Initial reports of multiple explosions in Al-Dora neighbourhood, south of #Baghdad, #Iraq
Explosion reportedly taking place inside Saqr military base
Initial reports #PMU Al-Saqr Base has been targeted.
Unconfirmed photo circulating social media.
Significant secondary explosion caught on camera at Al-Saqr.
Reports indicate a total of 6 explosions heard. Unclear how many are primary vs secondaries
Pro-PMU sources - al-Saqr base was attacked
Iraqi military sources - high temperatures caused the explosion
Same story has last year at the same location.
Footage from Pro-#PMU Al-Ahad showing the aftermath of the explosion at Al-Saqr Base. Technically, the official cause of the explosion is still unknown. Depends which side of the fence you sit on.
Israel announced that it was 181 ballistic missiles launched. Iranian media had a range from 200 to 400, but let’s go with 200 for argument as it’s closed to the 181 that Israel said and I doubt 200 odd missiles broke up mid air.
200 - 181 =19 did 19 fail? Not sure, or was it actually 181 launched. Something to consider, but for this exercise I’ll use 181 and then you can add 19 on if you want.
181 - 32 = 149 left.
Taking into account I have not time synced any videos at all and checked if they are the same on any location (don’t have time) this is going to work on a 1 to 1 ratio.
Footage showed at least 5 impacts at Tel Nof, and another 6 in different location
Initial low resolution satellite imagery from Nevatim Airbase this morning appears to show some damage around 31°12'15.7"N 35°02'19.7"E, which aligns with reports of a building being damaged. Not seeing anything else obvious, currently. Couple of annoying cloud shadows.
Another potential impact on the runway, and just south of it. Can't make up my mind on the one south of it, could be the change in light which can be observed on the larger structures.
Higher resolution required for this.
for those who want to gander themselves, here;
I am not seeing anything overly obvious would contradict the reports of it being hit and sustaining small damage, there are a few markers per se, but it's minimal, if that.browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/?zoom=14&lat=3…
After following the rhetorics and post event details of these drones for years in the Middle East seeing them now “in the wild” is truly something. The illusive Shahed’s doing their thing, in the public eye.
