The IDF claims that it killed battalion sniper commander Omar Ahmed Abu Qasem in a targeted assassination strike on the central Gaza Strip.

They claim he had recently been attempting to rebuild Hamas' military capabilities.

Deputy Commander of the Ukrainian Airforce, Pavlo Elizarov, has submitted a request for the resignation from his position, in response to the dismissal of Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

He stated that the dismissal of Fedorov will cause "numerous casualties and destruction in Ukraine", and that he no longer wants to serve in the military.

Ukrainian Air Force claim on last night's Russian missile strike.

They claimed that 3/8 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles were shot down (in reality, only 2 S-400s were shot down), that the 4 Kh-22 cruise missiles launched "did not reach their targets", and completely ignored the 4 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles launched to Odesa Oblast (which means they all impacted).

CENTCOM announced targeting the Curaçao-flagged oil tanker "M/T Belma" with Hellfire missiles, after it allegedly ignored repeated warnings while sailing towards Iran's Kharg Island.

The missiles struck the vessel's smokestack, stopping its movement.

Large rallies in Kyiv against the dismissal of Ukrainian Defence Minister Fedorov right now.

Ukrainian SBU drone-boats struck the Russian "Louise 1" and "Banda" oil tankers in the waters of the Black Sea.

Day 11 of Ukraine's large-scale attacks on Russian commercial vessels in the Sea of Azov:

The Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces claims that 7 more ships were hit overnight. A video of the strikes will probably be released soon.

I really hope the TCC doesn't exploit these large-scale protests for extra forced mobilisation...

I fucking knew it.

If anyone reading this is of military age in Ukraine, DO NOT attend these rallies.

A Russian Su-35 is trying to shoot down a Ukrainian tactical aircraft near Putvyl, Sumy Oblast, with an R-37/77 air-to-air missile right now.

Explosions are reported in Bahrain.

Reportedly air defence activity outside Bahraini airspace.

Another interception attempt is being made now, this time near Buryn, Sumy Oblast.

This time, an explosion was heard in the city of Bilopillya, Sumy Oblast.

It is unclear if this is from the air-to-air missile self-destructing, or from a successful interception of a Ukrainian tactical aircraft.

Heavy fighter jet activity over Kuwait for the last hour.
