"Postal Terrorism" against #Ukraine and its people continues.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recorded 21 cases in 12 countries. It follows the latest incidents in #Czechia where animals' eyes were sent to consulates in Brno + Prague
It's now known there's another explosion at another airfield in #Russia.
Earlier a drone hit a base in #Saratov. Now media report "dead and injured" after an oil tanker exploded at the #Ryazan airfield. One plane was also damaged here.
This instalment comes from north #Moscow where another case of smoking can be seen on the Leningrad Highway.
A blaze broke out on a construction site not far from Sheremetyevo airport. Officials suggested gas cylinders on the roof were burning.
** URGENT **
Mass missile attack may be heading to #Ukraine right now
⚡️Breaking⚡️
#Ukraine's Defence chiefs say 13 planes in #Russia have fired 8 missiles each.
There is the possibility of a further 16 Cruise Missiles being launched from the Black Sea.
Estimated arrival in #Ukraine is in around 15 minutes
How sickening is it? #Ukraine's people running for shelter, knowing they may likely have no power or even water for hours, maybe days. They have to sit and wait for the terrorist state to strike.
Yet they are forbidden to use NATO weapons to hit #Russia's airbases.
Missiles monitored entering #Ukraine airspace.
If the targets are in #Kyiv it will take another 45 minutes to get there - hopefully air defences can take out most, if not all, of the terror objects.
#Ukraine thinks not all missiles were launched from #Russia's bombers. The forecast is that 30-40 may be en route now, but strong chance of further hits from the same bombers, the Black Sea or recently raised jets in Occupied Ukraine
It's being reported some supersonic missiles have been fired by #Russia in today's barrage.
However there is often misinformation at such times - don't jump to conclusions and believe everything you read.
Meanwhile strong fire in #Odesa after strikes there.
Unconfirmed reports of an explosion at #Russia's airfield on occupied #Crimea.
Meanwhile the Terrorist State says work on the Crimea Bridge (#Kerch) has been completed and traffic is flowing freely.
Whether it can stand the weight of military convoys yet remains to be seen.
There is also a report of a Russian missile landing in #Moldova.
Unknown whether it was knocked off course, or if they again decide it was an anti-aircraft missile fired by #Ukraine.
Deleted & updating this tweet:
Photos emerge from northern #Moldova where part of a missile landed during #Russia's attack.
It's near the town of Brychany. Observers think it's an acceleration unit of a S-300 missile. Possibly used by #Ukraine air-defence.
The first wave of #Russia's missile attack is over and the general reaction is that #Ukraine's air defences worked well.
In the eastern #Poltava region alone, six Cruise missiles were intercepted. Probably around 40-50 were fired in this wave, other waves may happen.
President @ZelenskyyUa has praised #Ukraine's Air Defence forces for managing to shoot down most of the Cruise missiles fired by #Russia this lunchtime.
A 🇺🇦Commander has told #Ukraine TV of big developments in #Kherson region
Nikolai Volokhov says #Russia's positions on the left bank came under fire control and were then destroyed. He added the enemy tried to dig into the beach but still got wiped out.
More🇺🇦 flags there soon?
Shelling of #Kherson today saw more residential buildings hit.
This on Admiral Sentavin, a couple of kilometres from downtown.
A warning that for the next few days the updates may be a little slower than normal, or go missing completely - dependent firstly on my travel and secondly on power/connection in #Ukraine.
Today is my first return since February.
Thanks to those who already sent good wishes
It's a special day in #Ukraine too - The Day of the Armed Forces.
There is literally a day for anything and everything (a Soviet relic), but today is very important, especially in current times
To all the heroes, helping the Armed Forces in any way - we salute you. #HeroiamSlava
Again a relatively quite night in the #RussiaUkraineWar. but still news coming up of rocket attacks by Russia and more heavy losses for the invaders.
All the news, all day, in one thread, read on!⬇️
As always, a quick link for yesterday's thread in case you missed anything, such as the #USA naming the #Wagner group and another rebellion among #Russia's newly mobilised (cannon fodder)
I estimated 100,000 Russian soldiers would be killed shortly after the "western"/Catholic Christmas. Now it looks like it will happen just before then as high losses continue for #Russia
As well as another 500+ killed, an uptick in drone hits and a helicopter brought down.
Here is the daily thread for Day 281, with #Russia now 9 months behind schedule in its plan to conquer #Ukraine & kill the democratically elected President.
Thursday's already started violently. News on the latest attack on Ukraine and all the developments in one handy thread⬇️
If you missed anything from yesterday, including evening explosions in occupied #Donetsk, here's the start of Wednesday's thread - scroll through at your leisure!
