2 nights ago explosions were reported on Russian territory. The Kremlin said loud sounds at #Yeisk airport, across the water from #Mariupol', were training exercises.
But satellite photos prove large scale fires, though it's not known if planes were hit:

Tonight two people are dead after #Russia struck another apartment block, this time in #Zaporizhzhia
The 5-storey building is almost destroyed. Rescue workers think some people may still be under the rubble.
S-300 missiles were again used.

#Slovakia may be about to send fighter jets to #Ukraine.

Wow! Something's gone wrong with state TV in #Russia
On the (Terrorist) nation's favourite propaganda talk show they discuss the possibility of defeat in the war and even the breakdown of stable society, and no one interrupts!

The total number of dead soldiers of #Russia's army hits the 150,000 mark (#Kyiv estimate)
Over 700 more lives sacrificed by Moscow and 20 APCs being destroyed in the last 24 hours is also a significant number today.

The concept of CCM + ‘bezdorizhzhia’😂are inrtoduced to readers in today's UK Intel update.
The only words I would add are from the other perspective. Mud doesn't help a swift retreat if one should be needed, especially in #Bakhmut where most routes are under Russia fire control

Some strange reports circulating in Russian media right now.
They claim a DRG (sort of army scouts) crossed into #Russia's #Bryansk region, shot at a moving car, killing one person and injuring a child.
Then the 40-strong DRG allegedly took hostages in Sushany village.

#Russia now claiming an electrical substation and a gas station were blown up in #Sushany.
Russian war propagandists say a shootout is happening there now.
Sounds and smells like a provocation.

He added more details would be released later.

This may be interesting..
In #Kyiv a fire has broken out just north of the centre, near a branch of the @Auchannews supermarket.
#Auchan (#Ашан) has been accused of helping #Russia's army in its illegal war.
Not sure yet if there is a connection.

The FSB says it is co-ordinating with the military to liquidate #Ukraine's DRG squad, which they allege crossed the border into #Bryansk and has taken hostages.
#Russia also reports a second child has been shot, this time in Lyubechan.

The "siege" involving #Ukraine soldiers who crossed the Russian border sounds more farcical every minute.
Here's a translation of a new post by Mash.
Suddenly 40-50 soldiers is now 15?
Conveniently for RU CCTV cameras are offline!
I thought schools were on distance learning?

Surreal! But looks like a false flag
Here's a video from #Bryansk region where #Russia said #Ukraine had invaded!
This is supposedly he "Russian Volunteer Corps" (remember them?)
They say they want to prove to the Russian people that there is hope and they can fight the regime"

Russia has injured 9 people queuing for humanitarian aid in #Kherson oblast.
Drones were used to attack #Beryslav and specifically the aid point in the town.
A child is among those receiving treatment.

While #Russia's A-50 air defence plane managed to leave #Belarus today, heading to #Taganrog for repairs, a new video shows how easy it was for protest group BYPOL to damage aircraft there.
This reconnaissance trip saw the drone land right on top of the radar station.

Y'day Russians were annoyed to read Serbia's President say he'd arrest #Wagner volunteers. Today, #Serbia is discussing possibly supplying shells to #Ukraine.
It left Russia's Foreign Ministry, Zakharova shocked, promising "this will definitely affect Serbo-Russian relations."

Ali Express has suddenly blocked all drone orders from the country.

#Russia managed to fly its A-50 radar plane out of #Belarus, to get repaired in #Taganrog
But questions remain about air defence in #Minsk. The partisan group which claimed the drone attack on the airfield showed how they landed on the radar station itself on a previous flight

The damage to the A-50 may have saved #Ukraine from a missile attack this week. Everything seemed to be in place for a joint sea and air cruise missile assault, but maybe #Russia had to call off the operation without protection in the skies.
All round not a good day for #Russia.
This morning a test of a new military transporter aircraft went wrong with the plane crashing on to its hangar, killing one person and the plane destroyed.
Then this evening two military trucks crashing into each other on the Baltic highway

It's gone rather quiet from #Russia about what happened AFTER the so-called #Ukraine terrorist attack in #Bryansk.
The Russian Volunteer Corps is NOT part of Ukraine's armed forces in any way. One high profile figure is a racist Russian who was expelled from Germany.

An explosion in #Moscow region this evening and authorities have no explanation.
The blast happened in #Kolomna and could be heard for miles around. Some residents said they heard a whistle beforehand.
No further details yet.
