscience, non-Muslim worship is closely regulated. Algeria has roughly 45 million people but only a few thousand Catholics, often estimated at no more than 10,000, or 1% of the population. Pope Leo XIV’s recent visit to Africa was a historic, 11-day apostolic journey and the first-ever papal visit to Algeria, where the pontiff strengthened Christian-Muslim ties, acknowledging Algeria’s struggle for independence. Most Catholics are expatriates and indigenous Algerian Catholics are very few because conversion from Islam is both sensitive culturally and regulated. Yet, the Church maintains dioceses, parishes, and regular sacramental life, showing a qualitative rather than numerical impact. Welcome to ‘Minority Flock: Catholics In Algeria’
