Good news is just coming in from #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) where it seems to be quiet now.
There were reported to be three targets - all three may have been shot down. I'm not hearing of damage yet.
#Zaporizhzhia and other regions on the border or near the front line remain at risk of S-300 bombing.
But for now it looks like the 3 or 4 cruise missiles launched by #Russia have been dealt with.
One explosion heard in #Zaporizhzhia, hopefully it's also air defence taking out one of #Russia's S-300s fired on the innocents.
Here's the current map of air alerts in #Ukraine approaching 03:00 there.
The all clear is being given in all regions of #Ukraine I understand.
Meanwhile in occupied #Zaporizhzhia, reports of a big explosion near #Tokmak. Just guessing, but it seems likely to me that #Ukraine worked out where S-300s were fired from and hit the launch team.
Good night
#Ukraine's MoD has confirmed that Pyatikhatki is free
And #Ukraine's air force confirms they down all #Russia's objects of death last night.
Four Kalibr cruise missiles and four #Iran-made Shahed attack drones were fired towards the south and east of the country, most notably #Odesa.
This is likely to be the biggest explosion you'll see today.
#Russia's remote-controlled "kamikaze" T-54 tank, loaded with six tons of explosives, approaches #Ukraine lines.
Heavy fire slows it down. A mine stops it before a rocket finishes it off with devastating effect.
42 of #Russia's vehicles and fuel tanks were destroyed in the last 24 hours according to #Ukraine's daily stats. That's a huge number (average is about 14 a day)
Taking out fuel tanks and logictical vehicles was what defeated the invader in the battles for #Kyiv and #Kherson.
I liked this, so sharing with you.
Nothing to do with the war... unless it's an analogy.
The update from British Intel today talks about #Russia's movement of its troops.
In response I think we will see more #Ukraine movement across the River Dnipro to see if Russians are moved back or if it is a potential weak spot in occupied #Kherson.
"By turning on the light in these houses, I wanted to give them hope that one day, life will return to them again."
#Ukraine photographer Pavlo Dorohoi illuminated destroyed homes of the residents of Dovhenke village in the #Kharkiv region.

At least half a dozen helicopters heading towards #Mariupol' city.
Note how low to the ground they keep to avoid detection and missiles. There is no need to fly directly over the beach though as one of these did here, but the occupiers don't care about people of course.
The #UK pledges to maintain sanctions against #Russia until compensation is paid against #Ukraine.
#Russia always denied when #Ukraine said harpoon missiles sunk the "Vasiliy Bekh" a year ago.
However, a monument for the sailors who died aboard the tugboat has been secretly unveiled in #Sevastopol. Photos taken by a relative appeared on social media.
There've been no other pictures or independent reports and ura .ru only mentions one source. So I'm not convinced.
New drone photo shows a car packed with explosives on top of the #KakhovkaDam just a week before it was blown up.
#Ukraine's army passed the photo, taken 28 May, to @AP. It says one of the barrels is connected to a landmine; the cable went to the Russian-held side of the river
TG channel Astra publishes what it says is video proof that #Russia had illegal "basement prisons" throughout the occupied territories.
Astra has discovered 15 such basements used to detain men who refuse to fight. No trial, no protocol, oh and nNo toilets - plastic bottles .
Media in #Russia delight in its hackers "bringing down" the European Investment Bank. They claim it will take 10 days to get the Bank up and running again.
#Finland may stop financial aid to countries which support #Russia's aggression.
Willie Tavio, incoming Minister of Foreign Trade and Development, did not name specific states but said "African countries have been seen supporting Russia. They will be watched."
President Macron has said for the first time that the SAMP/T long range anti-missile system is already in #Ukraine.
Alongside the Patriot, it's a huge help in keep Ukrainians safe from terrorist attacks. #SlavaUkraini
Boris's birthday today. He sidestepped the Westminster debates and controversy, to return to his favourite subject #Ukraine, where he is still the main hero of the people.
It's Friday! The weekend approaches.
It's also the 814th day of #Russia trying to destroy #Ukraine, its language, culture and people, and over 10 years since the first invasion.
For all the news on Day 814 keep clicking back here.
No coffees for 2 days - please help if you can.
Thursday was another busy one.
A day which saw Putin humiliated, #Ukraine attack #Crimea (again) and a load of other stories and videos.
Missed any of it? Just click here and scroll through the day's news:
#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.
All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..
#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.
But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)
Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.
Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.
In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.
