Combat operation of airborne units during the special military operation #Ukrainian units attempted a breakthrough in the #Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction by motorized infantry units supported by infantry fighting vehicles, but were stopped by units of #Russian paratroopers. 2/

Appears #Germany is now coming to the obvious realisation that #nordstream2 is now an option they must consider.

"Our air defense works, but even from downed missiles, mines can fall to the ground and remain active. I ask all residents NOT to let their children out of the house and to exercise maximum vigilance when moving around the city until the sappers of Ministry of Emergency ..." 3/
