Reports of Explosions and Military Aircraft over the City of Billings, Montana around an hour ago; this is very close to where the Chinese High-Altitude Surveillance Balloon was spotted yesterday.
According to some Ukrainian Sources they have received Intelligence that Russian Forces are preparing to begin a Large Counteroffensive near the City of Kreminna with the push being led by the 76th Guards Air Assault Division supported by Light and Heavy Armor.
This Counteroffensive will most likely be an attempt to halt the Ukrainian Offensive which has been putting pressure on Russian Forces in Kreminna for the last month or so and also to try to Capture the area to North of the City of Siversk.
Wagner Forces are also now Claiming to have Captured the Town of Sol’ to the North of Bakhmut; this picture was said to have been taken a few hours ago in front of the Town Hall.
If Sol’ has indeed been Captured this essentially cuts off Bakhmut from the City of Sivers'k utilizing the T0513 Highway.
The picture actually appears to show them in front of the Train Station in the Center of Sol’ not the Town Hall like originally thought.
Last night at around 3am a number of Large Explosions occurred at the Sevastopol Naval Yard from what the Russian Military is calling the “Largest Drone Attack since the War began”, there is still a good bit of Unconfirmed Information but I’m going to try and clear some stuff up.
So from what we know so far the Attack included around 9 UAVs and at least 7 UUVs which struck a Storage Site at Sevastopol Naval Yard igniting Munitions/Fuel Supplies in the area, it also appears as though the Russian Minesweeper “Ivan Golubets” was hit by an Explosion as well.
There are also Unconfirmed Reports that the Russian Navy Frigate “Admiral Makarov” and possibly a number of other Russian Navy Ships in Port were destroyed in the Attack, although so far we have not seen any Evidence to these Claims though that could change.
North Korea has reportedly launched an Unknown Missile heading toward the direction of Hokkaido, Japan; all citizens in the Region are urged to take get inside and go to the lowest part of buildings.
The South Korean Defense Ministry is reporting that this could be an ICBM or IRBM Launch intended to land to the East of Japan in the Pacific.
There is possibility there could be more than one Missile Launched, multiple Missile Alerts for different Regions are being broadcasted across Japanese Television.
Although this Tweet Thread may anger a number of people I still feel like it needs to be said, the Russian Military is still holding back in Ukraine and if they truly wished they could use Strategic Bombing and WMDs to more than likely end this War within 24-48 hours.
The reason they have not yet done this may vary from not wanting to cause an Unacceptable Level of Civilian Casualties to possibly not wanting to test if NATO would respond if pushed far enough.
Whether they will reach the point where they believe that these sort of Extreme Measures need to be taken is currently up in the air, but as Russian Forces get pushed more towards the Border and Ukrainian Forces begin to target positions in Russia Proper it become more likely.
