🇮🇱🇾🇪Footage of Israeli Air Force fighter jets striking energy facilities and ships in Yemen last night.
The strikes targeted two power plants, oil storage facilities and eight tugboats in Hodeida, said to be used by the Houthis. Map from the IDF is attached.
The route distance, covered with in-flight refueling, was approximately 2,000 km.
🇷🇺🇺🇦In Sudzha, Kursk region, Ukrainian soldiers filmed a video against the backdrop of the wreckage of a monument to a MiG-29 fighter jet, which was located on the northern outskirts of the city.
Coordinates: 51.214714, 35.308587
The monument was destroyed by Ukrainian artillery strikes back in August. Apparently, to enhance the effect of begging for money, this couple decided to shoot footage against the backdrop of the tail section of the monument with a star and a side number, implying that this was their work.
Another monument has been defeated.
🇷🇺🇺🇦The Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated across the Psel River in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, leaving the village of Plekhovo, Forbes reports.
The publication writes that Plekhovo was attacked by Russian and North Korean troops, who had a numerical advantage, and therefore the Ukrainian military left the village.
At the same time, as stated in the publication, the Psel River became a natural barrier for the further continuation of the Russian-North Korean offensive, on which the Ukrainian Armed Forces organized a new line of defense.
🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia has advanced into Kurakhovo, according to a Deep State map.
Almost the entire city is now listed as under Russian control or in the grey zone. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are listed as present only on the far western outskirts.
The Russian Federation also finally captured Uspenovka and the entire “pocket” to the south of Kurakhovo.
🇷🇺❗️Colonel General Nikolai Yuryev has resigned from his post as head of the FSB military counterintelligence department, a source from the Russian Military National Police.
Some sources link Yuryev's departure to failures in operational activities within the Ministry of Defense system.
🇷🇺🇺🇦Putin reported that the largest concentration of NATO equipment along the entire front line is now in the Kursk region.
It is also where it suffers the largest losses, and now the Kursk region is the largest cemetery of NATO equipment in the world. A hint that the enemy has already surpassed the Rabotin salient in terms of losses.
In principle, the number of videos with destroyed equipment is indeed comparable. After the end of the Kursk operation, it will be interesting to compare the calculations of specialized resources that keep count of destroyed armored vehicles with the results of the "counteroffensive".
🇷🇺🇺🇦Kurakhovo. The enemy lost control over the remaining positions in the city blocks and retreated to the industrial zone near the Kurakhovskaya TPP.
The city center and the Yuzhny microdistrict are under the control of our troops.
Kurakhovo doesn't have long left.
🇷🇺❗️Putin on gas transit:
— Ukraine received $800 million from the Russian Federation for gas transit;
— There will definitely be no more contract for gas transit through Ukraine, but Gazprom will survive this;
— Russia will continue to increase its share of global LNG markets.
The President also reported that the Slovak special services detained Ukrainian saboteurs with maps of the country's gas system. Kyiv was probably preparing a major terrorist attack.
🇷🇺🇺🇦Another echelon of North Korean 170mm M1989 Koksan self-propelled guns on Russian territory.
It is difficult to count the total number, but it looks like there are more than a dozen , taking into account those that have already passed and are not captured on camera.
The first photos of "Koksans" from the DPRK on Russian territory appeared a month ago. So far, there have been no recorded facts of these self-propelled guns participating in combat operations.
🇧🇪🇺🇦Ukraine will not receive F-16 fighters from Belgium this year, Belgian Defense Minister Ludivine Dedonder said.
The reasons for the delay include the lack of sufficiently trained Ukrainian pilots and a shortage of spare parts.
🇮🇱🇹🇷The Israeli Foreign Ministry accused Turkey of seizing Syrian territories.
Earlier, Israeli troops occupied the Golan Heights, part of Lebanon, and the Gaza Strip.
🇺🇦🇷🇺🇬🇧Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Syrsky described the situation at the front as "very difficult." In a conversation with the Chief of the British Defence Staff Tony Radakin, he noted that the Russian Armed Forces have stepped up their offensive in several areas.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces have advanced near Pokrovsk, entering the village of Peschanoye (from which the Ukrainian Armed Forces had previously counterattacked).
This is evidenced by the map of the military public Deep State.
To the south of Kurakhovo, Russian forces captured Uspenovka.
One of the wilder videos from this war so far.

⚡️⚡️ TELEGRAM CENSORSHIP? MASSIVE SHADOW BAN ON DOZENS OF CHANNELS
Telegram seems to unprecedentedly limit the growth of some political and news channels, following Meta’s path—yet few noticed.
WHAT’S HAPPENING:
The "similar channels" feature has been disabled for many channels, cutting off a key source of new subscribers. Some shadowbanned channels are also missing from search results. Check if your channel is affected.
REASON:
A BBC article and "study" claim Telegram promotes "extremist content, such as anti-government conspiracies, antisemitism, or white nationalism" through "similar channels." Also, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, under judicial supervision in France, may also face pressure to impose censorship.
ACTION REQUIRED NOW:
Demand answers from Telegram. The support team remains silent, but you can raise concerns on Telegram’s bug forum. Let’s stop Telegram from becoming another Meta.
Share this message to help preserve Telegram as a free speech platform.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The Russian Defense Ministry officially announced that yesterday Ukraine struck the Rostov region with six ATACMS missiles and four Storm Shadow missiles.
It was stated that the missiles hit the Kamensky Combine and all were shot down except for one, which damaged a building on the territory of the combine.
At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense once again stated that “this attack will not go unanswered.”

🇷🇺🇸🇾Putin said that he has not yet spoken with Bashar al-Assad since his overthrow in Syria, but will definitely meet with him.
It is important to remember that Assad received corresponding security guarantees from Putin back in the first half of the 2010s, and Russia does not violate such guarantees.
Putin does not consider the current situation in Syria a defeat for Russia. According to him, Russia has already achieved its goals in Syria. Regarding the bases, the issue is still in limbo. Everything will depend on negotiations with the new Syrian authorities.
The Khmeimim base may be used in the future to deliver humanitarian aid to Syria.
Aleppo was captured by 350 militants. 30,000 Syrian and pro-Iranian troops did not offer them the necessary resistance.
Russia helped evacuate 4,000 Iranian fighters from Syria.
🇷🇺🇺🇦The Ukrainian Armed Forces are gradually becoming depleted, while the Russian army is moving forward, Putin said.

🇷🇺🇮🇱Putin on Israel:
- Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip are worthy of nothing but condemnation. There is nothing more to add here.
– Israel is the main beneficiary of the events in Syria
– Russia condemns any seizure of Syrian territories by Israel
Israeli troops advanced 20-25 km into Syria and captured fortifications that were built by Soviet specialists
🇷🇺🇮🇷🇸🇾Vladimir Putin said that Russia had evacuated 4,000 Iranian fighters from Syria to Iranian territory. Another portion of pro-Iranian formations left Syrian territory for Lebanon and Iraq.
Also, according to the president, the situation in Syria is not a defeat , because Russia has achieved its goals in Syria – terrorists did not come to power there.
Separately, Vladimir Putin mentioned that at the moment Russia has proposed using the Khmeimim and Tartus bases to deliver humanitarian aid to Syria.
It is possible that under this very pretext Russian military bases may be retained on the territory of the Syrian state, at least temporarily.

The village of Zelenovka in the Kurakhovo direction and the village of Novy Komar north of the settlement of Velikaya Novosyolka were liberated.

🇱🇻🇺🇦Language scandal in Riga: Latvian minister outraged by taxi driver who spoke Russian to her. He turned out to be from Ukraine.
Yesterday, Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže was outraged that the taxi driver who gave her a ride in Riga could only speak Russian to her. The minister demanded an explanation from the Bolt aggregator.

However, the minister stated that “Russian should not be the only language of communication.”
