Ansarallah claims to have shot down a Saudi Karayel armed reconnaissance drone over the Hajjah Governorate of Yemen.

⚡🇮🇷🇺🇸 Reuters: Iran’s capture of a U.S. Dive-LD autonomous underwater drone could allow Tehran to study and potentially reverse-engineer parts of the system, according to defence analysts. The IRGC said it recovered the vessel near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. Navy said the older-model drone had malfunctioned and contained neither sensitive data nor classified sonar or radar equipment. Analysts said Iran could likely reproduce aspects of its mechanical systems, although built-in software protections could limit access to more sensitive technology.

The incident follows Iran’s 2011 capture of a U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone, which Tehran later claimed to have reverse-engineered into domestically produced systems.

Iskander-M threat from Bryansk.

Something was launched. Unclear if it was an Iskander-M or an S-300/400 air defence missile.

Update: This is the work of Russian S-300 air defence against Ukrainian drones over Bryansk Oblast.

New satellite imagery reveals that a Russian Buyan-M Corvette of the Black Sea Fleet stationed at Novorossiysk Naval Base, Krasnodar Krai, suffered heavy damage from a Ukrainian drone strike.

The ship is now non-operational, but will most likely be repaired. It was actively used to launch Kalibr cruise missiles towards Ukraine.

If Ukrainian authorities don’t issue mandatory evacuation orders for the remaining ~50,000 civilians still living in Slovyansk and Kramatorsk in the next month, people will freeze to death this winter.

This is an unprecedentedly large civilian population living in such close proximity to the frontline, and evacuating them will not be an easy or quick task, especially as the highways leading into the remaining Ukrainian-controlled part of Donetsk Oblast come under increased attacks from Russian drones. It needs to start now while there is enough time before winter hits and before the frontline comes too close.

The fact that there are still supermarkets, cafes, and other shops still operational in these cities is insane to me. When winter comes, there will likely be no electricity. And if tens of thousands of people are still there, it will be like Druzhkivka but dozens of times worse.

Straits open btw ;)
