Britain will spend an extra £2bn on drones and “seek to introduce weapons and tactics developed during the war in Ukraine” in a bid to make it “battle-ready” reports The Guardian as laid out in the government’s Strategic Defence Review. Defence Secretary John Healey said that the Army would become “ten times more lethal”. Also on the paper’s front, a large image of tourists in front of “huge plumes of grey ash” as Sicily’s Mount Etna erupts also features.

"Starmer pledges to make Britain 'battle-ready' with drones and AI" reads the headline on the front page of The Guardian. — Britain will spend an extra £2bn on drones and “seek to introduce weapons and tactics developed during the war in Ukraine” in a bid to make it “battle-ready” reports The Guardian as laid out in the government’s Strategic Defence Review.

Also on the paper’s front, a large image of tourists in front of “huge plumes of grey ash” as Sicily’s Mount Etna erupts also features.

Mt Etna’s explosion and Britain’s “war footing” also make the front page of The Times.
