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.

Day 1366 of the war in Europe is the start of two days of mourning in a small city in Ukraine which suffered over 160 killed and injured in a single Russia attack 24 hours ago.
As the war crimes mount, Trump approves a mad-hat simpleton's plan to end the war
Here's THE daily🧵
Here's the link for the start of Wednesday's🧵
I posted 65 stories - that equates to a post every 22 minutes throughout the entire 24 hours.
Psychologically a devastating day for Ukraine. Being murdered by Russia, being abandoned by the USA.
A reminder US officials are in Kyiv, due to meet Zelenskyy, when Ukraine's president knows he will have to tell the Americans to shove the surrender document up Witkoff's "White House pass"
Is Rubio undermining the WH plan?
It's certainly not realistic and without 🇷🇺concessions
Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.
All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.
It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning
My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!
Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin
The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.
The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.
But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia
It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!
Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353
Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue
It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
Here's the link for Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw Ukraine inflict a fair amount of damage on Russia's energy sector and the crisis is nearing for Putin as it cannot export oil.
The energy crisis for Ukraine is about people surviving winter:
Welcome to November, which becomes the 46th different month to see fighting in Ukraine
And yet Russia is nowhere near its aim of Kyiv in 3 days.
Indeed 1,344 days behind schedule as we start today's thread on Day 1347 of the full invasion
Please think about sending a KoFi💙💛
Friday saw a lot of damage in Russia, an attempted counter-attack in Pokrovsk, Trump blank Orbán, power cuts in Moscow and so much more.
