A bird built its nest with cable used to control war drones

A Ukrainian serviceman found a bird's nest near Chorne, Ukraine. Part of it was woven from fibre-optic cable, which carries signals.

Some war drones unroll a long, thin cable like this as they fly. It carries the pilot's commands, and the used cable is left behind.

He gave the nest to Kyiv's War Museum. A tool of war had become part of a bird's home.
