Badassniggga:they have picked the the drone and planning to send it to Iran for reverse engineering 😁😁 |
Very fierce battles are raging around the city of Bakhmut in the eastern part of Ukraine, and Oleksandr Syrskyi, a colonel in the Ukrainian army, says the situation is very difficult. He said this on Telegram, according to CNN. One of the reasons for the predicament is that the Russians sent Wagner’s most experienced mercenaries to the city. Syryskyi said that despite heavy Russian casualties, they deployed the most experienced Wagnerian troops and are now trying to break through the Ukrainian soldiers’ defenses and encircle the city. The Russians slowed down their operations in and around the city, and the Ukrainian troops struggled to keep their way in and out of the city. |

The head of Russia’s mercenary Wagner Group has claimed to have secured control of the salt mining town of Soledar in Ukraine’s east, but uncertainty remains amid continued battles in the city centre. Soledar has been the focus of days of intense fighting as Russia has viewed it as key to its campaign for the nearby strategic city of Bakhmut and Ukraine’s larger eastern Donbas region. It was not possible to verify the conditions on the ground, and Ukrainian officials have not commented on the situation. “Wagner units took control of the entire territory of Soledar. A cauldron has been formed in the centre of the city in which urban fighting is going on,” Russian news agencies reported Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as saying late on Tuesday. “The number of prisoners will be announced tomorrow,” Prigozhin added. The encircled Ukrainian soldiers had been given an ultimatum to surrender by midnight (22:00 GMT), the group said on Telegram. Soledar is about 15km (9 miles) from Bakhmut, and its capture would have symbolic, military and commercial value for Russia. The Russian state RIA news agency later issued a report saying that Wagner Group had taken over Soledar’s salt mines following “fierce fighting”, while Prigozhin shared a photo of himself surrounded by his mercenaries in what he said was one of the mines. Still, the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington, DC-based think tank, expressed caution about the Russian claims. “Russian forces have not captured the entirety of #Soledar despite false Russian claims that the city has fallen and that #Bakhmut risks imminent encirclement,” it said in a Twitter thread, noting that Prigozhin himself had acknowledged urban warfare was continuing. Heavy cost Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not mention control of Soledar in his regular video address on Tuesday evening when he repeated his call for more Western weapons, saying Russia was looking to intensify its military campaign. He did not provide details. But Ukraine’s Defence Ministry tweeted late on Tuesday, “Even after suffering colossal losses, Russia is still maniacally trying to seize Soledar — home to the largest salt mine in Europe.” Source Aljazeera |
assault on the town of Soledar in eastern Ukraine, as Ukrainian troops face waves of attacks, officials in Kyiv say. Britain's defence ministry also said Russian and forces of Russia's Wagner contract group were probably now in control of most of the small salt mining town after advances in the last four days. Soledar, in the industrial Donbas region, lies a few miles from Bakhmut, where troops from both sides have been taking heavy losses in some of the most intense trench warfare since Russia invaded Ukraine nearly 11 months ago. "Russia's Soledar axis is highly likely an effort to envelop Bakhmut from the north, and to disrupt Ukrainian lines of communication," Britain said in an intelligence briefly. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address Bakhmut and Soledar were holding. He cited new and fiercer attacks in Soledar, where he said no walls had been left standing and claimed the land was covered with corpses, Wagner was founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Drawing some recruits from Russia's prisons and known for uncompromising violence, it is active in conflicts in Africa and has taken a prominent role in Russia's war effort in Ukraine. Wave of attacks Prigozhin has been trying to capture Bakhmut and Soledar for months. He said its significance lay in a network of cavernous mining tunnels below the ground, which can hold troops or tanks. Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov said fighting in Bahkmut and Soledar was "the most intense on the entire frontline". "So many remain on the battlefield ... either dead or wounded," he said on YouTube. "They attack our positions in waves, but the wounded as a rule die where they lie, either from exposure as it is very cold or from blood loss. No one is coming to help them or to collect the dead from the battlefield." Reuters could not immediately verify battlefield reports. In an evacuee centre in nearby Kramatorsk, Olha, 60, said she had fled Soledar after moving from apartment to apartment as each was destroyed in tank battles. "There isn't one house left intact. Apartments were burning, breaking in half," said Olha, who gave only her first name. |

The body of American fighter Joshua Jones, call sign “Jesus”, was returned to Ukraine as part of a prisoner swap in mid-October. 24-year-old Joshua Jones, a Memphis native and a devout Christian, was killed in Kharkiv Oblast in August while fighting alongside the Ukrainian military. “I’m proud of my son. He was selfless in risking his life for a country that we have no connection to. But he felt the calling, and there was no talking him out of it.” said his mother, adding that it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off her shoulders. The Ukrainians said that they were able to identify the body by Joshua’s tattoos and other marks. The Russians had sent photos of the body in advance. “Joshua was a soldier; he was a born soldier. He was named after the battle of Jericho, and he proved he lived up to his name so valuably.” stated his mother. |

North Korea launches biggest ever ICBM with ‘potential to strike entire US mainland’ Test may involve the new Hwasong-17, North Korea’s most advanced ICBM to date North Korea has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile that has the potential to strike the entire US mainland, the Japanese defence minister said on Friday. The ICBM flew around 1,000 km before it landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone, reaching a maximum altitude of around 6,100km, the South Korean military said. It was North Korea’s second suspected test of banned long-range missiles this month, and its eighth launch this year. The ICBM was fired from North Korea’s Sunan area in the capital Pyongyang at 10.15am local time (02.15am GMT), military chiefs in South Korea said. Japanese defence minister Yasukazu Hamada said depending on the weight of a warhead to be placed on the missile, the weapon has a range exceeding 15,000km (9,320 miles), “in which case it could cover the entire mainland United States. North Korea fires new ballistic missile off east coast, ignoring warnings from Biden He described a similar missile trajectory to that observed by the South Korean military, adding that the altitude achieved suggests the missile was launched at a high angle. Japan’s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, condemned the test and said the missile appeared to have landed 200km west of the Japanese island of Hokkaido, inside its exclusive economic zone. He said there had been no reports of damage to ships or aircraft. “We naturally lodged a strong protest against North Korea, which has repeated its provocations with unprecedented frequency,” Mr Kishida told reporters in Thailand. “We have told [Pyongyang] that we absolutely cannot tolerate such actions.” The launch is suspected to be of the new Hwasong-17, North Korea’s longest-range two-stage ICBM, according to South Korean defence sources, reported Yonhap. Its trajectory was similar to North Korea’s claimed test of a Hwasong-17 on 22 March. That projectile flew for 67.5 minutes to a maximum altitude of 6,248.5 km (3,905 miles), according to North Korean media. South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol condemned the launch, saying he would work with the international community for a coordinated response to the North‘s repeated missile launches. It came as US vice president Kamala Harris was in Thailand for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit amid heightened geopolitical tensions over the war in Ukraine and flashpoints in Asia, including Taiwan and North Korea. It was Pyongyang’s second test in two days at a time when there are concerns North Korea could also carry out a major nuclear weapons test. On Thursday, the hermit kingdom fired a short-range ballistic missile from the eastern coastal Wonsan area in Kangwŏn Province, breaking an eight-day lull in tests. That came after North Korea’s foreign minister Choe Son Hui warned of a “fiercer” military response to the US for its joint drills with South Korea and a renewed security commitment to allies in Seoul and Japan. It was also Pyongyang’s first response to US president Joe Biden’s trilateral summit with Japanese and South Korean leaders in Cambodia on the sidelines of the Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) summit. Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, says more governments should collectively hold North Korea accountable because its pariah state behaviour is not just a problem for Washington and its allies but a growing global threat. “Pyongyang is trying to disrupt international cooperation against it by escalating military tensions and suggesting it has the capability of holding American cities at risk of nuclear attack.” North Korea’s ballistic missile tests are banned by United Nations Security Council resolutions. On 3 November, North Korea launched an ICBM which failed mid-flight at high altitude, South Korea said. Analysts said the launch appeared to also be of the Hwasong-17, but it failed to fulfil its completed flight trajectory and fell into the ocean at the separation stage. North Korea has been actively testing two other types of ICBM – Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15 – and their launches in 2017 proved they could potentially reach parts of the US homeland.

Russia again unleashed missiles on Thursday against Ukrainian energy facilities, while its forces stepped up attacks in eastern Ukraine, reinforced by troops pulled from Kherson city in the south which Kyiv recaptured last week. NATO and Poland concluded that a missile that crashed in Poland on Tuesday, killing two people, was probably a stray fired by Ukraine’s air defences and not Russian. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky contested this view in a rare public disagreement with his Western allies. As the winter’s first snow fell in Kyiv, authorities said they were working hard to restore power nationwide after Russia earlier this week unleashed what Ukraine said was the heaviest bombardment of civilian infrastructure of the nine-month war. Explosions resounded in cities including the southern port of Odesa, the capital Kyiv, the central city of Dnipro and the southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia, where officials said two people were killed. “Missiles are flying over Kyiv right now,” Interfax Ukraine news agency quoted Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal as saying. Zelensky posted video footage, apparently shot from a car cam, showing a driver’s journey through Dnipro being interrupted by a huge blast ahead that sent flames and black smoke pouring into the sky Canadian volunteer soldier Joseph Hildebrand, a 33-year-old farmer from Saskatchewan, was killed in a combat and evacuation mission near Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast, CBC reports. He had no family ties to Ukraine, but having previously served two terms in Afghanistan as part of the Canadian contingent, he wanted to help the Ukrainian people. He left Canada for Ukraine on June 11. Details of the operation remain confidential, but 9 of the 12 members of his international unit were killed along with the Canadian. Joseph’s brother Jake said he never talked much about Ukraine. He said his brother was “incredibly brave”, having enlisted in the Canadian military and serving two tours in Afghanistan. He saw combat, but also worked as a trainer for Afghan forces, Jake said. “He just made up his mind and and went to Ukraine,” his cousin Carl said. “He was killed pulling other guys out that were injured. That’s exactly who he is. The most selfless man I’ve ever known.” said his partner Carissa. Carissa plans to spread Joseph’s ashes on the land behind his farm - right where he always wanted to be. Joseph Hildebrand leaves behind his partner Carissa and daughter Jovi.

Pointing fingers at Russia over the missile explosion in Poland would further escalate tensions, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said. "I need to respect Russia's statement. In this regard, it is important for us that Russia says, 'This has nothing to do with us'," the president told a press conference today (November 16) on the sidelines of the G20 Bali Summit in Indonesia. Late yesterday, a missile explosion near Poland's border with Ukraine killed two people. "While we are endeavoring to bring Russia and Ukraine around the same table, there is no need to find any third partner to this war," Erdoğan added.

Initial findings suggest the missile that hit Poland was fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian missile, according to US officials. It comes after US President Joe Biden said it is “unlikely” the missile that killed two people in Nato-ally Poland was fired from Russia, but pledged support for Poland’s investigation into what it had called a “Russian-made” missile. Three US officials said preliminary assessments suggested the missile was fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian one amid the crushing salvo against Ukraine’s electrical infrastructure on Tuesday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity. Mr Biden’s comments after he convened an “emergency” meeting of the G7 and Nato leaders in Indonesia early on Wednesday morning for consultations on the attack that killed two people in the eastern part of Poland near the Ukraine border. “There is preliminary information that contests that,” Mr Biden told reporters when asked if the missile had been fired from Russia. “It is unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia, but we’ll see.” The president, who was awakened overnight by staff with the news of the missile explosion while in Indonesia for the Group of 20 summit, earlier called Polish President Andrzej Duda to express his “deep condolences” for the loss of life. It comes after US President Joe Biden said it is “unlikely” the missile that killed two people in Nato-ally Poland was fired from Russia. Picture: Alex Brandon/AP It comes after US President Joe Biden said it is “unlikely” the missile that killed two people in Nato-ally Poland was fired from Russia. Picture: Alex Brandon/AP Mr Biden promised on Twitter “full U.S support for and assistance with Poland’s investigation”, and “reaffirmed the United States’ ironclad commitment to NATO”. He said that he briefed the allies on his conversations with Mr Duda and Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg and that there was “total unanimity among the folks at the table” to support Poland’s investigation into the attack. “I’m going to make sure we figure out exactly what happened,” Mr Biden said. “Then we’re going to figure out our next step.” Meeting at a large round table in a ballroom in his hotel, Mr Biden hosted the leaders of the G7, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the European Union, along with the president of the European Council and the prime ministers of Nato allies Spain and the Netherlands. A statement from the Polish Foreign Ministry identified the missile as being made in Russia. But Poland’s president was more cautious about its origin, saying that officials did not know for sure who fired it or where it was made. He said it was “most probably” Russian-made, but that is being still verified. If confirmed, it would be the first time since the invasion of Ukraine that a Russian weapon came down on a Nato country. The foundation of the Nato alliance is the principle that an attack against one member is an attack on them all.

Several regions of the Republic of Moldova were left without electricity on Tuesday evening due to Russian shelling in Ukraine, Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spînu announced. „Following Russia’s bombardment against the Ukrainian power system in the last hour, one of the power lines that provides electricity transmission for our country has disconnected in automatic mode (automatic load shedding by frequency). This led to massive power cuts throughout the country,” the Moldovan official announced. Areas of Chisinau, as well as the districts of Cimislia, Balti, Straseni, Hincesti, Leova, Cahul, Falesti, Singerei, Ungheni, Briceni were affected, according to TV8.md. He said that the lines in question were not damaged, but were automatically disconnected as a safety measure, and the state-owned Moldelectrica company is working to restore electricity connection. And the supplier Premier Energy Distributiona announced that at 16:37 there was a damaged disconnection in the transmission system operated by IS Moldelectrica, affecting a large number of consumers. „We ask consumers to show understanding, as this is outside the management area of the distribution system operator, assuring them that we are making every effort to maintain continuous electricity supply.” Data from the system operator Moldelectrica show that the electricity supply from Romania to the Republic of Moldova is completely cut off |
