Pro Azerbaijani protests have been going on all day around Iran today. Protesters are demanding the closure of the Norduz border pass to Armenia. Protests are reported in Tabriz, Tehran, Arbadil, Urmia and Mesghin Shahr.
Reports indicate that volunteers from Greece are on their way to Artsakh. 50 "ethnic Armenians" from Greece and 30 Greeks are on their way to the front

@KyleJGlen A Bipartisan letter signed by Reps. Schiff, Pallone, Speier and 46 others was sent to Secretary Pompeo urging him to "use all available diplomatic tools to reduce tensions, end the fighting, and restrain Azerbaijan from further offensive actions."
@KyleJGlen Reports from PM Pashinyan that 4 drones were detected near Abovyan in Kotayk. 3 have been shot down. 4th is in the process of being shot down.
@KyleJGlen We are waiting confirmation as to if the missiles and the drones are unrelated incidents. It is unclear if the missiles were mistaken and were actually drones. For now we consider the situation separate until we get confirm.
Ok it seems I misqouted. Sorry a bit crazed over the current situation. Right now as it stands there is no real confirmation on the CSTO allegations so we are going to leave that until we get full confirmation as it is a big deal. Sorry again.
Pompeo: External forces should not interfere with the situation in Karabakh. US has spoken with leader of both sides urging them to back up and conclude with a truce.
Greek hackers from Anonymous Greece have just hacked 83 Azerbaijani state sites to show their support for Armenians. They have apparently stolen state information as well for the Armenian gov.
According to @ShStepanyan at 00:15 four UAVs were shot down by Air Defense of Armenia. 1 in Kotayk and 3 in Gegharkunik. All were Survallience and Recon drones.
Macron: I have confirmed data that 300 terrorists left Syria on their way to Baku through Turkish territory in order to participate in battles. These terrorists have been identified as members of a jihadist organization operating in Aleppo.
PM Nikol Pashinyan had a telephone conversation with the US National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien. O'Brien expressed Americas deep concern over the situation in the Caucasus. He confirmed the US interest in an immediate ceasefire.
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.
