Dear Ukrainians; Due to a massive attack, public transport in Lviv is not yet running on routes. Stay in the shelter. Do not go to outside.

15 drones were spotted over Belgium’s Elsenborn military base near the German border early Friday, VRT News reports. They were picked up during a test of anti-drone systems. Some reportedly crossed into Germany.

No Words: Dnipro in Flames

Dnipro is burning. Russia keeps tearing Ukrainian cities apart.
The footage shows the first minutes after a massive strike on the city — an office building in the very center hit and engulfed in fire. Smoke, chaos, and destruction where life was meant to go on as normal.

Drones struck the Karachev Electrodetal plant in Russia’s Bryansk region last night. The facility makes electrical connectors used in missile control systems, aviation, space tech, armored vehicles, communications, and other military equipment.

I no longer know what else to say.
My words won’t stop the missiles or melt the world’s indifference.
World leaders will once again “express concern”,
while we, Ukrainians, will keep living through air raids,
fighting and trying to stop russia,
which every day seeks to destroy us.

A guess: this would leak anyway, especially something on this scale; and every single person in the Pentagon except Hegseth rightly thinks that this is insane and hopes publicity will make it not happen.

It’s wild to me that the Pentagon is just… fine with reporting that most of our senior military are going to be in the same location.

Personal security nightmare.
