Real, proper #IndependenceDay fireworks tonight in #Snizhne!

An exploding Russian ammunition depot can be seen for miles.
From downtown Snizhne:
Look at that smoke trail. Explosion is shooting ‘bottle rockets’ out in every direction. Happy 4th to all the brave American lads fighting in the Donbas and beyond! 🎇🧨🎆

I've been able to compare FIRMS data with preliminary footage from the explosion to conclude tonight's explosion in #Snizhne occurred here: a large warehouse just south of town.
This warehouse is labeled 'hangar with equipment' on @wikimapia. Could've been home to not only Russian ammunition, but armored vehicles too.

Here's a photo of the warehouse from last year.
There was also a gas station across the street that I'm 90% sure went kaboom.

Growing evidence suggests that Russian forces now control a majority of the Lysychansk Oil Refinery. Heavy fighting has ravaged the site since mid-June.
The refinery is the second largest in Ukraine. Pre-war, it could refine over 16 million tons of oil per year.
Ukrainian forces nonetheless continue to occupy portions of the facility. Will be a harder and harder site to contest with Ukrainian forces now leaving Lyschansk proper.

Quick thread on the old 369th Missile Regiment base near Cheretyanka, Belarus...
There's been some chatter lately about the installation (located at 52.191389, 27.806389) becoming active again in preparation for future RU Iskander units.

The facility, as of 2017 at least, is in absolute ruin, and has sat abandoned since 1997.
(The photos and videos come from these cool dudes who explore old Soviet ruins.)

You're going to hear a lot about the #Azovstal steel plant in the coming hours...

The large complex of furnaces and rolling mills has become the 'final stand' for Ukrainian forces fighting in #Mariupol. Facility is also rumored to have countless underground tunnels.
Its rumored that the RuAF is dropping FAB-500s on the facility. Would concur with footage of heavy bombers airborne above the city earlier this morning.
For context...

Meta time. With no summer courses this year, I’ve begun to look into a variety of shadowing/intern opportunities both at home and elsewhere.

I’m wide open and flexible, but would love some recommendations: especially those now working in print/digital media.
The last few months have been a mix of sadness and anxiety for so many, but one thing I’ve realized is how strong my passion is for what I do.

I give my thanks to all those in this community who have helped me: not just from a professional standpoint, but from an emotional one.
Lastly, as many have noticed, while @IntelCrab remains, my name has changed to…well…my name.

I started this account almost 7 years ago. I was a young kid. I could not even drive a car. For years I hid my identity to conceal this fact.

The situation in/around #Bucha is hard to put into words. Some of the worst photos/videos I've seen since the war started.
Seems every war-aged male was executed. Easily 500+ fatalities. Would not be surprised to see a final figure much higher than that, even.
Just saw a new video. The density of civilians corpses lying in the road is so high that vehicles have to continually swerve in order to avoid running them over.

Hard to watch. Even for the long desensitized.
