In #Kyiv region, one Telegram channel posted this from #Boyarka, a small town about 25km south-west of downtown Kyiv.
They claim it's one of the #Iran-made attack drones being shot down. I'm not convinced by the audio alone.

Anger in #Germany tonight over Spiegel/ZDF reporting a 🇩🇪 comany probably supplied fuel which helped #Russia's jets bomb #Dnipro 12 days ago, when nearly 50 citizens were killed.
They say Wintershell Dea, via a joint venture with Gazprom, supplied paraffin for many attacks.

Wow, video of an explosion from somewhere in #Kyiv
In the next tweet I'll post individual frames of the video to show more clearly what's happened.

So here are the three key frames from the video.
There is a blast on the horizon.
Maybe unconnected, an air defence missile races close to the person filming.
The missile presumably hits a drone - and at low level by the look of it

Video now of the blast in #Obukhiv, about 50km south of #Kyiv.
To my untrained eye this also looks like a moped being shot down.

The air raid warning continues in #Kyiv and some other regions. Local authorities in the capital report air defence has worked perfectly so far.
Just the one known "hit" so far, occurring in #Dnipro region earlier when a business was struck, either by a drone or debris from one.

EIGHT of #Russia's Iran made killer drones have been shot down in #Kyiv region.
The current wave seems to be nearly over. Fingers crossed.

The fear to me is that shortly before the previous mass cruise missile attack, #Russia launched attack drones on #Ukraine, presumably to identify air defence sites.
So there is an increased risk of a serious attack later today.

Thank you to "moot" who's bought me a coffee and sent me a nice message too, via the link on my profile page. One of my regular supporters.
I couldn't devote this much time without your support.

Proud to announce I've been invited on to a panel for a live online event due to be hosted by The @Independent next month. It's to mark the anniversary of the start of #Russia's illegal war.
More details in 3 weeks or so including registration details once everything is confirmed

After the drone was hit at low altitude in #Obukhiv, shrapnel damaged at least one apartment in the town south of #Kyiv.
The owner says one hole started burning, so they doused it with water.

Good news of what should be a chance to make #Russia pay for its terrorist attack on #MH17, the passenger airliner shot down over #Donetsk 8.5 years ago.
However, will it really lead to anything?

Finally #Kyiv can sleep. At quarter to four the all-clear sounds.
The air alarm was briefly switched off about 40 minutes ago, but was hastily switched back on with one of two more drones spotted, but they no longer pose a threat.

#Russia's missiles are heading into #Ukraine right now.
Cruise missiles launched from the Caspian Sea region are in Ukraine's air space.
This is exactly what I predicted a few hours ago.

Four #Russia¦n bombers over #Crimea expected to launch more missiles.
Some reports #Kyiv air defence has knocked out one missile.

All the first four categories in this table today are well above average. 3 more aircraft also downed in the last 24 hours according to #Kyiv.
#Russia has now lost almost 124,000 soldiers in the war after another 780 are thought to have died in the last 24 hours.

#Kyiv's air defence meanwhile confirms 15 UAVs were shot down in the night.
As I wrote then, it was likely testing #Ukraine to reveal air defences. Many of #Russia's missiles flying now now will likely be trained on those air defences.

Another sacking in #Ukraine
Pres Zelenskyy's Servant of the People party has dismissed Mykola Tyshchenko as Deputy Chair of the party and expelled him.
Tyshchenko went to Thailand "to improve relations" after Zelenskyy banned officials from travelling abroad without permission.

Yesterday a camel bit a Russian to death.
Today news that a dog has killed another Russian.
But the husky didn't mess around with attacking or biting. This smart canine just shot the fisherman dead in #Tobolsk. His owner has been charged with the death due to negligence.
