Just a little 🧵 looking at the aftermath of the strike on the ammo depot @ Raiske, Cherson Oblast, Oekraïne which seems to have happend on 18-7 at 5 am.When looking @ the video clearly missiles and thermobaric charges can be seen detonating

#SlavaUkraini
At 5 am presumable HIMARS rocket fire hit an ammonutions storage warehouse located at a 🇷🇺 military facility in #Raiske [46.42567 33.18566] seen on sat. images the facility consisted of 6 large warehouses and several smaller structures, just west are an urban area & wheat factory
When looking @ Nasa #FIRMS data from 18-7 it's clear there are mulitiple fires around the south and west sids of town. The fires can be located at 3 places. The first attack hit the ammo storage, fires to E & S were prob. started by exploding ammo & spread thru dry fields.
There was a third fire approx 2.5 km to the north was detected serveral hours after the first hit [46.442006 33.165538] I believe this to be a secundary target which probably was a rally point for surviving troops & equipment from the military facility.
On the following #Sentinel image the destruction can clearly been seen. The whole military facility has been destroyed and all fields south and west are burned to for at least 300 m. One only can imaging the damage done to the adjecent urban areas.
As can be seem on FIRMS data from the 19th fires are still burning around the area. A conclusion can be made from this & the #NovaKakhovka explosions that a large part of 🇷🇺 MLRS supplies in this area were destroyed which will impact action of these units.

As promissed a 🧵 on what was happening inside #Kherson city yesterday (22-7). I have been in contact some local sources who painted a picture of every growing chaos & fear among 🇷🇺 troops & collaborators inside the city. First it's important to know that during the occupation
The 🇷🇺 invaders have been setting a system of checkpoints on almost any intersection in the city, these are called blockposts by the civilians. Before last week these checkpoints where mostly manned by #Rosgvardiya troops which are a internal mil. force directly under #Putin.
During the last few days,most of these #Rosvguardia seem to have left the city and manning of the checkpoint seemed more lacks. This seems to have increased the number of desertions,farmers in the surrounding areas are being confronted with 🇷🇺 soldiers dressed in civilian clothes

Yesterday some interesting footage from #Kherson region appeared on telegram showing 🇷🇺 BM-27 #Urugan launchers on the road with the comment that fields were burning around #Chaplynka due to the launches. I decided to investigate here is my little 🧵

#SlavaUkraïni #OSINT
On the photo's there are powerlines visible which i was able to locate to being on the road out of #Chaplynka toward #NovaKakhovka. Also a blue sign can be sign which suggests that it just outside of town. When we look at the #FIRMS data however we do not see fires in this area.
When we look at #Sentinel images for 18-7 however we can see a burnt piece of land just NW of this road near the town of #Preobrazhenka. When we go back one day however this piece of land hasn't burned yet. This makes it a likely launching site according to satellite date.

🧵 on 🇺🇦 offensive actions on #Snihurivka in the #Mikolaev region.First an introduction to the strategic importance of this town.
1. Located on the bend of the river #Inhulets.
2. 2 bridges
3. Railway hub #Kherson - #Zaporizhzhia - #Mykolayiv regions.

#OSINT #SlavaUkraïni
🇷🇺 forces occupied #Snuhurivka after heavy shelling on 19-3-2022.
Directly they started building heavy defensive lines N & W of town . 🇺🇦 forces held the surrounding towns to the North & West. Defensive works consisted mainly of trenches and dug in armour positions.
According to local sources early morning of the 3th of juli 🇺🇦 forces started to move from W, N & NW toward #Blahodatne.🇺🇦 forces been prepping the BF by targetting defenses around this town from the 1st of juli forcing 🇷🇺 to fall back to defenses @ #Novopetrivka & #Lyubine

🧵 on the warehouse/ammo depot attack @ #NovaKakhovka #Kherson from tonight. 🇺🇦 forces presumable using HIMARS have destroyed a large ammo storage warehouse. According to soc. media sources this was a MLRS rocket storage facility

#OSINT #SlavaUkraïni
Using FIRMS data i will try to find more details about the attack. According to the data the first strike took place before 22.21 near location [46.7659233.39619] which seems to be a large recreation center. Fires seems to be concentrated on the NW corner of the complex.
This site seems perfect for AA systems overviewing the river and the dam. On FIRMS there is a 2nd fire detected at the same time in an area to the south. This is located in a residental area. Probably this is the result of shells/rockets overshooting it's objective @ rec. center.

Had a conversation with a dutch guy @delangeleo who was stuck in #Kherson for 4 months during the 🇷🇺 occupation. He told me in the city there was/is constant partisan activity. During the first couple of weeks this mainly consisted of assisting 🇷🇺 deserters to cross the lines,
These numbered in the 100's during the first months. This changed later on when at first there started to appear spray painted 🇺🇦 flags & flyers everywhere which the occupiers tried to paint over & remove asap. Also there started to be daily attacks on 🇷🇺 vehicles & troops.
🇷🇺 Trucks are getting bombed on a daily basis and 🇷🇺 soldiers just dissapear and are found dead later on. Strangly the partisans are asking the people not to post these actions on social media.The only reason i can think of not to spread this is to protect the people themselves

News keeps coming in from different sources that 🇷🇺 defensive positions around #Chornobivka and airport are under constant artillery fire since juli 2nd. FIRMS data seem to indicate that on 2nd area's just west of the airport where struck.

@WarMonitor3 @DefMon3 @ukraine_map
FIRMS data showing a large field burned can be seen on Sentinel images from 3rd juli. On the 3rd of juli FIRMS indicates targets at the edge of the airport on highway M14 seem to be struck. 🇷🇺 forces presumably fell back here from prev. defensive positions 3 km out.
These previous defenses where taken up after defenses @ #Klapaya were severly struck on 15 till 19th of june. After these strikes they fell back 4 km to positions just 3 km from the airport these were subsequently hit on 29th june leading to their withdrawel to the airports edge
