Russian drone operators drop a VOG-17/25 explosive grenade on an ammunition depot inside a Ukrainian trench somewhere on the frontline, resulting in a massive explosion.

New satellite imagery reveals the aftermath of Thursday’s rocket attack on Khor Mor Gas Field in Iraq's northern Kurdistan region.

The strike precisely impacted a fuel tank located northeast of the main plant, igniting extensive fires that spread towards the processing pipelines.

Russian Ilyushin Il-62M (#1551DF & RFF8466) from the 223rd Flight Unit State Airline (sanctioned by the US Treasury and linked to Wagner Group... now likely used by Wagner's replacement, the Africa Corps) departed a short while ago Khmeimim Air Base in western Syria, probably en route to Moscow.

It was used before as an emergency response and evacuation aircraft by the Russian Government and had a flight from Khmeimim to the African country of Togo yesterday.

Those flights to that African country is highly linked to a new agreement between Russian and Togo on Nov. 19 that was signed that day in the Kremlin during a visit by the President of the Togolese Council of Ministers to Russia's Vladimir Putin. This agreement provides for Togolese soldiers to be trained by Russian instructors, as well as intelligence sharing. It also allows each country to use the other's military ports, securing Russia a foothold in the Gulf of Guinea, where its warships and military aircraft can now dock.

Russian Armed Forces (AFRF) are carrying out an attack of Geran-2 UAVs against Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, with at least six impacts reported so far across the city, including hits in Solomyan, Shevchenkiv, Darnitsky, and Svyatoshyn districts. Ukrainian monitoring channels expect the arrival of Kalibr cruise missiles in the upcoming minutes.
