This is the moment an #Iran made kamikaze drone his #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) tonight.
A large fire is reported, but authorities are not giving any details yet.
They fear a second wave of drones could be launched by #Russia. Now the immediate danger passed.
Regional Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz says explosives were dropped from UAVs on the Military Commissariat and the Ministry of Internal Affairs buildings. A local channel shows some damage nearby:
The all clear has just been given for #Odesa/#Odessa
There has been more anti-aircraft fire in the last 30 minutes. Meanhile photos are emerging of the fire raging in the Raiduzhnyi area.
Britain's MoD Intel report today returns to the rift between the #Wagner group and #Russia's Government.
And as I read this, I have to remind myself that mercenaries are still illegal in Russia. Putin and his cronies have stopped even trying to pretend they obey laws.
I've been chasing reports of a possible attack in #Crimea overnight. Many #Ukraine channels are writing about explosions around 2am in #Armyansk.
Supposedly an abandoned farmhouse used by #Russia's soldiers was hit.
However I can find no verification.
"Fake divorce" so Russian deputy Defence Minister's wife can carry on partying in Europe.
But look at the figures and outrageous disparity with salary. Why do Russians just accept this theft of their money by greedy, bloodthirsty Putin slaves?
Confirmation here from councillors in #Khmelnytskyi that the Moscow-aligned church is being kicked out of the city.
By a unanimous vote they deprived the UOC-MP of the right to use 13 plots of land, including the church where a #Ukraine soldier was beaten a few days ago.
#Ukraine's Armed Forces is celebrating the capture of #Russia's all-terrain vehicle DT-10 "Vityaz"
It's a rare specimen and it's original design for use in the Arctic could serve well on the wetlands of east #Ukraine in the next few weeks after repairs.
Ealier today a blaze in a warehouse in St.Petersburg raised interest. It's said to be on the territory of the Petrograd production and procurement enterprise.
Not sure what they make or store, but it's near the railway and another hangar was also destroyed.
Here's video of Dariya Trepova being taken back to a prison cell after her court hearing earlier today, following the explosion which killed Prigozhin ally Tatarsky.
Trepova was remanded for 2 months by the St Petersburg court.
Bombs have been dropped by one of #Russia's Su-35 aircraft on a village in #Chernihiv region this evening.
A private house and farm buildings in the #Pechenyuhy settlement were hit. A local man suffered moderate wounds according to medics who are operating on him now.
#Russia's little known "National Republican Army" assumed responsibility for the murder of Vladlen Tatarsky.
This is the same group which claimed to have killed Dugina.
Incidentally after that statement the group urged the public to support Dariya Trepova, the young woman accused of the crime.
The NRA describes her as a hero and never once say she is innocent, or framed.
Remember she sat in the cafe just metres away from the explosive device.
"I feel terrible" - Bill Clinton regrets encouraging #Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons.
The USA and UK signed an agreement with Ukraine and Russia guaranteeing Ukrainian borders.
Ukraine lost its nukes and larges swathes of territory and US and UK did nothing until Feb'22.
