A lucky escape for two children in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
A rocket hit their house and this wall collapsed on them, but the 3 and 15 year old boys escaped serious injury. It happened this morning in the village of Komyshuvakha.
There's a little propaganda in this article I saw in Ukrainian media. However, I do agree that #Russia's economy is in danger of falling off a cliff edge in the next few months, and it may have already started (Google translates it well)
Another car bomb explodes in #Melitopol'
It has happened right in the centre, near the park according to multiple sources.
No further details yet on who the target is/was.
It's getting mighty hot for the Occupiers there now. #SlavaUkraini
This new footage just in from overnight hits on the Occupiers in the town in the part of #Zaporizhzhia oblast controlled by Moscow.
President @ZelenskyyUa has posted a message from his office in #Kyiv to show he is back home after the trip to USA and a stop off in Poland (to switch to train or car)
So no visit to London yet, which was talked about.
Zelenskyy wishes everyone good health and on to victory!
First picture of the car bomb blast in occupied #Melitopol'
Another #RussiaOnFire story in #Moscow and another "misfortune" at a security services base.
This time a fire at the hated OMON building of the Russian Guard in #Moscow. Officials say "a fire broke out on the 7th floor in a room for storing bulletproof vests"
Likely sabotage!
A couple of projects I worked on banned the use of Chinese mobiles for security reasons.
Now it's reported (By @nytimes) that TikTok owner ByteDance admits its employees illegally obtained data of a number of users of the social network, including two journalists.
UPDATE:
Two FSB agents have been seriously injured in the car bomb attack by Ukraine partisans in #Melitopol
They are said to be seriously injured, so a high chance both are already dead.
The explosion caused by an IED, happened next to Gorky Park in the town centre.
At a time when #Ukraine is receiving more weapons from allies than ever before, #Putin mouthpiece Peskov was asked about the goal of 'demilitarising Ukraine'
Rolex boy said “we can state there is significant progress along this path”
I assume negative progress?😂😂
A short video from the scene of the car bomb blast in #Melitopol where it's thought at least one FSB officer has been killed by #Ukraine Partisans.
Occupiers' bases have frequently been hit in the coastal town. More and more stories of military taking over tourist hotels and resorts as bases and also emergency hospitals.
One member of the Foreign Legion fighting for #Ukraine, releases a video of the "hell on earth" that #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) has become.
Free #Kherson continues to be pummeled.
Fire after an explosion.
Over 100 Russians are complaining after being told they have 5 days to close their accounts with the National Bank of Georgia.
No official reason is given, but there seems to be a new policy in place.
The IAEA says it is ready to place permanent missions at all #Ukraine's nuclear power plants, as well as in the area of the Chornobyl plant and exclusion zone.
Due to the energy crisis in #Kyiv, all trams and trolleybuses are being stopped.
Regular buses will run instead on all routes and the metro is still working too, with 50 of the 52 stations open.
World leading architect Lord Norman Foster is continuing his work with #Kharkiv city leaders.
The Briton is giving his time and skills for free in redesigning #Ukraine's second city after it was shattered by #Russia.
Lord Foster plans no skyscrapers, 6-7 storeys max.
Quite a lot of shelling today in occupied #Donetsk. Mostly in the morning and then a few more so far this evening.
This used to be a hardware store in the Kyivskyi district.
#Ukraine Telegram channels report air defence and explosions on #Crimea.
This is said to have been filmed near an oil depot in the village of Razlyvy in the east of the occupied territory.
For the record I'm not convinced this is from Crimea.
At the "All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys" a big warehouse caught light. Propane and acetyl gas cylinders ensured there was quite a spectacle for locals.
13 people have died in a blaze at what's said to be an illegal nursing home.
The 2nd floor of the building in #Keremovo was completely destroyed by fire. 20 guests were rescued.
Officials say the cause was "improper use of a furnace"

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120
Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.
Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.
I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:
It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK
Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)
#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliation
Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.
This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.
Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.
This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.
More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.
A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:
Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.
As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?
Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.
If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:
1/2 The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.
Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."
Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.
Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.
On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:
