Update on the Marib front:

Ansar Allah forces are continuing their assault toward Marib from the southwest, attempting to advance toward Manin Al-Ashraf while pushing north along the Marib–Ataq Highway.

West of Marib, Ansar Allah forces are pushing eastward toward the city from the Sirwah Road and the Sanaa–Marib Highway. Clashes are already taking place on the outskirts of Marib.

In the northwest, elements of the Yemeni Army's 3rd and 7th Military Regions remain present and in control of the village of Asdas. There are no reports of clashes there so far.


Based on what we have seen on other fronts, many of which are collapsing rapidly, Asdas may not hold for long if Ansar Allah continues advancing. The situation around Marib is also becoming increasingly serious, with reports that military convoys have begun preparing for an evacuation should attempts to push Ansar Allah back fail.

🇷🇺🇺🇸⚔️🇺🇦 Russian forces dropped a customised Charlie Kirk FAB-500 bomb on Ukrainian forces from a Su-34 fighter-bomber to commemorate the anniversary of his assassination.

The bomb bore Charlie's portrait and his quote of "Ukraine will never defeat Russia", and the target was the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of the AFU.

Ukraine needs 100–120 Patriot missiles each month to successfully get through the winter and defend against Russian ballistic missile strikes

"We used to sell you (Europeans) gas at $150 per 1,000 cubic meters. 'That’s too expensive,' you said. Now you’re paying $1,000. And since storage facilities are empty, the price will hit $1,500 this winter... You got what you asked for."

The possibility of Putin's trip to the G20 summit has not even been discussed yet

🇷🇺 Reports are increasingly appearing in Russia that Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin will be removed from his post after the parliamentary elections this autumn and, following in the footsteps of his long-time enemy Sergei Shoigu, will be appointed to some insignificant position.

The reason is said to be the huge group of officials from his entourage who, over the 15 years of his rule in Moscow, have developed corruption on an unimaginable scale.

Sobyanin and his entourage are said to be facing an anti-corruption purge like the one carried out in the Ministry of Defense managed by Minister Shoigu.

The city of Moscow is struggling with many problems.
Developers friendly with members of the administration do whatever they want, demolish monuments, destroy infrastructure and parks, and build whatever they want and wherever they want.

For more than a dozen years, Moscow's roads have been in terrible condition, and the water supply and sewage systems require renovation.

The city has a deficit of half a trillion rubles ($6 billion), and most of the city's assets and companies have been sold off or have gone bankrupt.

There are also problems with public transport, which suffers from underfunding and old vehicles.

Sobyanin's administration controls many Russian media outlets and Telegram channels, which is said to cost huge amounts of money and to cause discontent within the leadership of the United Russia party, in which Sobyanin is a prominent figure.

🤡 Putin will exhaust Russia's ability to wage war against Ukraine by 2028

— head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, Ivashchenko.

He also stated that Russia recruits roughly 1,000 people daily, sometimes 1,200.

According to Ivashchenko, Belarus is forming a new airborne brigade 40 km from the Ukrainian border, but there is no short-term threat of a ground offensive.
