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.

Starting in traditional way with a chance for you to check back through yesterday, in case you missed Orban's undiplomatic words about #Ukraine, the latest big blaze in the series #RussiaOnFire or anything else during Friday.
Speaking about Orbán's stupid remarks, he's not alone in the region with #Russia also having culivated useful political idiots in #Croatia#Slovakia + #Czechia
Hopefully an election in 🇨🇿 today will sideline one more (Babiš) as @motytchak explains here:

1/2 First let's update you on the territorial situation at the front. You probably know I seldom publish or link to maps; to be frank many are guesswork and often out of date.
The British MoD has validated my previous rebuttal of #Russia's claims of gains in #Zaporizhzhia oblast
Thursday 26 January starts with millions in #Ukraine sheltering in bunkers, as waves of drones have been threatening the country and now #Kyiv is under threat
