So a lot of speculation that the drone which hit an #Iran MOD plant came from #Azerbaijan.
Some channels say yesterday there was apparently an attack on the Azeri embassy there, while today staff appear to be packing up and leaving, though this video is a bit sketchy.
My best guess at this stage is the fires and explosions in the north are purely down to the earthquake.
The strike on #Iran's Ministry of Defence factory is probably not part of a wide attack as most media are speculating.
There are unconfirmed reports of explosions in #Iran at military bases in Hamadan and Kereja.
Another drone factory is also said to have been hit, but again I have no confirmation.
#Iran says 3 people died in the earthquake in #Khoy in the north-west of the country.
Meanwhile the Iranian regime says 3 drones were shot down.

Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack.
Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine
Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial
More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.
I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..
Day 1201 of Europe's war.
But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet.
Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help.
Welcome to the🧵
Maybe Sunday will bless Ukraine with a quiet day?

Not long afterwards, Ukraine hit another facility, this time in Russia-controlled 🇺🇦
This is the Hydromash factory in Melitopol' in occupied Zaporizhzhia.
Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.

Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.
Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
