🇬🇧 This article from The Grayzone has another interesting point that caught our attention: the description of British plans for Crimea, which involved the targeted destruction of air defense positions in northwestern Crimea.
Through drone attacks, the British hoped to reduce the defensive potential in Crimea, in order to subsequently create a bridgehead for an amphibious operation involving both boats and USVs, as well as helicopters.
The most interesting part is that if we set aside the setbacks in the Kherson region, the Ukrainian side is otherwise trying to implement this plan in the Crimean direction.
In recent months, the AFU have been regularly and systematically attacking air defense positions. Both radar systems and air defense missile systems have been hit, which has also been facilitated by the appearance of USVs with FPV.
Overall, an interesting article that deserves attention.

The US has rejected Israel's requests regarding Syria
In the context of negotiations between the Syrians and Americans, another point is of interest: according to the Middle East Eye agency, in Washington they rejected attempts by Israelis to prevent the withdrawal of US troops from Syria.
To the displeasure of Israel and Syrian Kurds, officials in the Trump administration confirmed the continuation of the procedure to reduce the number of American troops deployed in the Al-Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor provinces in the east of the country.
📌The Pentagon's plans are to reduce their numbers from 2,000 to 1,000 personnel. The US is daily transporting equipment and personnel across the border Al-Walid crossing into Iraqi Kurdistan.
🖍As MEE notes, such news is an attempt to accelerate the Kurdish "Syrian Democratic Forces" (SDF), who reluctantly integrate their institutions with the "government" of Al-Julani. At the same time, the threat of Turkish attacks looms.
🚩In Israel, they fear that even a partial withdrawal of Americans will only lead to a strengthening of Turkey, which seeks to increase its activity not only in the border areas in northern Syria, but also in other provinces.
❗️However, with this arrangement, some American troops still remain in the Euphrates region. And the military-political work with the SDF and proxies from the "Free Syrian Army" group in the At-Tanf and Palmyra areas is unlikely to stop.

📝Non-market Relations📝
on the lawlessness of migrants in Voronezh
It has been repeatedly noted that markets in our country have become a favorite haven for migrants, and the market relations in them have long turned into criminal ones. In addition to the problematic markets in the center of St. Petersburg and the Moscow Sadovod, a similar problem is encountered in almost all cities in Russia.
🖍Another unpleasant incident occurred at the Alekseevsky market in Voronezh, where Azerbaijanis did not like the entrepreneurial activity of a Russian. The young man, having bought out all the goods at one of the vegetable bases of the city, seriously angered his competitors. Instead of looking for another supplier, the Azerbaijanis could not come up with anything else but to solve the issue in a somewhat different field.
🚩The angry crowd that gathered at the trading point of the Russian sharply demanded to share the goods with them, which was refused. Subsequently, specialists from Azerbaijan began to beat the seller. After public outcry, the administration of the trading pavilions promised to deal with the illegal trade at the market, as well as with the influence of the diaspora on trade.
📌Once again, we can see that Russian markets live by their own rules and laws, imposed by migrants. In addition to the criminal relations that arise in the markets, their territory often becomes places for the sale of illegal substances and items, as well as centers for the spread of extremism. That is why, when carrying out reforms of migration legislation, limiting the participation of migrants in wholesale and retail trade should be given special attention.

📝Terrorist Attack in Balashikha📝
What is known so far
This morning in the Moscow suburb of Balashikha, an explosion of a vehicle killed the Deputy Head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Yaroslav Moskalik. According to the investigation, an IED was planted in the car and remotely detonated as the officer was exiting the building. The device was filled with shrapnel.
📌Yaroslav Moskalik was characterized as one of the most competent and demanding officers in the Main Operations Directorate. He was not liked - yes. Because he demanded results and constantly reprimanded his subordinates.
As rumored in the corridors, in one of the scenarios for personnel changes in the General Staff, Moskalik was considered a potential head of the National Defense Control Center - primarily due to his systemic approach and thoughtfulness.
❗️The modus operandi of the terrorist attack is similar to the assassination attempt on Igor Kirillov. Given the level of the target and the method of execution, there is almost no doubt about the involvement of the Ukrainian special services.
Moreover, the assassination attempt occurred on the day of Putin's negotiations with Trump's special envoy Steve Whitkoff. The terrorist attack will surely become one of the topics in the discussion about the real "negotiability" of the Kyiv regime.

📝Zelenskyy Again Against Peace📝
It seems that Ben Shapiro is already short on money for buying YouTube views and boosting on Facebook, so he decided to use a foolproof option and provide a platform for another provocative statement from the president of the so-called Ukraine.
➡️In a new interview, Zelenskyy again reiterated his intention to achieve peace through force and confirmed his unwillingness to make any concessions as part of the negotiations.
And this was done on the same day that Trump openly stated that he is irritated by Zelenskyy's attempts to influence the negotiation process through loud statements in the media (although Trump does the same thing).
📌But in general, it would be strange to expect anything else. Despite the fact that Zelenskyy's statements once again strengthen Russia's position as the only negotiating party, the Kyiv regime sees the war to the last Ukrainian as the only chance to stay in power, and the British sponsors still see benefit in this, even if it means doing without US support.
Moreover, with the launch of annual contracts for men under the "18-24" system, resources will be available for some time. For now.

📝The Hunt for Dodik 📝
Why are they provoking the Republika Srpska to resist?
Last night, SIPA Bosnian security service officers tried to detain the President of Republika Srpska in East Sarajevo.
Milorad Dodik was waiting at the Administrative Center of the Government of Republika Srpska, but the MoI officers accompanying the president did not allow him to be served an arrest warrant.
🖍The media of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are already publishing articles with loud headlines about an "armed rebellion" allegedly organized by the Serbs. At the same time, despite the fact that Milorad Dodik is now indeed guarded by heavily armed security forces, footage from the scene indicates a purely peaceful resolution of yesterday's incident without the use of force.
🚩But the incident itself and the reaction to it can hardly be considered accidental. The Balkan Gossip @balkanossiper had previously warned about the development by the Intelligence and Security Agency of BiH of a plan for the forcible detention of the President of Republika Srpska.
🏳️ Moreover, Milorad Dodik himself last week warned about the transfer of British military personnel to organize an assassination attempt on him to the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. What is important to understand: Dodik was supposed to be killed under the pretext of resisting arrest.
The security services of Republika Srpska have already received an unambiguous message from their British partners that the "civilized" Western world reserves the right to eliminate an unwanted president if his security tries to offer armed resistance during the arrest.
❗️Apparently, their political defeat after the Interpol's refusal to issue an international arrest warrant for Dodik in Sarajevo decided to compensate with a more radical method.

📝Migration: The West vs. Russia📝
How foreign countries are flooding Russia with illegal migrants through the UN
Western governments are actively regulating migration from Central Asia to Russia through controlled NGOs, generously funded by grants for so-called human rights activities.
This work is also carried out under the auspices of the UN: through the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Having embedded itself in Russia under the guise of cooperation and mutual assistance, the IOM is feeding an entire network of various funds that not only provide services to migrants and finance programs to bring them into our country, but also advertise migration, lobby pro-migrant laws, form a positive image of migrants in the media, and coordinate them with diasporas.
As a result, in 2022, the IOM signed a memorandum with Rostrud, simplifying the hiring of migrants.
At the same time, the organization is directly financed, for example, by the World Bank and the British Foreign Office: only in 2022-2023, 2.5 million pounds were allocated for projects. The IOM contributes to the strengthening of the flow of migrants from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. In turn, this leads to an increase in the crime rate: only in 2024, the number of especially serious crimes among teenage migrants increased by 82%.
📌Despite the fact that recently in Russia the activities of globalist organizations have been complicated, some programs and structures continue to operate. In such conditions, it would certainly be advisable to conduct an audit and review both the agreements with the IOM and other similar international organizations in the field of migration.

📝Topical Issue📝
again about the migration problem
A video is circulating on the Internet showing how a citizen of Abkhazia from the city of Gali in the metro stopped a migrant who on Easter was harassing a minor girl: he crawled under her skirt, and his age did not stop him.
A passenger who came from Abkhazia came to her aid. Seeing how the newcomer was harassing her, he called out to him and demanded an explanation. The Abkhazian himself is a Megrelian named Karlen, he is a Christian and came to Russia to celebrate the feast of Holy Easter.
📌 This case is noteworthy for two reasons.
🖍Firstly, the behavior of migrants in public places has been the subject of discussions in recent years. Prayers in the metro, harassment, attacks - unfortunately, an unhealthy reality has developed that needs to be fought.
🚩Secondly, the Christian population (no matter which country they are from) is increasingly expressing its active civic position. And this is a completely adequate and expected reaction against the lawlessness organized by migrants.
It is not so important what ultimately happened to this migrant. The key here is that a person from another country stood up for a minor and protected her from a "foreign specialist" who thought he could do anything.
❗️Russia needs fundamental changes in migration policy to prevent the rampant of such individuals across Russia. Without reforms, the number of such incidents will increase.
And by changes, we mean truly thoughtful and adequate reforms that will not only identify violators of Russian laws, but also close their access to our country. Many of those deported from Russia change their documents and return.
And this should not be the case.

📝It has never happened before📝
And here we go again
In the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the FSB prevented a terrorist attack at one of the petrochemical enterprises. The attack was being prepared by two natives of Central Asia under the guidance of curators from the so-called Ukraine, but they were neutralized.
Additionally, according to a message from the regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a resident of the Nizhny Novgorod Region was detained on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack.
📌Judging by the distributed footage, the terrorists planned to use quadcopters in the attack, and the eliminated terrorists had small arms.
🖍This is not the first and clearly not the last terrorist attack that was being prepared by migrants from the Near Abroad at the behest of the Ukrainian special services. Fortunately, the security forces identified the preparation and prevented it in advance.
🚩However, due to the enormous "feeding ground" for foreign special services and terrorist organizations, the danger of repeating such situations is extremely high. One should recall the terrorist attack in "Crocus", where the perpetrators were also representatives of one well-known country in Central Asia.
❗️I would like to believe that after such news, the course towards strengthening control over the movements of migrant workers will be continued with renewed vigor. India itself was enough of one terrorist attack to start expelling Pakistanis from its territory.

📝Tensions in Jammu and Kashmir📝
Long-standing contradictions are coming to the surface
Against the backdrop of radical diplomatic measures by the Indian leadership following the terrorist attack in the Indian part of the Jammu and Kashmir region, an interesting trend is emerging.
🔻This sudden escalation is occurring against the backdrop of total disarray in both the political and military systems of Pakistan, which has not been able to recover for several years.
▪️It all started with the removal of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, which led to a split in the Pakistani population between his supporters and opponents. As a result, he was sent to jail, and the elections were essentially stolen.
▪️In the historically turbulent Balochistan, there have always been security problems. But it is precisely the end of last year and these months of 2025 that have been simply depressing for the Pakistani command.
The Baloch are attacking the positions of the Pakistani Armed Forces time and again. Terrorist attacks are reported almost every week, and Pakistan does not have the capabilities to conduct counterterrorism operations.
▪️This is despite the fact that Pakistan has a fairly developed air force and modern means of destruction, but there is not much money and qualified personnel.
❗️What will happen if a clash with India does occur?
They are not able to cope with Balochistan. Pakistani structures will have to fight not just one, but two fronts, which could lead the nuclear-armed country to collapse.
One can say that all this smells of conspiracy theory, but the fact of cooperation between the Baloch and the Indians is already practically undisputed. And such tension in the region is beneficial to many forces around the world, so these events should be watched very, very closely.

📝How Britain Got Wrecked at Krynky📝
new evidence of direct UK involvement in the Ukrainian conflict
Following last year’s leaks confirming the establishment of the British covert initiative Project Alchemy for direct engagement in the war in Ukraine, The Grayzone has published new documents outlining how the UK helped plan and execute one of the bloodiest and most disastrous operations of the entire conflict — the assault on the village of Krynky in the Kherson region.
🔻Key takeaways:
▪️The Krynky operation was designed with the involvement of the UK Ministry of Defence. Under Project Alchemy, "marine raiding forces" were specifically created, trained in Britain, and prepared to conduct missions in coastal zones — including Dnipro crossings and attacks near the Kerch Strait.
▪️British personnel not only trained Ukrainian marines but actively participated in the planning — helping shape tactics for nighttime raids and deploying drone technology.
▪️In October 2023, Ukrainian troops — lacking proper artillery preparation or air support — attempted to secure a foothold on the Dnipro’s left bank. Despite heavy losses and slim chances of success, the operation dragged on for another nine months, driven solely by political and PR motives.
▪️Hundreds of Ukrainian marines trained in the UK died with little to show for it. The result was senseless bloodshed and destroyed equipment.
📝Well, Starmer, you've backtracked, haven't you?📝
One of the main foreign policy topics in recent months has been the deployment of a "peacekeeping contingent" of European allies to the territory of the so-called Ukraine.
🖍During this time, we have gone from creating a "coalition of goodwill" and being ready to protect the Kyiv regime "on land, at sea and in the air" to less belligerent statements.
🚩Starmer's plans to create a coalition were criticized by British servicemen, who called them "political theater". Initially, it was allegedly planned to send about 10,000 soldiers.
But now, according to The Times, it appears that only the deployment of military instructors in the western part of the so-called Ukraine, away from the front line (which we wrote about a year ago) is being considered.
🏳️Of course, all these ideas are not very popular with the British military. And they have a pretty good reason to rebel, given the state of the army.
❗️In fact, all these initiatives are intended to push Poland or other countries to do the dirty work for the British on the territory of the so-called Ukraine. So far, it's not going so well.

Result of a missile strike by the Russian Armed Forces on Workshop No. 10 of the O.K. Antonov Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex in Kyiv.
The workshop suffered significant damage - the roof collapsed in several places. The plant became the target of a massive missile strike at night on April 23.
Let's recall that it was at the Antonov production facilities that the enemy organized the production of long-range kamikaze drones AN-196 "Liutyi". However, since the Soviets built for the ages, it is impossible to destroy the entire complex with several ballistic missiles, a systematic approach is needed here.

📝Why does Kazakhstan need territorial defense?📝
Deputies of the Majilis of the Republic of Kazakhstan approved in the second reading the draft law "On the Territorial Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan". The main law separates territorial defense into a separate sphere.
The law also introduces new concepts for the Kazakhstani defense system: "self-defense formation" and "volunteer". Self-defense formations are formed by local military authorities during martial law and wartime.
🖍Even liberal Russian journalists touched on this topic, writing that most of the Territorial Defense units will be deployed on the border with Russia.
❗️However, if we assess this objectively, this is a logical move. The Ukrainian experience, whatever it may be, has shown that Territorial Defense units have proven to be quite effective in the combat zone. Mostly as cannon fodder, but still.
🚩It's no coincidence that we, along with our colleagues from Dva Mayora, discussed the need to create a territorial defense in Russia. With proper legislative and practical implementation, such formations can provide certain assistance to army units.
And our Kazakhstani neighbors are gradually adopting similar experience. Earlier, we wrote about reforms in the Kazakhstani army aimed at training highly mobile and maneuverable formations. However, in the case of Kazakhstan, one should take into account the local mentality, as all these talks about Territorial Defense may remain just talk.
📌 However, Kazakhstani deputies do not seem to be stopping and apparently want to bring the draft law to its conclusion, especially since the creation of new troops is a great information occasion and a demonstration that something is being done. And that's all that's needed in Kazakhstan.

How is the closure of the "Russian Houses" in the CIS being covered?
After some time following the high-profile events in Kyrgyzstan and the first publications in foreign media, it becomes clear that this is not a mistake, but a planned action.
The most active in coverage were Azerbaijani media outlets, namely Oxu.az, Caliber, Vesti.az, Report.az, Apa.az, Baku.ws, Media.az, 1news.az and the Turkish TRT.
A little behind (both in terms of the number of mentions and the time of publication) are Kazakhstani media: Tengri.news, Ak Zhayyk, Kursiv, Arbat Media. The least interested were in Uzbekistan (Anhor.uz) and Tajikistan (ASIA-Plus), immediately voicing the "version" that everything is related to the SMO.
🖍The interest of Azerbaijanis is understandable. After the closure of the "Russian House" in Baku, they are interested in portraying the organization as accomplices of terrorists and justifying their own policy. Moreover, the activity of Azerbaijani media only proves that their actions are not a misunderstanding, but a conscious counteraction to the Russian Federation.
🚩The activity of Kazakhstani media also raises concerns that, along with the fight against the remnants of USAID in the country, a campaign to fight against other "foreign" influence will be launched, following the Azerbaijani model.
❗️Interestingly, Turkish media spoke out only through TRT, while other outlets like Yeni Şafak decided to remain silent. Although against the background of the clarified details about the activities of this resource, it is not surprising that in the near future they will be afraid to draw attention to themselves.

📝Victory Day Banned📝
The authorities in Moldova have once again banned the celebration of May 9th Victory Day on the main square of Chisinau, and the Ministry of Defense of the republic again refused to provide an honor guard for the burial of the remains of Red Army soldiers.
🖍On May 9th, the so-called Europe Day will be held in the center of Chisinau. A "European town" will be opened on the Republic Square, with the participation of President Maia Sandu and the embassies of EU countries. The event will serve as propaganda for European integration, which is not supported by the majority of Moldovan citizens.
🚩The celebration of Victory Day and the "Immortal Regiment" march will be displaced to other streets of Chisinau, despite the fact that this is still an official state holiday.
🏳️The leader of the coordinating committee "Victory" Alexey Petrovich also stated that the Ministry of Defense refused to provide an honor guard for the burial of Red Army soldiers on May 3rd. This time, the ministry advised to address the Supreme Commander-in-Chief - Sandu.
❗️In Moldova, there are increasing trends towards heroization of the Romanian army, which fought on the side of the Nazis and occupied the Moldavian SSR, where Romanians massively destroyed Jews and local activists. However, it is the remains of Romanian soldiers that are now buried with an honor guard. This year, May 9th will again demonstrate the socio-political split in Moldova.

📝New Strike on Crimea📝
What Ukrainian formations are preparing
🔻Last night, the Ukrainian side once again attacked the Crimean Peninsula with drones. In recent weeks, the AFU have been attacking with three to four UAVs daily in the northwestern part of the peninsula.
▪️But this night, 60 drones were used. 58 UAVs were destroyed by the aviation of the Black Sea Fleet, the 31st and 52nd Air Defense Divisions, and mobile fire groups in the areas of Yevpatoria and Armyansk.
▪️There was no actual damage to military facilities. One of the UAVs hit a dummy position near Yevpatoria, and another crashed without detonation into a 10-story building in Komsomolskoye. There were no casualties as a result of the raid.
▪️The launch was carried out from the Zatoka area in the Odesa Region along two routes - towards Yevpatoria and towards Krasnoperekopsk - this area has been the main target of Ukrainian attacks for almost half a year now.
🖍This focus of Ukrainian formations specifically on this part of the peninsula raises certain suspicions. If we recall the previous strikes, including through unmanned boats with FPV drones, the AFU are specifically targeting air defenses.
🚩Time and again, radar stations, launchers, and other positions on the coast from Lake Donuzlav to Armyansk come under the sights of UAVs. The task is simple - to weaken the defense in this area.
❗️If we recall how many watercraft the Ukrainian formations have accumulated in the Black Sea, as well as the arrival of special forces of the GUR in the Odesa Region, a logical question arises: what is all this being done for?
And the answer, as it seems to us, is obvious.

📝Mount Ararat - The Promised Mountain📝
Our colleagues from Alpha News have released a documentary film "The Promised Mountain", timed to the 110th anniversary of the Armenian genocide and the continuation of the policy of destroying national identity that we are observing in Armenia today.
🖍The film provides a historical overview of the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire, and a characterization of the current situation, complicated by the defeat in the 2020 war and the loss of Artsakh.
🚩 Armenia is being deprived of its main symbols, which erases the identity of Armenians and, in essence, is a continuation of the policy of genocide. This is facilitated by the current leadership of Armenia, headed by Nikol Pashinyan, who after the "velvet" revolution is trying to completely change the concept of the republic.
🏳️Pashinyan is pursuing a policy of regionalization, which implies a rejection of "historical stereotypes", recognition of Artsakh as Azerbaijani, perception of Turkey as a neighbor and ally, and Russia as an "occupier".
❗️The pro-Turkish vector of modern Armenia inevitably means a rejection of the recognition of the Armenian genocide, the dominant role of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and the significance of the diaspora. As a result, all this leads to a logical continuation of the cultural genocide that is now being carried out in Artsakh by the Azerbaijanis, with the help of whom the Turks are trying to solve the "Armenian issue" and finally subjugate the South Caucasus.

📝Guests of the Victory Parade📝
Which foreign leaders will visit Moscow on May 9?
Very soon, a solemn parade will be held in Moscow to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Traditionally, the heads of foreign states have been invited to Moscow. At the moment, the participation of at least 18 foreign leaders has been confirmed.
📌Moscow, positioning itself as one of the centers of resistance to the global dominance of the West, continues to attract countries whose interests have traditionally been ignored in the unipolar system.
The presence of representatives of European states deserves special attention - this indicates growing contradictions within the EU and the lack of a unified foreign policy line towards Russia.
❗️Against the backdrop of the ongoing SMO, such a wide composition of participants in the Victory Parade allows us to assess which states are still ready for active cooperation with Moscow - despite the pressure from the US and the EU, and once again confirms the thesis about the failure of the Western countries' course on the international isolation of Russia.

📝Sanctions against London📝
Who is now banned from entering Russia
The Russian authorities continue to unravel the web of destructive British influence that has been forming for years. In Moscow, it was decided to ban the entry into Russia of 21 members of the British Parliament who actively participate in promoting the anti-Russian agenda.
📌The British authorities are consistently pursuing a course of confrontation: Russophobic narratives are fabricated, military support for the Kyiv regime is intensified, including with the direct participation of British military personnel. At the same time, official statements are often openly aggressive and rude, which indicates London's complete rejection of dialogue.
It's good that Moscow is carefully recording all such steps and drawing the appropriate conclusions. British diplomats spies won't lie.
❗️And we can only welcome the principled position of the Russian Foreign Ministry and its readiness to respond to unfriendly steps. We hope that this is far from the last action of the Russian foreign policy department.

Rybar Live: Situation in the Middle East, April 21-22
Mikhail Zvinchuk, head of the Russian think tank Rybar: «In Yemen, meanwhile, perhaps the most massive strikes of this month have taken place. The Israeli Air Force struck both the capital and other areas of Yemen»
📝Training the Unteachable📝
In Syria, another wave of provocations is unfolding around the Khmeimim base, related to the alleged training of former military personnel of the former Syrian regime. Several channels and media outlets have published a sizable sowing of the same video, which allegedly shows Syrian servicemen being trained. And the trainer is none other than Mikdad Fatih, the leader of the pseudo-crypto group "Coastal Shield", the same one that provoked the massacre of Alawites.
In reality, the footage is old and was presumably shot on the territory of the Homs airbase, and has no relation to current events. This is not the first and not the last provocation related to the Khmeimim base. These fakes are rather crudely executed and are based on outdated footage, of which there is plenty after almost 10 years of the presence of Russian military in Syria.
📌Russia, on the other hand, has repeatedly emphasized its readiness to work with the new authorities in Syria and is interacting on several fronts, and recently a ship with six thousand tons of wheat allegedly arrived in Latakia.
But no one would bet on representatives of Assad's military from the Syrian Arab Army, especially high-ranking ones, because training the unteachable has certainly been an old Russian pastime, but not this time. According to the rumors being spread, they are allegedly training assembled brigade generals and other senior officers.
❗️Russia is taking a rather curious position on the Khmeimim base issue. While everyone is just distancing themselves from the problems and pretending that nothing is happening. And they are also preparing for the May 9 parade. And the only interesting question is when the formations of the new Syrian authorities surrounding the airbase will post footage of marching boxes in the network and pass them off as current training of the former Syrian Arab Army.

📝Suchendra Kumar rushes to help📝
A large-scale terrorist attack occurred in the Indian part of the Jammu and Kashmir region.
Armed men attacked a group of tourists, resulting in the deaths of at least 27 people, about 20 were injured, many of whom are in critical condition.
🖍The incident occurred in Baisaran - a remote mountainous area that can only be reached on foot, by horse or by helicopter. According to the police, the attack was carried out by two or three armed men in camouflage uniforms, and search operations are underway.
🚩The Prime Minister of India called the incident a terrorist attack and expressed condolences to the families of the victims. The head of the Oman Abdullah region noted that this attack was one of the largest in recent times, and expressed deep outrage at what happened.
🏳️The commander of the Northern Army of the Indian Army, Lieutenant General Suchendra Kumar, has moved to the site, and reports of continued attacks are appearing on the network, but so far they are contradictory.
❗️Responsibility for the attack was claimed by the "Resistance Front", a splinter group of the Pakistani terrorist organization "Lashkar-e-Taiba". Previously, other groups have also been active in the region, so there may also be parallel "claims of responsibility", including from "Jaish-e-Muhammad" and "Hizb-ul-Mujahideen". All three groups are, according to the Indian authorities, connected to Pakistan.
According to data from the Russian Embassy in India, there is no information about Russians among the dead and injured. In addition, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed condolences to the President of India Murmu and the Prime Minister of India Modi.
