Despite constant Russian drone, artillery, and glide-bomb strikes, and the nearby frontline, Ukrainian firefighters continue to operate in the city.

Russian Geran-4 jet-drones struck an oil depot and a cargo ship at Chornomorsk Port, Odesa Oblast.

A Russian Mi-8 helicopter crashed in Kamchatka Krai while transporting cargo today, due to an onboard accident. The aircraft is lying on its side, with the rotor blades damaged.

The Ukrainian European Solidarity party has expelled MP and delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Oleksiy Honcharenko, after he called for peace negotiations with Russia to end the war, citing "ideological differences".

Honcharenko previously stated that Ukraine was losing the war and should accept territorial concessions to preserve Ukrainian statehood. He also advocated for a phased removal of sanctions on Russia, in exchange for Russia halting their strikes on Ukrainian critical infrastructure and a freeze to the fighting on the frontline.

Honcharenko also recently revealed that Russia withdrew from northern Ukraine and Kyiv Oblast due to the Istanbul agreements, contradicting the official Ukrainian narrative that they were forced out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, sparking significant political debate and criticism.

Sadly, we have reached a point in this war where the information space is so fucked that, Ukrainian sources (such as Deepstate) will maintain large grey-zones as long as there's still one wounded and abandoned Ukrainian soldier stuck in a basement, and Russian sources will map massive advances up to where a single Russian infiltrator is killed by an FPV drone.

And then the fanatic supporters of each side will cheer it on, blindly consuming and trusting the news that makes them feel the most comfortable. This is made possible by the increasing centralisation of the Russian and Ukrainian information spaces.

If I were Honcharenko, I would leave Ukraine asap. We all know what is unlikely, but possible.

Ansarallah announced targeting Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia with a ballistic missile, disrupting air traffic at the airport.

After being expelled from the European Solidarity Party, Ukrainian MP and delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Oleksiy Honcharenko has been added to the controversial "Myrotvorets" list.

The Myrotvorets list is a database of individuals considered enemies of Ukraine, who they claim are working against Ukraine's national interests. It has been repeatedly criticised by human rights organisations as violating press freedoms and endangering journalists. Some critics have characterised Myrotvorets as a "kill list", and alleged it is funded by the Ukrainian SBU.

The website described Honcharenko as a "professional provocateur", and accused him of taking actions "in the interests of the Russian-fascist invaders, aimed at disrupting mobilisation events in Ukraine." It explicitly mentioned his recent advocation for peace negotiations and statements that Ukraine is losing the war.

Myrotvorets also listed a number of other "Russian narratives" Honcharenko allegedly spread in the past, including the following:

- Advocating for parents to be allowed to determine for themselves whether their children should study in Russian or Ukrainian in 2011;

- His statements in 2019 that Ukrainian culture is bilingual and that he does not wish for Russian to die out as a language in the future;

- His attempts to grant Russian the status of a second state language and expand its presence in school education in 2011, during his work in the work in the Odessa regional council.

Russian forces have captured the city of Bilytske, Dobropillya direction, Donetsk Oblast (Pokrovsk District).

The fighting for Bilytske lasted approximately 6 months, 20 days.

Ukrainian authorities have begun constructing anti-drone nets over the "Northern" Bridge across the Dnieper River in Kyiv, due to repeated Russian Geran-4/5 jet-drone strikes.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has told the cabinet that the IDF has been ordered to prepare for a scenario of war with the Palestinian Authority.

He said the reference scenario for the West Bank stipulates preparations for a possible attack by jihadist elements against settlers and soldiers, as a lesson from 7 October.

Katz said the IDF is preparing for a scenario in which PA security forces and the Tanzim organisation turn their guns against settlers and troops.

“In such a case, war would be declared against the Palestinian Authority, and the IDF would launch a comprehensive offensive in accordance with a detailed plan formulated and approved by Prime Minister Netanyahu and by me,” he said.

He said such a campaign would be “short and forceful,” including ground and air forces, the elimination and expulsion of senior officials, the destruction of weapons, and the large‑scale evacuation of residents and destruction of infrastructure in cities and refugee camps, in accordance with the Gaza and Lebanon models.

@wfwitness

Signs are still pointing to the attack likely taking place tonight.

If this is the case, then we can expect the departure of Russian Tu-160M and Tu-95MS strategic bombers from Olenya and Belaya Airbases to take place in roughly 8 hours from now. Any ballistic missile launches could occur any time after that.

I'm gonna get a few hours of sleep, and will get up to cover this attack (if it does indeed take place) in the morning. Goodnight everyone!

Good morning. We should see activity recorded on Russian strategic frequencies begin in the next couple of hours if the attack does indeed take place tonight.
