"Kyiv residents are advised to seal all windows and avoid using air conditioners because of the smoke resulting from last night's attack, exposure to which poses a significant risk to the respiratory system," according to family physician Vitalina Oleshchenko.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇴🇲 NEW: Iran struck an oil tanker 11 nautical miles off the coast of Oman, per UKMTO

@Middle_East_Spectator

🇨🇳Chinese intelligence company MizarVision believes that the intensity of US tanker flights over the Middle East remains abnormally high. This indicates Washington's readiness to rapidly escalate air operations and maintain a high tempo of combat air operations throughout the region.

According to open monitoring services, at least 122 sorties by KC-135 Stratotanker and KC-46A Pegasus tanker aircraft have been recorded over the past 72 hours—an average of approximately 41 missions per day. Of these, at least 21 sorties directly supported patrols and strike groups over the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.

🇺🇸/🇮🇷🔻The United States is advising its citizens in the Middle East to leave.

Inside Iranian source: expextion that this will be the fiercest round of fighting. USA/Israel will attack energy & infrastructure. Response from Iran will be a full out war. Middle East will burn.

🇮🇷⚡🇺🇸 Professor Seyyed Mohammad Marandi:

Based on statements from the Trump regime, it seems quite possible that after months of barbaric threats, tonight will be the last night of normality in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, and possibly Oman.

If strikes are carried out against Iran's civilian infrastructure, the critical infrastructure of these complicit regimes - along with that of the Zionist regime and perhaps Jordan- will be demolished.

People in these regimes should immediately prepare for evacuation.

Forward Russian assault groups are now just 4.7 km from the eastern outskirts of both Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.

In fact, Russian forces are now closer to both these cities than even Druzhkivka, where forward assault groups are approximately 5.1 km away.

However, its important to note that this is only for the eastern outskirts. The distance from the frontline to the centre of Kramatorsk is approximately 8.7 km, while the distance to Slovyansk city centre is about 13.4 km.

This time last year, Russian forces were around 17 km from the eastern outskirts of Kramatorsk and 20.6 km from Slovyansk. These final Donbas cities are slowly transforming into dead cities, becoming more and more unliveable for the civilian population. Soon they will fully complete the transformation from Zaporizhzhia-type civilian cities to Druzhkivka or Dobropillya-like military hubs.

Every day, they are increasingly being struck by KAB glide-bombs, artillery, MLRS, and drones of various types (including FPVs), resulting in large amounts of destruction to their infrastructure.

The Russian Ministry of Defence claims that over the last day, they struck a number of new targets in Odesa Oblast, Mykolaiv Oblast, and the western Black Sea.

These include fuel tanks at Odesa Port reportedly intended to supply the Ukrainian military, a naval tugboat at Mykolaiv Port reportedly converted to operate drone-boats, and a cargo vessel 8 km east of Zatoka (Odesa Oblast).

Today was the 22nd day of Russia's new massive strike campaign on Ukrainian port infrastructure.

Ukraine keeps changing defense ministers. Is that hurting the war effort?

Mykhailo Fedorov is the fourth person to leave the defense minister's post since Russia launched its full-scale invasion, an extraordinary turnover at one of the country's most critical ministries. His removal comes at an especially precarious moment, as Ukraine races to secure additional Patriot interceptors and launches multi-billion-dollar defense partnerships with allies.

The turmoil is also being felt inside the ministry. A Defense Ministry employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the repeated leadership shakeups have sparked a wave of resignations among staff, driven by uncertainty over the ministry's future.

Monuments throughout Kyiv have been enclosed in sandbags, wooden frames, and other temporary barriers since the start of the full-scale war to shield them from blast waves and shrapnel.

The decision to begin removing the protective structures, according to officials, followed a marked escalation in Russia’s deployment of ballistic missiles and other high-powered weaponry — threats that the protective structures are not designed to withstand.

"At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, protecting monuments with modular structures and sandbags was a necessary measure. It helped minimize the risk of damage from shrapnel and the blast waves of attacks at that time," Serhii Anzhyiak, director of the city's Department of Culture, said.

"However, after more than four years of war, the nature of the threats has changed, and so have our approaches to preserving monuments."
