Heavy fighting is happening near Verbove, both Russian and Ukrainian sources report. Initial reports suggest that the AFU is entering the western outskirts of the settlement. pic.twitter.com/9k4tJgDpWi

Approximate situation near Verbove. The AFU has increased its forward presence to the outskirts of Verbove, meaning it has breached a section of the first line of defense west of the settlement.

These gains still need to be consolidated, but it looks good. pic.twitter.com/CvCBCxqmD3

Russian telegram admin and combatant Egor Guzenko "13th" was so impressed by the drone exhibition last night that he isn't sure anymore about "some kind of Victory". Shoyguy's daughter's new event featuring dancing and giveaways did not lift his spirit up. pic.twitter.com/f0AY6C9NNM

The Russian Defence Ministry ignored the Pskov strikes in its update this morning

But Vladimir Solovyov can’t contain his anger:

"What is happening?!… If we can’t cope with drones, how are we going to cope with F-16s?!" https://t.co/DdxdJG5IoB pic.twitter.com/Mpeiy5Q5Yf

Last night, the Kresty AB in Pskov Oblast, #Russia, home to the 334th Military Transport Aviation Regiment, was hit by a Ukrainian suicide drone attack.

According to Russian sources, 4 Il-76 heavy cargo aircraft were "damaged"- one can be seen burning fiercely in this footage. pic.twitter.com/iNRo9xgtNq

Dramatic collapse of net income for Russia’s Gazprom.

In addition, another Ukrainian deep-strike force operates east of Novoprokopivka.#Ukraine #Zaporizhzhia pic.twitter.com/vKrB6Kntul

Verbove is behind the 1st defensive line, it'd be a good take.

So these drone attacks in Russia, has Ukraine taken credit for them? or are they like partisan/local forces in Russia using drones to do all this? Reason I ask is if one flew 680kms from Ukraine over Belarus to get to it's target, pretty damn good effort evading everything in between.

They don't usually tend to scream from the rooftops it was them but it was definitely Ukraine, Lol. I believe these are the drones that Ukraine employs and the sheer amount of them, plus striking key targets across Russia, takes military knowledge. Budanov is just a major troll, Lol. There's no harm in claiming responsibility but I suspect it's a bit of payback for all the times Russia never claims responsibility.

Either Ukraine somehow managed to avoid a huge chunk of Belarus AD or Russian AD, or they have people operating inside of Russia.

I would love if that were people that Russia deported from Ukraine, that would then really bite them in the ass for pulling that move in the past.

Vladimir Solovyov was furious about Ukraine's latest drone attack. Blinded by rage, he revealed that Russian experts are urging the Kremlin to end this war and came close to admitting that Russia can't win with conventional weapons.https://t.co/YMSanFUYsd
