A school in the Kalininsky district of #Donetsk has been hit by shelling.
Looks like targeted strikes but not with the most destructive rockets. Obviously at a weekend and early in the morning no one should be around - but #Russia's troops often use schools as military bases.
One place where #Russia has made a little ground is near #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk).
Invaders have been on the eastern outskirts of the city for weeks without progress. But they're now moving in from the south too.
#Russia's Ministry of Transport has issued the following statement:
"The movement of freight and passenger trains on the #Crimea Bridge is on schedule, suburban traffic will be fully restored at 19.00"
Here's a riddle. When is a TV tower fire not a fire?
Answer: when it's in #Moscow
Something that looks distinctly like a fire or at least sparks shooting from the TV tower in #Russia's capital. The Fire Dept attended and said there is no fire!
When we talked about #Russia sending cannon fodder and cattle to the frontline, I didn't really think they'd transport the forcibly mobilised like cows.
Don't know about you, but I'm a bit disappointed this time the FSB's super quick solving of a complex case didn't involve a 12 year old girl from #Ukraine!
Reports circulating among pro-Russians that the invaders have hit a major railway hub in #Pavlograd in #Dnirpopetrovsk region. They also claim secondary explosives indicating perhaps hitting weapons or ammo.
I've searched. Locals say one explosion, and #Ukraine says air defence

A new week in #Russia's deadly war on #Ukraine and this morning explosions have returned to the capital #Kyiv two days after the #Kerch bridge from #Crimea was hit.
This is Daily thread number 229. All the news in one place, and here's the link for y'day
The criticism from some about #Russia's war effort is very much controlled and serves a purpose.
For a start everything Kadyrov does is for Putin - his father was a traitor who switched sides in the Chechen wars. #StopRussia
Following Boxing's Governing Body taking the incredulous decision to readmit fighters from #Russia and #Belarus, the sport could be heading for a split.
#Sweden outright refuses to attend any tournament featuring boxers from 🇷🇺or🇧🇾. The next event is in Montenegro next week!
Apologies again for slow updates and responses, I am commentating on tennis most of the day again.
Doing my best!
The daily British Intel update shows why #Russia is continuing to panic. There's quite widespread acknowledgement in the Russian media now that #Ukraine has made advances, increasing the realisation that mobilisation will spread and the war will now touch most people's lives
