Appears that Ukrainian forces are back in control of Sviatohirsk. Images shared online show the Ukrainian flag at the city council building and soldiers in the city across the river from the Sviatohirsk Lavra.
There are also photos/videos from Bohorodychne nearby. This video shows what's left of the city's monastery buildings, one of which was destroyed on May 17 by an apparent Russian cruise missile strike.
Video showing the destroyed bridge in Sviatohirsk at which crosses the Siverskyi Donets River and connects the Lavra to the city. The city is back under Ukrainian control.
Hamas military statement claims they’re still active in southern Israeli cities including Mishmar Hanegev, Netivot and Ofakim while “engaged in fierce confrontations in Be'eri and Sderot”.
Evidence for this comes from two videos from a Moscow broadcaster showing the strikes.
In the first, the Spasskaya Tower clock shows the time at ~2:27am and shows the drone splash fire on the domed Kremlin building. tvc.ru/news/show/id/2…
In the second video, the time on the Spasskaya Tower clock sits at around 2:43am. You can also see the drone impact more closely resembles the impact in the video with the people present (closer to flagpole, no splash of fire on the roof).
Also includes some conversations Jack had with other users once his images started making the rounds outside the servers he was active in.
And there's the farewell message he wrote in March that @AricToler already dug up.
Part of the government's argument that Teixeira is a flight risk is that they found a destroyed Xbox, tablet and laptop in a dumpster at his home and say that it shows that he was destroying evidence.
Latest @Newsy + @bellingcat investigation is on Ukraine’s cultural heritage, which has become another front in Russia’s war in Ukraine. @MaximEdwards and I looked at multiple sites that’ve been damaged since the invasion began. Video by @vandiche here:
One particular area that’s been hit hard is the famous Sviatohirsk Lavra near the border of the Donetsk/Kharkiv Oblasts.
The Lavra itself has been shelled at least 3 times since early March and 5 other church buildings associated with the Lavra have been damaged or destroyed.
The first incident was March 12 when a large explosion caused widespread damage at the Lavra.
The Lavra square, near a bridge that spans the Donets River, was the most heavily-affected area and buildings as far away as 250m from that site were damaged.
Quick thread with some previous Tochka uses in Ukraine so far. On February 24 there was evidence of a strike near a hospital in Vuhledar in the Donetsk oblast:
On March 12 Ukraine's National Police shared images of a Tochka tail section saying it was used near Avdiivka just north of Donetsk: facebook.com/UA.National.Po…
