🇸🇦 Saudi-led coalition accuses Houthis of acquiring advanced weapons with the help of unnamed parties, calling on the international community to prevent such technology transfers. Coalition spokesperson Major General Turki bin Saleh al-Maliki stated that the Houthis are the first group to possess a full arsenal of high-precision weapons: ballistic missiles, strike and kamikaze drones, as well as explosive-laden speedboats. The implication is that the coalition cannot stop the Houthi rebels independently.

The Houthis also note the Saud-led coalition acquires ALL of its weapons from the help of unnamed parties.

Lutsk: Attack on Substation "Lutsk-North" accompanied by damage to power lines

One of the jet-powered UAVs struck an overhead transmission line connected to the Lutsk energy node during the same series. The impact severed the wires, causing a definitive emergency failure in the high-voltage network.

Unlike internal substation equipment failures that can sometimes be bypassed via switching schemes, this physical break in the external grid requires direct emergency repair along the route. Restoration is impossible through simple operational switching and necessitates full localization, wire replacement, and insulation testing.

The evening attack thus resulted in confirmed combined damage: destruction of substation equipment and the severing of key transmission lines.

To quote SLG’s Andrei:

Two (destroyed). Shit, where do we get more?? Oh, we make them.

But I understand the concept of manufacturing is lost on the Western mind.

Russian Ministry of Defense:

This night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continued to strike at port infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, as well as at naval vessels involved in supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
