The trend of slightly lower losses for #Russia continued yesterday. The data released by #Kyiv today show 430 more dead invaders and 5 more drones, but nothing especially noteworthy in the figures.
Tomorrow may be slightly higher after a number of hits reported on Russian bases.
Britain's daily update highlights a dilemma facing #Russia, while also confirming the hurried extra defensive actions taken to protect the northern "border" of occupied #Zaporizhzhia.
It's a morning of cleaning up in many parts of #Ukraine after the attacks in many regions by #Russia's illegal invading forces.
In #Zaporizhzhia casualties and damage are still being "quantified" after local officials report the use of cluster munitions on the city's outskirts.
But one of the suspected hits on #Russia's forces also came in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
At the Hydromash plant in #Melitopol' the sounds of explosions and the roar of the fire was heard for "several hours" by locals.
Smoke is still visible this morning.
Following the incendiary munitions used on #Kherson (video in yesterday's thread), locals have been collecting evidence from the streets of the city which was liberated just under 2 months ago.
Last night I also reported on a fire at a transformer substation in #Kursk region. Some doubted the photo evidence of the strike inside #Russia, so now here's a video.
It's from #Mokva about 100 miles/160km from the border with #Ukraine.
This explosion in the southern state of #Dagestan injured 5 people.
Although many here want independence, and #Russia brutally put down a 1999 uprising, this does seem likely to be a gas explosion as local officials report.
Fire ravaged the "Double Joy" cafe in the town of #Nyagan in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug.
No reason to think this is suspicious.
More now from #Russia's use of incendiary weapons in #Kherson last night.
This video is conclusive evidence that another war crime was committed. The fact the person filming just slides open the window in their flat shows civilian areas were targeted.
#Ukraine's air defence says it has shot down another Russian helicopter today.
They don't say where the downing of the Ka-52 happened, but the "central" team was mentioned.
Earlier the "east" command downed one of #Russia's reconnaissance drones over #Dnipropetrovsk region.
In #Kyiv people came to remember those killed when #Iran shot down a Ukraine Airlines passenger jet exactly two years ago.
176 people on board when the terrible accident occurred.
More scorn poured on the Kremlin's lies...
As I wrote earlier, #Russia pretended it had killed 600 #Ukraine soldiers in #Kramatorsk.
There were no reports of sirens or panic last night on chat sites, and journalists at the scene refute Russia's claims.
It's reported that #Russia shot dead 6 of its soldiers who were going to surrender in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
#Ukrine's General Staff reports the incident, which it says happened 3 days ago near Chistopilla.
The Occupiers deployed Russian Guard units to "maintain discipline"
Yet another strike by #Ukraine's military on a collection of #Russia's troops.
They tried to hush it up, but RU propagandist Anatoliy Shariy confirms around 100 more new forcibly mobilised were liquidated in #Lantrativka in #Luhansk region, just 3km from the Russian border.
Plus ca change!
"They still do not value human life in the same way we do"
The words of Maggie Thatcher talking about #Putin 21 years ago
If you know anyone in the Occupied zone, particularly in #Zaporizhzhia (RU: #Zaporozhe) please forward them this picture. It is a fake message, a war-time "catfish" attempt to snare members of #Ukraine's Resistance.
This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.
Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

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:
