The biggest event overnight happened in #Russia's #Krasnodar region.
Drones hit the Afipsky Oil Refinery and a fire soon took hold, although it's since been extinguished; no-one was hurt.
About 150km from the front, that's less fuel helping Russia kill Ukrainians.

While the 10 hours of today so far have been fairly quiet in #Ukraine, there are still unseen horrors happening.
This is a very good thread about why everyone around the world, in #Russia and elsewhere, has to speak up.

The Mayor of #Russia's #Belgorod region announces they are moving children out of villages near the border with #Ukraine.
It comes after heavy shelling last night - the number injured has been revised up from 2 to 4, none seriously.
Cars and some buildings were damaged.

#Russia says an attack on a substation in the #Kursk region failed.
For some reason they only just released details of the drone attack 22 hours after the incident. A drone dropping explosives onto the target in Gordeevka, but remarkably it remained undamaged😉

Sad to see #Georgia's government continue to spout #Russia's fake narratives.
As former British ambassador @alexhallhall points out, they betray the people.
Thank goodness only one more year of these RU puppets in Tblisi.

Occupiers in #Luhansk say five people were killed and 19 injured in a #Ukraine attack on a poultry farm.
I assume it relates to this video as a man outside #Alchevsk counts the number of explosions in the city. He reaches six.

#EATP for #Russia's 3-day plan to take #Kyiv.
So much so that they've just blown up a road at the intersection of #Russia #Belarus and #Ukraine
Just inside the Russian border, this measure was taken for safety reasons to stop an invasion!

"Calendar Man" is back and you know what that means!
He's at the scene of the shelling in #Luhansk I wrote about earlier. It is the same attack, in #Karpati, just north of #Alchevsk.
Looks like #HIMARS have been hard at work on #Russia's troops.

The Kremlin says "as a result of an attack on the parking lot of warships in #Odesa, the last warship of the Ukrainian Navy, Yuriy Olefirenko, was destroyed."
They say it happened on Monday.

Tank shelling is said to have hit the Pogar automobile checkpoint. The Duty Free store and the screening box were the only signs of damage say the Russians. There were no casualties.

#Russia alleges a British drone was fired at them.
This Malloy Aeronautics T150 was "shot down" in the #Kursk region.
Russia says the UK sent this model only to deliver goods to soldiers on the frontline. But this one was fixed with explosives according to the Terrorist State.

#Russia is outraged that someone has stolen a painting from a church in #Moscow
But why weren't they outraged when invaders stole it from #Ukraine?
Mother of God was painted in 2011 in #Khartsyzsk in #Donetsk. It was undamaged but stolen from there 22 days ago + taken to Moscow

Reported in #Russia that the explosives in the drones which hit apartment buildings in #Moscow, did not detonate because they were not the real targets.
In its evening update, #Ukraine's Gen Staff report
Aviation made 9 strikes on #Russia' soldiers and equipment.
2 reconnaissance drones were destroyed.
Artillery and rockets hit a RU control post, an artillery unit, 2 ammo dumps and 2 electronic warfare stations.

Following the last mass missile attack, #Russia claimed they'd hit #Ukraine's Military Intel HQ in #Kyiv.
This video's appeared, showing a rocket landing in the water near the bridge leading to Rybalsky Island, where the Security Service is based...

However, I think this video's been tampered with. I watched frame by frame.
Pic 1 shows no missile
Pic 2 a faint version of the rocket (this was static for 2 frames actually)
Pic 3 the rocket in same position but now clear to see
Pic 4 the explosion
No other rocket movement

Any thoughts on this from better video editors/sleuths than me, more than welcome.
Because if it is a fake I see either:
1) The HQ was hit, Ukr trying to prove it wasn't
2) The HQ was not hit, RU putting out a crappy video so we come to conclusion #1

More blatant lies from #Russia
Despite photgraphic evidence and witness testimony, the Kremlin says it has never deployed military equipment at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
In a statement they also say #Ukraine "blocked all initiatives of the IAEA to strengthen security"

We shouldn't be surprised at the lies. After all they had 5 different fake versions of what happened to passenger jet #MH17 when they murdered 300.

5 drones shot down over #Mykolaiv earlier.
Some shelling in #Kherson and #Kramatorks in the last hour or two, and that counts as a quiet night for #Ukraine so far.
So I'll finish this thread and bid you all good night💙💛
