First the breaking news - and a third attack of the night inside #Russia.
At the end of yesterday's thread you may have read of the drone attacks on #Voronezh and #Belgorod regions. Well now it's become clear that #Novgorod has also been attacked by #Ukraine's UAVs..

It looks like #Ukraine has hit another ammo warehouse, similar to the supposed ATACMS strike 24 hours ago.
But this is in #Kotovo, over 800km (500 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
Locals report the area nearby being evacuated, with residents moved to #Kulotino 8-10km away

#Russia of course has been trying to hit #Ukraine with its own drones during the night.
Still a long way to go with 14 drones flying right now. A group of 8 is heading from #Sumy region to #Chernihiv and may continue to #Kyiv, where there have already been 2 alarms tonight.

No reports of serious damage in #Ukraine so far this night. But still no update on yesterday's strikes on #Kharkiv and #Zaporizhzhia where media silence was observed.
Unfortunately (or maybe there's no fortune about it, but lack of planning months ago) - the litany of bad news for #Ukraine from the front line in #Donetsk continues.
Very reliable Boris Myroshnykov reports 2 villages lost and another 3 all but gone and #Kurakhove looking bad.

Dear readers, I simply have to sleep a little. Four hours in 44 hours is madness! I'll get another 4 now and be back with updates.
In #Kyiv, there were some reports that drone debris damaged an apartment and a fire broke out.
However, emergency services say the blaze was caused by a domestic appliance.

A pensioner was injured during the night in #Chernihiv region.
It's said that a rocket flew into #Pryluky.
Civilian infrastructure was also damaged, which is probably why no detailed photos have been released under Martial Law.

The United States has taken the unusual step of closing its embassy in #Kyiv because of the possibility of a "serious attack" today.
In the last 24 hours #Russia lost its 1,000th anti-aircraft system.
100 vehicles and 49 artillery systems were also destroyed by #Ukraine, while the November average of invaders lost in battle continues to rise, with a further 1,690 reported by Kyiv today.

#Russia gets its knickers in a twist again over the US sending anti-personnel landmines to Kyiv.
Washington says these devices become inactive after a certain amount of time.
Neither #Ukraine nor #USA has signed the Ottawa convention on landmines, so this is not illegal.

A reminder of the warning issued by the USA this morning.
If you are in #Kyiv, DO NOT ignore air warnings today and please ensure anyone you know is aware of the urgent alert.

I think the US Intelligence may concern #Russia actively testing a new weapon on #Ukraine.
The ballistic missile is believed to be set to be launched from the #Astrakhan region.
#Spain has now followed the US in closing its embassy in #Kyiv today.

#Russia has arrested a citizen of #Germany in connection with alleged sabotage.
The FSB says Nikolai Gaiduk crossed from Poland to attack energy facilities in #Kaliningrad region. They claim Oleksandr Zhorov, a #Ukraine citizen with German residency supplied a homemade bomb.

#Ukraine intercepted 2 of the 5 rockets.
Of the UAVs, 56 were shot down and 58 more foiled by EW.
Of the remaining 8, five drones went back to #Russia, and one visited #Belarus.

#Ukraine's Ombudsman revealed the extent of #Russia's war crimes against children in the first 1,000 days of war.
Almost 20,000 were kidnapped (or "forcibly deported") and nearly 2,000 are missing😢
Russia also killed around 600 and injured over 1,700 according to @lubinetzs

Air raid sirens sounded on occupied #Crimea this afternoon. Marine traffic from #Sevastopol was suspended and the #CrimeaBridge was closed for an hour amid rumours of a missile attack.
It may have been a fake launch as nothing happened at all.

Another bad fire in occupied #Crimea.
This is in a kindergarten in #Saky near the military airfield.
Authorities don't seem concerned saying "we think the foam in the roof caught fire"

Early today it was reported by the ExileNova Telegram channel that there had been strikes at, or near, an oil depot in #Samara region.
There were a couple of dark images and this video, said to be from #Sosnovka, next to the plant, but I'm unable to find any proof it happened

You want some more details on #Russia's impending financial catastrophe and possible total collapse?
#Russia spent cash trying to prop up the ruble but it's still worth less than 1 cent
Meanwhile a new report from the Central Bank shows inflation spiralling despite denials

The @MoscowTimes also reports Putler won't be seen in public now long range missiles can be fired.
Obviously #EATP for #Putin.

An update on the vessel from #China suspected of cutting under-sea cables.... well, there is no update!
The Yi Peng 3 is still going nowhere, but a diving ship from #Norway has left its side to move a little further south. #Denmark still says nothing.

#Putin prepares to submit his wet dream to Trump, making #Ukraine disappear if the US agrees.
In red: occupied regions become part of Russia.
Orange will be a pro-Russia vassal state (like Belarus)
Yellow is "disputed territory" to be decided between Poland, Romania + Hungary.

Z bloggers claim the village of Maryino in the #Kursk region was repeatedly struck - the video records repeated strikes. The video seems genuine.

#Ukraine likely hit a #Russia Command Post, controlling the #Kursk operation.
A large % of the total #StormShadow missiles were used. Defence Express says the target was on an estate belonging to Putin.
Generals from #NorthKorea may be among casualties.

One of #Russia's armoured vehicles smashed into a civilian car in #Belgorod.
It happened on Sunday but authorities tried to hush it up, until this photo from #Korocha was published by Pepel. There's no word on casualties of course.

Immediately after the StormShadow attack in #Kursk, #Russia made 7 x TU-95 bombers airborne.
It could be a scare tactic, a fake, or a real attack launch.
We will know soon enough, but check for alerts if you're in #Ukraine.

ATACMS may have been used again.
There appears to have been a hit in occupied #Bakhmut (Video 1 - v. graphic). It's at or near the former Champagne Plant
3 months ago #Russia's military helpfully published video 2, showing how they converted it to a military HQ + hospital.

This evening, a new allegation of surrendering #Ukraine soldiers being mass executed in cold blood.
Again, #Russia emulating its hero Hitler & the Nazis.
The video is in the next post, skip it if you don't want to watch, but this is the sickening post glorifying the crime.

Here is the (low res) video of #Russia's crime.
The time code shows this afternoon, but that's probably when the file was created by the channel owner.
The video therefore cannot be verified, and no location is given, but it fits with reports not to take prisoners in #Kursk

There are still no attack drones in #Ukraine tonight.
Some rare respite for air defence and a chance to get some quality sleep I hope for the beleaguered population
Maybe there were a lot of drones in one of those depots hit?
I'm off to bed now too. See you back here tomorrow
