"The occupiers partially succeeded in the Donetsk operational area. On approaches to Mykolaiv, the enemy was stopped by joint actions of divisions of Defense forces."

In the Polissya direction, the enemy is trying to hold the previously captured frontiers on the Irpin River."

(1/x) BREAKING: At @HNTRBRKmedia, we just used OSINT to figure out why Japan's tech giant SoftBank may be spending $400 million buying... American grocery stores as part of the Albertsons-Kroger merger?
Hint: It may have to do with the AI company Symbotic/ $SYM. CC @FTC.
The FTC is in court to block the merger and subpoenaed C&S Wholesale Grocers for “all communications and other Documents transmitted between or among you, the Company, Defendants, C&S, SoftBank, Symbotic.”
Key Findings:
- C&S, backed by SoftBank, is set to acquire 500+ stores from Kroger/Albertsons to protect "competition" in groceries.
- C&S execs also run $SYM, a struggling warehouse automation AI company.
- C&S previously stated they are moving away from retail, so why the sudden reversal?
- We found statistically improbable overlap between Symbotic operations and the stores that Albertsons and Kroger would divest to C&S.
- Our back of the envelope math shows less than a 0.01% chance this overlap is coincidental. Anything is possible!
A pair of Russian schoolchildren torched a Russian Mi-8T transport helicopter (RA-24519) at Noyabrsk airfield, Siberia. The helicopter is a complete loss.
The pair reportedly carried out the attack after receiving an offer of 5 million rubles from an unknown figure on telegram.
Sweden just announced a new $440 million military aid package for Ukraine, including a large variety of Swedish equipment:
RBS 70 SAM systems
17 CB90-class fast assault craft
Equipment to enable potential future deliveries of JAS 39C/D Gripen fighters
40mm ammunition
“In parallel the Swedish Government is continuing its efforts to establish conditions for a possible future support of JAS 39 Gripen fighters to Ukraine. Support package 17 does so by acquiring materiel parts for the JAS 39 Gripen worth approximately SEK 2.3 billion.
Materiel parts are JAS 39C/D parts that are being reused in the construction of new JAS 39E aircraft. By acquiring new materiel parts, a number of JAS 39C/D will be saved from being dismantled and can – if the Swedish government decides so – be considered for a possible future donation to Ukraine.”
Images from Russia's Marinovka Air Base in Volgograd Oblast reveal that some of the Ukrainian drones that hit the airfield’s hangars last night were equipped with shrapnel enhancers.
Seen here, an unarmored Russian aircraft shelter sports hundreds of small holes.
Appears to have been a number of ball bearings.
The aircraft shelters today, those still standing occupied by Russian aircraft.
Ukrainian attack drones mounted a large strike into Russia tonight, with multiple explosions, smoke and flames seen rising from Oktyabrskoye Airfield in Volgograd Oblast.
Local sources report at least 12 explosions near the Russian airbase.
