SitRep - 16/10 - "OPSEC BLACKOUT"

An overview of events in the war between 🇺🇦 and 🇷🇺. Today we are not zooming in on individual areas due to a request from the #AFU not to share detailed info about the frontlines. I will comply with that request.

Godspeed #Kherson 🇺🇦✊

1/X

We start our SitRep as usual with an overview of #Russian losses, per 16/10. We have reached the 65.000 mark in men losses. A bizarre number.

Today 11 Shahed-136 kamikaze drones were shot down. A couple hit targets in Mykolaiv, Odesa and Kharkiv.

The hitrate of cruise missiles and drones gets higher and higher.

Early this morning, #Donetsk was awakened by an attack on the local administration office. The building was hit by #HIMARS rockets and is heavily damaged.

No speeches in here anymore for Denis Pushilin and his terrorist comrades. ✊🇺🇦

Then briefly after this attack, also #Belgorod became a target. Multiple locations were attacked. We include video footage of (what looks to be) a BUK-1 engaging a missile, missing it and getting destroyed by the same missile. Probably an AGM-88 HARM.

Then news about the alliance 🇷🇺🇮🇷. Today became clear that #Iran intends to supply #Russia with short range ballistic missiles Fateh-110. Iran is positioning itself as a clear aggressor and enemy of Ukraine in this war. Earlier 🇮🇷 supplied kamikaze drones washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

A lot happened in regards to #Belarus

➡️Russian MiG-31s were active over the skies of Belarus.
➡️It became clear that within a short period of time, the total of 9000 Russian troops will be stationed in Belarus due to the joint forces group.
➡️ A lot of equipment on the move...

➡️Belarus 1 (TV) stated that a series of terrorist attacks were prevented in Belarus, several people were detained. Blaming Poland and Ukraine for it.
➡️Equipment on the move in #Belarus all hold a new strategic mark. That mark is being posted by a lot of Russian milbloggers also

➡️The Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of #Belarus Vadim: by order of the President, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations will perform the tasks of maintaining order and protecting the country in the event of mass riots or armed conflict.

I have a bad premonition about the situation with #Belarus. #Lukashenko can't afford to go to war militarily at all, but if #Putin's hot breath hangs down his neck, I'm afraid he'll give in in exchange for protection.

In any case, it will be Lukashenko's downfall if he does it.

Other news came from #Kherson.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Russia is evacuating all state institutions like banks etc. in #Kherson region to #Crimea. They're gearing up for a possible breakthrough of the AFU towards Kherson.

Also partisans in #Kherson spread leaflets in certain villages like #TomynaBalka and #Kizomys, Advising locals to flee for upcoming offensives.

Today we got info about Igor Girkin, former defense minister in the so called DPR, butcher of Slavyansk. His wife confirmed he went to 🇺🇦 fighting for a volunteer unit. The AFU has put a price of $100.000 on his head if you catch and deliver him to Ukrainian authorities.

That's all for today. If you like my reporting and mapping you can support me via buymeacoffee.com/noelreports.
