A huge guided aerial bomb was enough to take out the bridge near Orikhiv in Zaporizhzhia.

Orikhiv is only about 10km (6 miles) from the frontline.

Near the frontline in Zaporizhzia, Russia has destroyed a key bridge.

The only real route between Orekhiv and Preobrazhenka is now unusable, which will cause a big problem with logistic supplies for Ukraine to defend Orikhiv.

It's the same situation in occupied Donetsk.

"Arrivals" have already been rumoured in both Donetsk itself and this is said to be Makiivka.

Unconfirmed reports say an oil depot may have been hit.

Occupied Crimea is coming under close inspection from Ukraine drones.

It could be the 'birds' are flying on to different targets, but at the moment a number of alerts are being given to those living under occupation.

One of these men is helping Iran

Enemies vs Allies

A 5 year old can understand, if you support an enemy of your country, you are a traitor

Trump is a traitor

Another view of last week's strike on the Russian chemical plant owned by Uralchem in Kirovo-Chepetsk.

However, Spy Dossier says there was minimal damage to the ammonia production unit and it restarted work on Saturday.

5 days ago I reported on Ukraine's drones hitting the Uralchem plant in Russia's Kirov region.

Now video of the Liuty drone strikes has been leaked by "Spy Dossier"

The latest err... "peace talks" have been cancelled again.

This was inevitable when the golfing estate agent Vitkov and Nepo Kushy Kushner decided they'd need to pop over to Israel for some reason!

I'm told Ukraine is pushing for a meeting in Istanbul next week.

Eleven countries have now asked Ukraine for drone help.

Kyiv says most are states close to Iran, but European countries and the U.S. have also sought Ukraine's expertise.

I bet Zelenskyy was so tempted to say "Agent Orange, we accept Privat Bank, but you don't have the cards!"

Transported blindfold, handcuffed for 28 hours straight - Hungary stands accused of gross human rights abuse of the Ukrainian bank staff they "held hostage"

Forcefully injecting a diabetic, and refusing another man medical care until he lost consciousness, Ukraine's full claims are listed here.

Very bad news from the air force today, with the death announced of the commander of the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade, Hero of Ukraine, Oleksandr Dovhach.

A statement says during "significant enemy air superiority and powerful counteraction by enemy air defence, Col Oleksandr Dovhach died."

There are real fears for the Head of the Ukrainian Church .

Patriarch Filaret, who turned 97 just six weeks ago, has been admitted to hospital with deterioration in his health.

Those clear skies are really helping. Added to bright sunshine and no leaves on the trees, it's so difficult to hide stuff, let along air defence systems.

Latest hits are radar from S-300 near Spokiyne on Crimea and a BUK-M3 missile system in Lymanchuk, near Snizhne in occupied Donetsk.

A new level of depravity from Russia, which again violates even its own constitution to ensure torture for a Crimean political prisoner.

KHPG reports how Tofik Abdulgaziev, dying of previously diagnosed cancer, was forced to sign a declaration saying he's healthy so he can be kept in prison.

Oshchadbank, the Ukrainian owned bank, has been under cyber-attack this morning.

Services were shut down, but they're expected to be restored about now.

It comes days after Hungary stole millions from the bank and arrested 7 employees.

A new Ukraine hit overnight appears to have been a second visit in 3 months by "Dr One" to a chemical plant in Velikiy Novgorod, about 150km south of St Petersburg

'Akron' produces a wide range of nitrogen/fertilizers which can be used in explosives.

Ukraine rightly feels aggrieved, after revealing they've received about 600 Patriot missiles in the entire 4+ year full Russian invasion.... while 800 were spent in the middle-east in a week, countering Iran's projectiles.

It appears more and more crass stupidity by the U.S.

Two ballistic missiles and 197 drones were fired overnight by Russia, so no slow down despite recent strikes on drone storage sites in Donetsk.

161 UAVs were intercepted (82%) - a lower number because many were in the east of the country.

The 2 rockets + 36 drones hit 8 places

It's not certain whether those Pantsir hits⬆️are included in today's table of Russian losses, and there have been so many air defence systems hit lately it's tough keeping count - 4 more today

Also +1 boat, 70 artillery systems and a 2nd highest 2,224 drones stopped.

Ukraine's claimed another big haul of Russian gear.

They claim THREE more Pantsir air defence systems were hit, plus a high-speed landing craft "BK-16"

Also, storage of "Orion" strike and reconnaissance drones and 4 control stations of these drones are said to have been destroyed.

Y'day I reported Zelenskyy saying 3 Gulf states requested Ukraine's help dealing with Iranian drones: teams would arrive today.

Those comments came AFTER his interview with the NY Times which publishes its story today, though it does reveal Jordan as the 1st country to receive Ukraine expertise.

First news from inside Russia that the invaders lost 4 officers to one Ukraine drone attack on Friday.

'Spy Dossier' reveals a 'Baba Yaga' strike in the border village of Tyotkino in Kursk region, dealt a devastating blow to the leadership of military unit 78986.

Busy on Sunday? You missed another long thread, but there's time to catch up on a day-long Ukraine attack on Krasnodar, depleting Russian drone stocks in Donetsk and confirmation Hungary seems to be led by a thief.

It's Day 4,400 of Russia's plan to destroy Ukraine and Ukrainian culture.

That's how long ago Putin ordered the capture of Crimea.

It's Day 1475 of Russia's all-out invasion.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

This is Monday's🧡

Right, spent far too long hunting fires.

It's time to wrap up and thank today's sponsors - except there were none😒

So, sleep time for me. Hope you enjoyed another packed thread today. See you tomorrow.

With Sochi, Gelendzhik + Krasnodar airports still shut (15 hours now since 1st closure), I've taken a look at fires in the region.

There are notable blazes in Novorossiysk and an inland village, Verkhnebakanskii.
Huge coincidence: it looks like cement works are on fire in both

Follower @chrisannad.bsky.social spotted a lot of heat in the Russian city of Lipetsk. This is a screenshot of NATO's fire monitoring site. These red blocks are on a lot of factories and what looks like a railway depot.

No mention of any fires in local media, but one report I found adds intrigue.

Very interesting, thanks.
Not found anything in any media, or social media.
But some important sites here. I'll make a post.
