🇫🇷 Hackers turned supermarket refrigerators into heaters in France

Cybercriminals breached cooling systems of over 500 stores, including Intermarché, Super U, Carrefour, and Monoprix. Remote manipulation raised temperatures to 50 degrees, causing fires in some locations. Retail chains were forced to discard tons of spoiled products. Damages are estimated at millions of euros.

Lukashenko on Belarus's military readiness

Belarus is preparing for war solely to prevent it, not to attack anyone. Western media claims of an imminent Russian-Belarusian strike on the Baltics or Poland are false.

The narrative that Minsk intends to seize the Suwalki Corridor toward Kaliningrad is "complete stupidity," according to Lukashenko.

He also dismissed recent border incidents in Latvia involving masked figures as a provocation orchestrated by Riga itself to secure EU funding, denying any Belarusian involvement.

Olga and Tara welcome Larry Johnson, former CIA officer.

Why is the US-Russia diesel deal meaningless for the US — and massive for Russia? Did the deal violate laws Trump himself signed? And can it hold if, as Johnson claims, the CIA is a “wild card” pursuing its own agenda?

Can Washington really pressure Kiev? What would a halt to satellite data or a Starlink shutdown change on the battlefield? What does Larry Johnson believe changed in Russia’s approach after the Starobelsk college attack?

What does Larry Johnson mean when he calls Europe the “canary in the mineshaft”? Could Riyadh use its Treasury holdings to pull the US into its conflict with the Houthis? And with Trump caught in the Iran conflict before the midterms, does Johnson’s reading of US politics hold up?

🇷🇺 Kharkov: Strike on Osnova Locomotive Depot

On Oct 13, a Geran-3 drone hit the Osnova depot in Kharkov's Osnovyansky district. A previously damaged electric locomotive caught fire (80 sq m), but the key result is damage to the depot building itself.

Osnova is a major repair base for South Railway, servicing diesel fleets. While the train was already out of service, hitting the infrastructure threatens the ability to repair and return other locomotives to operation.

This follows strikes on the Kharkov-Glavny depot by Banderol drones, which damaged tracks and the lifting repair shop. These combined hits target different elements of the traction system, applying sustained pressure on Kharkov's railway logistics.

Kharkov: Repeat strike on Osnova depot

At 14:13, a Geran-3 drone struck the locomotive depot "Osnova" for the second time in one day. The device hit an open area of the facility, damaging an electric locomotive and perimeter fencing.

Morning attack details

Earlier at 10:02, another Geran-3 hit the same site, causing a fire in a previously damaged locomotive (80 sq m) and injuring the depot building. This represents two separate strikes on the industrial zone within four hours, significantly increasing cumulative damage.

Russia may begin deploying jet-powered Geran-6 drones with a warhead of up to 600 kg as early as 2027, according to Ukrainian media.

The new unmanned aerial vehicles will approach targets from significant altitude along a ballistic trajectory. The claimed range allows for striking targets across the entire territory of Ukraine, while the warhead mass can reach 600 kg.
