Day 234 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine.

You've found the start of the daily news thread.
I'll update when I can, but it's a travel day for me.

#StopRussia

This morning an explosion was heard in #Kyiv oblast, outside of the city centre.

No further details known yet.

#StandWithUkraine️

British Intelligence continues to paint a damning assessment of the battle preparedness of #Russia's army.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine

During the night two citizens were injured in the regular bombing of #Nikopol and surrounding towns.

Nikopolska, Marhanetska and Chervonohryhorivska were all hit.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine️

#Russia has again attacked industrial and energy infrastructure in #Zaporizhzhia. Due to reporting restrictions only photos of this type are allowed yet.

The blast wave damaged 21 apartment buildings, 15 private buildings and a school.

No casualties.

Yesterday evening I wrote about explosions in #Melitopol, which the Occupiers passed off as shooting down #Ukraine drones.

Now the exiled Mayor of the city says they hit a Russian military base with 4 powerful explosions felt throughout Melitopol.

#RussiansGoHome

Igor Strelkov/Girkin played a major role in 2014 invasion of #Ukraine. He's also on international wanted list for shooting down MH17, killing 300 innocents.

Now he's supposedly a volunteer soldier

A prominent Ukraine patriot offers $10k for his capture.

A military commissar in the far east of #Russia has apparently committed suicide.

But local officials don't believe he ended his own life. It's reported his town suffered a lot of losses.

#Kyiv and #Chernihiv residents are expected to suffer electricity outages after #Russia's attack in Kyiv region earlier.

More energy infrastructure was hit.

#RussiaOnFire

Someone's firebombed the military enlistment office in Cherkessk. The town is less than 200km from #Russia's border with #Georgia.

A gesture of goodwill from the locals😜

Messed up the thread again, so linking to this here...

For the fourth time in 24 hours, explosions in #Belgorod.

Previously #Russia's authorities have tried to blame "accidents" but this time air defence was trying to shoot things down.

Looking at the oil terminal, seems they failed.

#StandWithUkraine️ #SlavaUkraini

Seen in #Crimea

Resistance movement is getting more confident and visible.

#SlavaUkraini #CrimeaIsUkraine

Mobilisation in action.

Well they're resurrecting ancient equipment... So maybe no surprise #Russia issued draft papers to a 71 year old man!

Spot a trend here?
For the second time in 3 days a Russian with a drone has been arrested in #Norway

He's accused of illegally flying the UAV. On his camera #Tromso police found footage of sensitive sites such as the airport and defence helicopters

Earlier this week a 51 yo Russian was detained by police in #Norway after "filming all over the country" with two drones, He has 4TB of encrypted material.

They won't be alone - I seriously hope all western Intelligence agencies are on a high level of alert.

⚡️Breaking⚡️

"Many" dead in shooting incident on Russian military training ground.

Around 12 people have died in the Valuyksky district of #Belgorod. Some Russians say 3 "terrorists" opened fire on soldiers. The perpetrators were likely killed along with 9-10 Russian soldiers.

#Russia's Defence Ministry has just confirmed 11 people died, 15 injured as a result of "a terrorist attack at a training ground in #Belgorod."
Two 'terrorists' were destroyed by return fire.

"During a training session with volunteers, terrorists fired small arms at personnel."

The Kremlin says the killing of 11 people in a shoot out at a military base in #Belgorod region was carried out by "two nationals of a CIS country"

Remarkably they don't blame Ukraine... yet, but probably the west or Ukraine put them up to it!

Earlier today in the #Moscow region there was a major blaze.
It happened at the construction site of a new apartment block. There were no reported casualties, but the possibility of arson (or someone smoking!) is high.

#RussiaOnFire #StandWithUkraine

Do they know something we don't?
#China has tonight told its citizens to leave #Ukraine.

Surprised they hadn't already. So why now?
#Ukraine's counter attack in #Kherson about to spark chaos?
#Putin going for the unthinkable?

#StopPutin #RussiaIsATerroristState

Update on #Belgorod shooting:

11 Russian soldiers and 2 attackers died in the shoot out at the military training ground.

One line of thinking is that the gunmen were Tajiks, angry at religious insults. UNCONFIRMED.

#StopRussia

A few days ago I showed a photograph of these things being transported in occupied areas of #Ukraine

Now this is the major part of #Russia's defence in some areas of the #Luhanks border.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome

Something burns in occupied #Donetsk tonight.

This is the Azotny district.
