#Ukraine's air defence says #Russia probably used cruise missiles of the X-101/555 type for this morning's attack on '#Kyiv.
Reconaissance drones were spotted over the capital just before the missiles were launched.

Daily losses for #Russia show an incredible haul of artillery systems in the last 24 hours. 32 units destroyed, which is 4.5 times the daily mean.
Elsewhere numbers a little lower than in recent days. All figures estimated by #Ukraine.

The part of #Moldova occupied by #Russia is claiming there'll be a destabilisation throughout the country after government forces removed ballot boxes from an illegal election.

1950s mash-up!
#Russia looks to have welded a 1950s S-60 caliber canon onto the chassis of the T-55 tank, which entered the Soviet army in 1958.

More good news from #Bakhmut.
Spokesman for #Ukraine's army in the east, Serhiy Cherevaty says "during the day (we), advanced from 150 to 1,700 meters in the direction of Bakhmut'
He noted that this is despite not having an advantage in terms of personnel.

Correction:
Thanks to everyone who pointed out my mistake earlier in the thread.
Gagauzia region of #Moldova is autonomous and very pro-Russian, but not officially part of Transnistria.

The self-declared (illegal) "president" of #Belarus says #Ukraine refused to sign a peace deal which was "sat on his desk."
Translation of his words here. Later the irony as Lukashenka referred to Kyiv's leaders as illegitimate, despite ignoring his own 2020 election defeat.

While #Ukraine makes ground around the flanks of #Bakhmut' the city itself is on the verge of being lost according to Bild.
#Wagner continues to move forward, but with higher ground Ukraine will hope to trap #Russia's mercenaries.

Convicted terrorist Igor Girkin, who was found guilty of shooting down the MH17 passenger jet, has launched another scathing attack on #Russia's military leadership.
Looks like he's angling for a cabinet position in Prigozhin's next government!

There is still intense bias/censorship in #Ukraine's media. Despite being free they are not fair.
For example, donations from Rinat Akhmetov get a lot of coverage.
Yet this donation from previous President Poroshenko got zero coverage yesterday. Why?

"...significant stocks of #Ukraine's weapons + ammunition were destroyed, and the advancement of reserves to the combat areas was prevented.

A person's thought to be under rubble after #Russia's rockets hit #Kharkiv.
The video shows a huge crater - it says in Danylivka on the outskirts of the city, but residents say it was in the nearby village of Tsyrkuny.
A private house was badly damaged.

The Vatican reports that Papal envoys will travel to both Moscow and Kyiv in a bid to advance peace talks.
Remember, peace is easy. Leave the occupied lands and stop aggression.
Wonder what #Russia's reaction will be when #China enters the far east to liberate territory?

#Ukraine's army continues to report good news from #Bakhmut today
Although it cannot be confirmed, it's in complete contrast to the prediction from Bild (see earlier in thread)
The 3rd separate assault brigade says it broke through a 2km strip of #Russia's defences, 700m deep.

There may be yet another railway sabotage in #Russia.
All we know so far is that 5 wagons of a freight train have derailed at the Kamarchaga-Balay stretch in the #Krasnoyarsk Territory, almost 4000km east of Moscow.
Investigations into the cause are ongoing.

More allegations from the governor of #Belgorod
He claims two people died "when they were in the garden and planting potatoes" in the village of Nizhnee Berezovo in the Shebekinsky district.
No photos and no proof who fired what but they obviously blame #Ukraine.

I was just beginning to think we may get through an entire thread without the appearance of ROF!
But then this fiery blaze popped up in #Kaluga. It seems unrelated to the recent wildfires in the region. This is a storage unit said to contain plastic furniture.

Two big stories from #Norway this evening.
#Russia has confirmed that the supposed #Wagner defector wants to return home. The embassy in #Oslo has confirmed Andrey Medvedev has been in touch.
So was he a spy? Is he being forced? Will Norway charge him?

#Russia complains #Ukraine has again attacked a village in #Belgorod oblast this evening.
This time they say Shatalovka was hit. Mash says locals "heard a loud sound before the explosions."
There's a big crater with a diameter of over 10 metres.
No injuries reported.

First picture from the scene of the derailment in #Krasnoyarsk region of #Russia.
5 wagons overturned in the Mansky district shortly after 8pm local time.
Still no word on the cause, so the likelihood of sabotage increases.
