A lot of activity overnight in #Russia, which says it shot down all 50 #Ukraine drones. Two were destroyed over #Tula region.
That's strange because locals report hearing 10 or 11 explosions, such as these, which look and sound a little more than air defence work!

In the city of #Aleksin is a chemical plant which produces gunpowder, ammunition and other products used by #Russia's military.
Also in the same city in #Tula region is the Aleksin Experimental Mechanical Plant, also involved in manufacture of Defence products.

I read in the @Telegraph today about another #Trump "peace plan" which would involve a huge buffer zone between #Ukraine + #Russia policed by UK + EU troops.
However, I've read 10 different versions already. At least 9 must be wrong, so they're just guesses and best ignored.

The number of #Russia's soldiers eliminated in the last 24 hours is in the Top 5 all time days with 1,660 killed (or maimed), according to #Ukraine's estimates.
In the first half of December we should reach the 3/4 million mark.

#Ukraine claims only one attack drone hit its target last night, and as I reported in the thread, that must have been the one in #Odesa.
#Russia fired 51 drones, 32 of which were shot down and 18 stopped by EW (Electronic Warfare)

A photo/video are published, claiming to show (I think for the first time) #Russia's use of thermobaric munitions on its attack drones.
Previously, warnings have been issued by #Ukraine, but without proof. However, though this looks genuine, it cannot be independently verified.

So to #Odesa, with tragedy affecting one family in particular. A mother died and her father and son are among 8 people injured in the hospital, their home destroyed.
Other victims were treated at the scene.

Elsewhere falling debris caused other injuries and fires around the city and region.

Damage in #Kharkiv overnight too - but first, a 60 year old man needed treatment after #Russia shelled the village of #Prudianka in the region an hour ago.
Two private houses, a power line, and cars were seriously damaged.

Getting in and out of #Kharkiv is a bit more problematical today after #Russia's aerial (Grom) bomb smashed into a major road.
A hypermarket, gas station and a hotel were damaged as was trolley bus wiring and other infrastructure.

An update on #Ukraine's drone attack in #Tula.
It's reported only one drone was shot down and 8 hit the #Aleksin Chemical Plant. Another UAV also struck the Aleksin Thermal Power Plant.
However "only glazing of several buildings and 3 private houses located near" were damaged.

More info on last weekend's #Ukraine attack on #Russia in the #Rostov region (see tweet below).
It's been geolocated just east of #Novocherkassk. New videos show what's left of a military training groundof the 33rd Infantry Brigade. Many must have died.

With just 8 weeks until the White House turns an ugly shade or orange, there's at last some urgency to help #Ukraine.
The Pentagon is now sending over 500 interceptor missiles for the Patriot and NASAMS air defence systems.
We need Biden to wake up & send all the aid by then.

This is now geolocated and confirmed as the Aleksin chemical plant.

In #Oryol this is the queue for butter at an outdoor market.
#Russia has an acute shortage of butter - they've tried importing but can't fill the shelves.

Some encouraging news for #Ukraine from the north, where the defenders have not only been holding off #Russia's advance, but dealt more blows according to the General Staff.
Border Guards say in #Vovchansk they destroyed invaders' strongholds trench lines + personnel shelters.

🔞* Very GRAPHIC Video *🔞
Another disgusting war crime. #Russia's troops film themselves interrogating a clearly wounded, unarmed soldier. He says he is from #Sumy region and is then casually shot dead in another flagrant breach of all laws.
This is why we CANNOT give in.

By the way, how can the USA, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, South Korea and all normal countries NOT declare #Russia a terrorist state?
Please ask your elected representative via email, attaching a screenshot, the video or a link to my post why they are scared to stand up to Putin?

A blistering attack on #Ukraine's leadership.
As President, @ZelenskyyUa must answer these 100% valid points.
@serhiyprytula is 🇺🇦's leading fundraiser, angry corruption still flourishes, in society and seemingly the President's office, as soldiers die.

The aerial bomb landed in the #Slobid district of #Kharkiv, but without major damage or injuries.
One person needed treatment for stress.
The rocket hit near a high-rise building, with many windows broken. No photos yet.

Two days after posting this, it's revealed that #Russia's former Defence Minister Shoigu and his "lapdog Lieutenant" Tsalikov were majority shareholders, but have bailed out & asset stripped.
Instead the "patriots" moved their cash to China + Tajikistan

Another blast in #Odesa this evening. Air defence has been working on rockets and now drones which attack again.
This video appeared this evening, but it's from last night's attack on the southern city. I'm still shocked people stand on balconies filming.

This could be the biggest drone attack ever by #Russia.
Parts of #Ukraine's are flooded with UAVs & though some may be fake, it's sure to test air defence. Up to 30 are potentially heading to #Kyiv, others threaten #Odesa.
I would not be surprised if missiles are fired later.

It's reported one of #Russia's drones went right across #Moldova and looks to have crossed into #Romania.
This is preliminary information and needs official clarification.

Oh they're flying all over... one of #Russia's attack drones has now veered of towards #Belarus and looks certain to have crossed the border.
Meanwhile four more drones pivot over the Black Sea to attack #Odesa again.

More clips from #Odesa, where a mass of drones have been attacking. The first video seems to show another one being downed, while its unclear how the fire in the second started.

The all-clear is sounded in #Odesa - at least for now.
Meanwhile in #Kyiv, seven attack drones are in the region already and this number may rise to 25 if UAVs further afield keep their current course.

#Russia claims one person was killed and two injured in occupied #NovaKakhovka in #Kherson region.
The invaders claims a "temporary accommodation point" was shelled by #Ukraine.
An injury is also reported in central #Horlivka after shelling of occupied #Donetsk too.

Air defence has been busy in #Kyiv, but about 10 minutes ago the alarm for the city was turned off.
There are still mopeds in the wider region though and any of them could head to the centre if not taken down soon.
No explosions or serious damage reported.

This could go on for a while yet, but I'll update everyone in the morning. Time to close the thread for today.
Thanks for joining me, hope you will return tomorrow.
