A new Russian Army camp was set up in the Voronezh region bordering Ukraine, @CITeam_en reports. High-resolution satellite imagery obtained by Visual Investigations indeed reveals hundreds of military vehicles at recently formed staging areas. 🛰️📸: @Maxar citeam.org/ru-military-ca… High-resolution satellite imagery, courtesy of Maxar TechnolHigh-resolution satellite imagery, courtesy of Maxar TechnolHigh-resolution satellite imagery, courtesy of Maxar Technol
While the Russian Ministry of Defense did announce military exercises along the border, these satellite images of the known Pogonovo training ground are worth pointing out amid heightened tensions between Russia and and Ukraine.
An Iskander is among the military vehicles deployed to Voronezh, Janes has established. While their analyst believes the troop movements are not offensive in its nature, the sighting of this short-range ballistic missile system is “significant,” he says.
Alongside the Iskander, which likely belongs to the 119 Missile Brigade, @JanesINTEL has identified an influx of Central Military District troops to Vorenezh:

‣ 74th and 35th Motorized Brigades
‣ 120th Artillery Brigade
‣ 6th Tank Regiment

“While Russia’s intentions are still unclear, this movement stands out as possibly the largest unannounced movement of troops since Russia’s invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine in 2015.” See also: meduza.io/en/feature/202…

Hundreds of insurgents attacked northern Mozambique's Palma last week, resulting in violence that sent thousands fleeing, with some rushing to the beach, where a ragtag fleet of cargo ships, tugboats and fishing vessels was ferrying people to safety. nytimes.com/2021/03/28/wor…
Islamic State's Central Africa Province (ISCAP) has claimed responsibility for the attack, claiming they killed more than 55 “members of the Mozambican army and the Christians, including nationals of Crusader states” in clashes that lasted for three days. Via @heytherehaIey.
The “members of the Mozambican army” in the statement probably refers to any security forces active in/around Palma, since DAG founder told BBC's @Sarah_Montague that the Mozambique's armed forces (FADM) didn't join until yesterday. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Jessica Watkins was charged with conspiracy for her role in the Capitol attack, alongside other Oath Keepers in military-style garb. New footage shows Watkins (and others linked to the group) pushing against riot police on Jan. 6, contradicting claims by her defense counsel.
The mob which includes the Oath Keepers is trying to get past the police toward the Senate Chamber. “Get in there! They can’t hold us,” Watkins is heard shouting in this @ParlerVideos first found by @CTExposers. You can see the ‘medic’ patch on her helmet. “Push! Push! Push!”
Those two videos seem to contradict claims Watkins made through her defense counsel that she, “in fact, encouraged others not to vandalize” and “did not harass any police officer, but [...] followed their orders.” extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/… Image

BREAKING: Six individuals affiliated with the Oath Keepers have been charged for conspiring to obstruct Congress. This thread details what we know about them, because the @nytimes Visual Investigations team has tracked several of them in earlier reporting. justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/six…
All six individuals have been added as co-defendants to a superseding indictment surrounding the group that ascended the Capitol's east steps in “military-style “stack” formation,” seen in this video.
Two couples are among the six new Oath Keepers that have been arrested and charged: Kelly (52) and Connie Meggs (59) of Dunnellon, FL, and Sandra Ruth Parker (62) and Bennie Alvin Parker (70) of Morrow, OH.

At least six people providing security for Roger Stone participated in the Capitol attack, our new Visual Investigation shows. Here's how the guards (all Oath Keepers) went from guarding Trump's longtime confidant to standing inside the Capitol on Jan. 6: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Mr. Stone, a convicted felon who was pardoned by Mr. Trump, has a long history as a self-proclaimed “dirty trickster” political operative. On Jan. 5 and 6, Oath Keepers provided security for him, something he himself confirmed.
We combed through hundreds of videos and photos and drew on research from @CTExposers to visually identify Mr. Stone's guards on Jan. 5 and 6. — from that group, these six entered the Capitol during the insurrection. Photos by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images; Jim Urquhart/Reut

Several members of the far-right paramilitary group the Oath Keepers face conspiracy charges for planning to breach the Capitol. We tracked 10 others operating in sync with the alleged conspirators, and how they connect to the group's leader. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
In our new Visual Investigation, and in this thread, we lay out how two of the individuals indicted —Jessica Watkins and Donovan Crowl— are seen throughout the day among this group of 10 self-identified Oath Keepers.
The full identities of the 10 Oath Keepers we’ve tracked are currently unknown, but after they left the Capitol, all of them can be seen gathered around the Oath Keepers’ founder, Stewart Rhodes, just 20 meters from the building. Photo by Ford Fischer/News2...

Today's front page features our story on the loosely connected, QAnon-believing network of 'patriots' that spent weeks organizing and crowd-sourcing money for mass action at the Capitol on Jan. 6: nytimes.com/2021/01/16/us/… w/ @ddknyt @mmcintire
Keith Lee, an Air Force veteran, was one of the far-right, low-budget agitators trying to 'Stop the Steal'. More than an hour before Trump's speech: “If you died today and you went to heaven, can you look George Washington in the face and say that you’ve fought for this country?”
Much is still unknown about the planning and financing of the Capitol siege. But it was partly driven by a largely ad hoc network of agitators like Mr. Lee — far-right militant, Christian conservative and QAnon adhering. “They think this fence is gonna stop us? Probably not.”
