These @Maxar images show before & after on May 8, 2022, & May 15, 2023, of Bakhmut's palace of culture & central squares, the very heart of the city, where we all used to meet for food, drinks, conversation, strolls, & photos by the rose bushes. South square was once Lenin Square https://twitter.com/ChristopherJM/status/1658890128151003136/photo/1

These photos (1,2) from @Maxar show Bakhmut School No. 18, in the NW district of the city, and the surrounding apartments destroyed. And the college and university buildings (3,4) on Chaikovskoho Street, where I used to lecture in 2010-12, completely bombed out. https://twitter.com/ChristopherJM/status/1658891750356795392/photo/1

#Ukraine: A Russian Su-25 managed to return to the airfield after it was hit by a Ukrainian MANPADS. This is the second such known case since the beginning of the invasion, and once again confirms the high survivability of this type. Regardless, serious repairs will be required. https://twitter.com/UAWeapons/status/1535271617928081409/photo/1

Thank You to @pR13S7 for Updating me on this Type of Drone which appears to be called the “Beaver” and was recently created by the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a Long-Range “Kamikaze” Attack Drone. https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1663431175292043264/photo/1
