Straight to the news from #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) which has been attacked by cruise missiles this morning.
One person's known to be dead and 23 injured after one of #Russia's Black Sea fleet fired on the peaceful city in southern #Ukraine, hitting an apartment block.
#Russia's losses a little higher in terms of equipment today but a little lower in terms of body bags.
Last night I reported on an explosion in St Petersburg
It's been revealed it was at an abandoned thermal power plant, leaving a crater 6m wide.
No-one can find out how it happened! One local official thinks it may have been a Second World War bomb exploding. #StopRussia
The adviser to #Ukraine's President says this morning's attack by #Russia on #Mykolaiv may have been an angry response to Zelenskyy's long conversation with #China's Pres. Xi
@Podolyak_M also says the Kremlin kills just because it can, with impunity.
#Ukraine's Resistance claims to have killed two more invaders.
The "ATESH" movement calls it operation "Ukrainian Night" - a translation of the original post is attached.
They claim it's punishment for maltreatment of civilians in #Kherson region, but nothing can be verified.

We've reached Day 1228. Every Single Day
Fact checked and analysis by a professional journalist with Ukraine expertise.
I've literally just finished Friday's thread, with an extraordinary flurry of late news from inside Russia rounding off another bumper thread, stretching to 60 posts.
A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.
With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.
Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv
Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.
From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.
Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.
Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.
I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets
Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.
It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill.
