Eastern Europe - Ukraine War 🇺🇦: Ukrainian Forces Target Key Russian Personnel
According to Ukrainian 🇺🇦sources, on December 29th, 2024, on the Vasylivka-Tokmak highway, an FPV unit of the “Kraken” battalion of the GUR killed Serhii “Kama” Melnikov, the chief of staff, and his driver from the “Storm Ossetia” battalion (429th motorized rifle regiment of the Russian 🇷🇺Armed Forces).
The footage of his supposed death is quite spectacular as
it shows his car having a serious accident while trying to evade the Ukrainian FPV drone. If that was really him, it can be assumed that the crash alone killed him.

Topsy the elephant was executed on January 4, 1903, at Luna Park in Coney Island, New York, using a combination of methods: she was fed carrots laced with potassium cyanide, strangled with a large rope, and finally electrocuted with 6,600 volts of alternating current. Topsy had earned a reputation for aggression, having been involved in several incidents, including killing a spectator in 1902 who tried to feed her a lit cigarette, and other altercations with her often intoxicated handlers. The owners of Luna Park, Frederic Thompson and Elmer "Skip" Dundy, initially planned a public hanging to draw crowds, but due to intervention by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, they chose what they believed to be a more humane method. Although there's a common myth that Thomas Edison orchestrated the execution to promote direct current over alternating current, Edison was not directly involved; however, his company filmed the event under the title "Electrocuting an Elephant."

In the winter of 1780, specifically from December 1779 through January 1780, George Washington's Continental Army at Morristown, New Jersey, was hit by one of the most severe snowstorms of the Revolutionary War. This storm, part of what became known as the "Hard Winter," began in earnest on January 3, 1780, with heavy snowfall blanketing the camp, leading to accumulations of up to six feet (180 cm) of snow in some areas. Temperatures plummeted to as low as 6°F (-15°C), with some accounts even suggesting it dipped below zero fahrenheit at times, transforming the camp into a scene of extreme hardship.
The conditions at Washington's winter encampment were dire. The soldiers, already suffering from inadequate clothing and food supplies, found themselves battling not only the British but also the elements. The snow covered their makeshift huts, making them even colder and more inhospitable, and the deep drifts made movement around the camp extremely difficult. Food was scarce, leading to hunger and malnutrition among the troops, and firewood was in such short supply that soldiers were often forced to burn whatever they could find, including furniture and even their own clothing, just to survive the cold. The snow and subsequent freezing temperatures lasted well into March, prolonging the misery and testing the endurance of Washington's army to its limits. This harsh winter underscored the resilience of the American forces, as they managed to maintain discipline and morale under these trying circumstances, which was crucial for the eventual success of the revolutionary cause.
