More proof by @neonhandrail, showing the treeline with the explosion is an exact match with other footage.

Chatter in local telegram groups stated that a Shahed was hit and flew to Romania.

3 different statements by Romania are circulating:
175, 176 and 312.

Statement 175 (seems to be the same as 312) by Romania:

Statement 176:

Statement by Ukraine:

Based on different investigations by different geolocators,

based on the OS knowledge how a Shahed works,

based on the OS knowledge and the Ukrainian communication that they are able to shoot down/hit a lot of Shaheds...:

12/X
Conclusion:

- Highly likely a Russian Shahed crashed and exploded in Romania, likely after it was hit by Ukrainian AA.

- Ukrainian statement is opposed by Romanian statement 176: Based on our investigation Ukrainian statement is right.

GeoConfirmed Investigation - Thread 2 - October 7th 2023.

Thread 2 - Zikim area.

This thread contains footage of the Zikim area, highlighting three events:

1) Destruction of Remote-Controlled Weapon Systems
Israeli guard towers along the fence were equipped with remotely controlled weapon systems. These systems were neutralized at the onset of the attack using grenades dropped from drones.
This tactic mirrors the widespread use of drone-dropped munitions observed in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

2) Coastal Infiltration
Militants also employed boats to infiltrate the area via the coastline.

3) Civilian Casualties
The attack resulted in civilian casualties, including teenagers, who were killed at close range.

GeoConfirmed Investigation - Thread 1 - October 7th 2023.

Thread 1 - Massive Rocket barrage.

The attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, began with an unprecedented rocket barrage at approximately 6:30 a.m. local time.

Thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel, targeting various areas. This massive rocket attack forced many Israelis to seek shelter in bunkers and safe rooms.

The timing of the attack was strategically chosen to coincide with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, when security forces were operating at minimum levels. This reduced security presence, combined with the early morning timing and the chaos caused by the rocket barrage, allowed Hamas militants to breach the Gaza-Israel barrier more easily.

GeoConfirmed ISR (Lebanon) - Investigation.

A Belgian journalist and his fixer were abducted in Beirut, Lebanon, while his cameraman was shot in the leg and left behind. The journalist and the fixer were released a few hours later, albeit with injuries.

Yesterday @WarMonitors made some unusual assertions regarding "a Zionist spy that many Lebanese have seen many times"
These claims were accompanied by two videos, which were initially difficult to geolocate.
Both tweets had over 13k likes and over a million views.

---

In the morning, Belgian news agencies began reporting on the well-known war journalist @ramaekers_robin, who, along with his fixer, was kidnapped while covering the bombing of a specific apartment building in Bachoura Beirut, reportedly the office of Hezbullah's MP Amine Cherri.
(x.com/GeoConfirmed/s…)

When Robin was speaking with eyewitnesses of the attack, things went wrong. A group of approximately twenty men assaulted the journalists. The men accused Robin and Stijn of spying for Israel and began shooting at Stijn, who was hit by two bullets in the leg. Robin and the fixer were beaten and dragged away. They were then locked in a basement, where they were beaten several more times and interrogated for hours.

After their release, both journalists were hospitalized for their injuries. Ramaekers suffered facial fractures, while De Smet was treated for a leg wound caused by gunshots.

Are these two videos, spread by Warmonitors, about the Belgian journalist?

And can we find the geolocation with this new information ?

In short: Yes

GeoConfirmed UKR. Disinformation.

❌"Cemetery of Ukrainian tanks in the Kursk region." ❌

These are Russian tanks that have been marked with Ukrainian symbols following their capture during the Ukrainian Kharkiv offensive in autumn 2022, near the village of Myrne. ✅

Factchecked by @BuschModelar and community noted.


Despite this, the post remains pinned to the profile and is going viral, currently boasting 1.1 million views.

In the comments, the author (@Ug_chelsea) is engaging in discussions with users who point out the flaws in his/her post, remaining entirely convinced of his/her perspective.

Now @EjShahid has geolocated this location, proving again that this is disinformation:

Thread of 'Kursk' related geolocations.
New ones will be added at the end.

It seems they aimed to demonstrate that, even a year after Russian separatists conducted an incursion from Ukraine into Russia, Russia still struggles to adequately protect its borders.
