Ukraine attempted to attack the city of Rostov-on-Don with up to 8 FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles.

However, all of the missiles were shot down. They flew through Donetsk and Rostov Oblasts - regions with a much higher density of Russian air defence systems compared to areas further east.

Out of the last five Flamingo missile attacks, three resulted in every single missile being intercepted, while two (both on the Avitek military plant in Kirov) saw one impact each.

Russia has clearly adapted their approach to countering Flamingo cruise missiles, achieving a much higher interception rate compared to the initial attacks earlier this year.

These look like secondary detonations.

It is odd how many ammunition depots have been exploding in Ukraine recently.

On June 22 in Pavlohrad, on July 21 in Kamianske, and now today in Khmelnytskyi. Could be a coincidence, or could be Russian intelligence operations. No way to know right now.

‼️UKRAINIAN POST‼️

Three significant explosions occurred in Khmelnytsky resulting from the detonation of ammunition.

Local reports indicate that the initial explosion was not preceded by an air raid siren. This was followed by a large fire and two subsequent explosions, accompanied by continuous detonations. The site reportedly housed a warehouse and a production facility. Metal fragments and burning debris were scattered over hundreds of meters, and the area has been cordoned off. Residents express concern regarding a potential recurrence of the tragedy in Vishnevoye near Kyiv, where entire streets were destroyed by fire, resulting in total loss for the inhabitants. Authorities are reported to be offering only promises of compensation rather than any immediate assistance.

It should be noted that this facility, described as a "warehouse," clearly contained weapons and was situated adjacent to a residential area. Obviously, such weapons warehouses will not be relocated to sites further from the city, as they would become vulnerable targets for Russian missiles. Using "human shields" apparently increases the likelihood of preserving the weapons, while the lives of ordinary citizens are simply of no concern to those in power at Bankova Street.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇶/🇮🇷 BREAKING: The United States has already withdrawn several Patriot batteries from Erbil, and will withdraw all of its remaining military forces from Iraqi Kurdistan by September 30th, 2026

The move comes after repeated Iranian drone and missile attacks against U.S. targets in the area, which have become increasingly difficult to defend against.

It would mark Iraq’s first time without an American military presence since 2003, after more than 23 years of occupation. – Al Monitor

Zelensky claimed today that Ukraine has suffered 50,000 soldiers killed in action so far during this war.

In February 2026, he claimed that 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed.

Apparently, according to Zelensky, Ukraine has achieved the ability to resurrect soldiers from the dead. But I guarantee you there will be people doing insane mental gymnastics to somehow justify this.

By the way, if we were to completely ignore the figure of 55,000 in February and take into account Zelensky's earlier claim of 46,000 KIA in February 2022, that would give us a hypothetical Ukrainian KIA rate of 222 per month, or around 7.4 per day.

Zelensky claims that 28,000 Russian soldiers were killed in June (933 per day), which would give us a hypothetical death ratio of 126:1 in favour of Ukraine...

Essentially, Zelensky is claiming that more Russian soldiers are killed in 1 day than confirmed Ukrainian deaths in more than 4 months. Although, he has stated that there are a significant number of "missing" Ukrainian soldiers.
