Sirens have activated in the Baghdad Green Zone. 1 rocket has reportedly fallen there.

#Iraq #Iran #USA
[Knish]
3 Rockets have targeted Balad Airbase, north of #Baghdad, #US forces are based there.
Appears to be dual attack. 2 rockets reportedly fired towards the #US Embassy in the Green Zone, #Baghdad and the secondary attack against Balad Airbase. #Iraq
Correction: 1 rocket towards the Embassy, another landed elsewhere, mixed reports on the other locations at the moment.
Balad is targeted regularly, this is worth noting.

an example here:
forces.net/news/mortar-at…
3 wounded due to rocket impact in Central #Baghdad. All 3 are civilians.
The rocket that landed in #Baghdad appears to have stuck a house were 3 people are reportedly injured.
4 “Katyusha” rockets were fired towards Balad Airbase. Initial reports suggest no damage. Will update accordingly.

(Katyusha is in quotes because every rocket launched at the moment is reported as katyusha)
Two rockets fell inside Balad Air Base in the housing area, no casualities reported according to reports.
5 people however were injured due to the rocket landing in the Al-Jadriya neighborhood in #Baghdad.
Update: Reports of 3 #Iraq|i personnel injured in the Balad Airbase.
4 rockets confirmed, 3 at Balad Airbase and 1 at Central #Baghdad.
Kata’ib #Hezbollah, according to @AlMayadeenLive have requested that secuirty agencies in #Iraq stay at least 1000 meters away from #US bases starting from tomorrow evening.
*Security, MY FAT FINGERS CANT COPE. [David]
Initial unconfirmed reports of an airstrike on the #Iraq|i/#Syria|n border targeting #PMU/#PMF members, reports of 5 killed.
General thought on the Kata’ib #Hezbollah announcement. Doesn’t mean the attacks will start tomorrow. I mean, they might, but it removes the element of surprise right? and attacks are meant to be surprising.
Update: the reported airstrike on the #PMF position on the border seems to be “confirmed” but nothing else regards to the reported deaths.
Katab’ib #Hezbollah have issued a warning to the #Iraq|i parliment speaker that they will be watching the decision on the #US presence in #Iraq closely.
fat fingers strike again.

Kata’ib…. [David]
Intense #US Military presense reported over and around Balad Air Base after rocket attack.

Druzhba Pipeline is one of the worlds longest pipelines, also known as the Friendship Pipeline

Image
The Druzhba will have significant amount of feeder lines, my assumption (pure assumption) is this one be one of the lines, rather than the parent (Druzhba itself)
managed to find a decent(ish) map to show some of the major feeder lines, one is in the vicinity of Luhansk Image

A number of tweets are circulating claiming that all gov.ua websites are down, this is inaccurate. A number of https://t.co/GHTPaJf8VZ websites have been impacted by a DDoS attack, but this appears to be limited in scope.
For example, covid19.gov.ua is still accessible, along with rada.cip.gov.ua.

There are a number of others which remain accessible at this time.

Going to post some of the replies to in the thread for folk who are curious.

Oh hello…. A drone reportedly from “Eastern #Iraq” that was intercepted by coalition forces near/on its way to #Erbil.

That drone looks familiar…. 🙃 ImageImageImage
This design shares more of a resemblance/design characteristics with the ones we’ve seen used in #Yemen / #Saudi, but they all are derived from the #Iran|ian “Shahed-136” ImageImage
The Iranian variant and the derived Wa’eed which belongs to the #Houthi’s (Yemen has two variants, technically) have a slightly different nose and winglets. ImageImage
