โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ RFAF Advance on #Novopokrovskoye and #Umanskoye in #Avdeyevka Directionโšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ The RFAF are advancing from #Berdychi towards #Novopokrovskoye (in the north) and from from #Semyonovka/#Orlovka to the east of #Umanskoye and cling to the fortified area there.

โ—๏ธ As you can see, they faded out the village borders. The complete west of #Semyonovka is still unseized.

๐Ÿ“Œ Nevertheless, the pressure on #Umanskoye is now significantly increased after weeks of unsuccessful battles. In addition, things are also moving in the direction of #Novosyolovka1st on a broad front.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Israel for the first time admits April 19 retaliatory strike on Iranian base in Isfahan

The drone attack, which targeted a military base near the Iranian city of Isfahan, was a response to Iran's earlier retaliatory missile attack on Israeli military installations.

"We retaliated," Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev, a member of the Israeli security cabinet, said in an interview with local media. "Iran got the message, and the whole world watching understands that the State of Israel isn't a sucker."

This marks the first official acknowledgment of Israel's involvement in the incident.

On April 19, an Iranian base near the city of Isfahan was subjected to a drone strike possibly carried out by Israel in response to the April 14 Iranian missile attack on Israeli military installations, which, in turn, was an act of retaliation for the Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Syria earlier this month.

EU naval mission has very few warships left to defend against Houthi attacks - media

Three months after the launch of its Operation Aspides, the EU has faced a shortage of warships to protect merchant vessels in the Red Sea. After the withdrawal of the German frigate Hessen, there are only three warships left, making it impossible to continue the mission, Vasileios Gryparis, commander of the EU naval mission, said, as quoted by Der Spiegel.

It is also unlikely that the commander will receive additional ships soon. The Hessen is expected to be replaced with the frigate Hamburg, however, the warship will not arrive in the Red Sea until August, he added.

Last November, the Houthis vowed to attack any ships associated with Israel until it halts military actions in the besieged Gaza Strip. In this regard, on February 19, the EU launched Operation Aspides to secure navigation in the Red Sea amid ongoing attacks on civilian vessels. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the bloc's mission would not participate in actions against the Houthis, but would only ensure the safety of navigation.

Last resort? NATO secretly sets two โ€˜red linesโ€™ to directly meddle in Ukraine conflict โ€“ report

NATO โ€“ โ€œin a very confidential manner and without official communique - has established at least two red lines, beyond which there could be the allianceโ€™s direct intervention in the conflict in Ukraine,โ€ Italyโ€™s La Repubblica newspaper reported on Sunday.

NATO reportedly views this measure as the bloc's "last resort" due to concerns over the potential collapse of Ukraine in light of Russia's ongoing and successful offensive in multiple front-line areas.

โ–ช๏ธThe first red line purportedly pertains to alleged โ€œdirect or indirect interference of a third countryโ€ โ€“ such as Belarus - in the Ukraine conflict, a scenario that also stipulates the Russian army breaking through the Ukrainian militaryโ€™s defensive lines near the Ukraine-Belarus border.

โ–ช๏ธThe second red line is supposedly related to a possible โ€œmilitary provocationโ€ against Poland or the Baltic countries, as well as military actions against Moldova.

In the event that these two red lines are crossed, NATO will ostensibly be ready to use about 100,000 troops stationed in Hungary, Poland, the Baltic states, Romania and Slovakia. On the other hand, NATO currently โ€œdoes not have any operational plansโ€ for sending a military contingent to Ukraine as the US-led bloc is dealing with โ€œassessments of its possible actions in emergency situations,โ€ according to the La Repubblica.

Russia has repeatedly stressed that NATO is already directly involved in the Ukraine conflict, given the blocโ€™s ongoing training of and arms supplies to the Ukrainian military โ€“ something that Moscow warns will only lead to prolonging the standoff.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธIsrael-Gaza Conflict: May 5-6 (Recap)

1๏ธโƒฃ Israeli air attacks kill at least 10 Palestinians in Rafah as Hamas fires rockets at the Karem Abu Salem crossing, killing three Israeli soldiers and wounding 11 others.

2๏ธโƒฃ The latest round of negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza has ended in the Egyptian capital Cairo, but crucial gaps remain between Israel and Hamas.

3๏ธโƒฃ The Israeli cabinet has voted unanimously to close Al Jazeeraโ€™s operations in the country. The communications minister says the orders against the network โ€œwill go into effect immediatelyโ€. Al Jazeera calls the move a โ€œcriminal act that violates human rightsโ€.

4๏ธโƒฃ Medics and first responders in Gaza say at least 16 people were killed in Israeli air raids on the southern city of Rafah.

5๏ธโƒฃ Israeli military shells Syria after rockets fired at occupied Golan Heights.

6๏ธโƒฃ Hezbollah claimed 10 attacks (May 5) on Israeli positions, saying it used rockets to target the Margaliot settlement in northern Israel. It said the attack is in response to Israeli attacks on villages and civilian homes in southern Lebanon, especially on the town of Meiss el-Jabal. Hezbollah used dozens of rockets in its strikes today, with the Israeli military confirming that more than 60 were fired. In response, Israel said it struck some of Hezbollahโ€™s launch sites, in addition to mounting attacks on Hezbollah military infrastructure.

7๏ธโƒฃ UNโ€™s World Health Organization (WHO) says only a third of Gazaโ€™s 36 hospitals and 30 percent of its primary healthcare centres have some level of functionality.

At least 34,683 people including more than 15,000 children, have been killed and over 78,018 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธโš”๏ธ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 5 May 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Gaza Strip, the situation in the south of the enclave has worsened significantly. The Palestinians launched a rocket and mortar attack on IDF positions in the area of โ€‹โ€‹the Kerem Shalom checkpoint, killing three militants.

๐Ÿ”นIn the central part of the Enclave, the situation has not undergone significant changes. The Israelis continue to carry out attacks on various populated areas, and also reported the liquidation of one of the local warlords.

๐Ÿ”นIn the West Bank, regular raids by Israeli security forces took place, and in Jerusalem they prevented another knife terrorist attack by detaining the criminal.

๐Ÿ”นOn the border with #Lebanon, the situation has also worsened, where in the morning the Israeli Air Force launched a missile air strike on the city of Meis Al-Jabal, killing several civilians. After this, Hezbollah launched at least ten strikes on various populated areas and border facilities.

๐Ÿ”นFrom #Iraq and #Bahrain, pro-Iranian forces once again announced the launch of drones in Haifa and Eilat, but there were no reports of explosions, interceptions or alarms.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ The Weekly Readovka Report from 29 April - 5 May 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ดLocal advances in the #Avdeyevka direction, the dismantling of AFU fortifications near #ChasovYar and the revitalisation of the #Kupyansk sector. Over the Week, progress along the fronts in three directions.

๐Ÿ”ตIn the #Avdeyvka direction, our troops have captured the fortified defence triangle of #Ocheretino - #Arkhangelskoye - #Novokalinovo, and are ready to create with their advances new threats for the AFU.
๐ŸŸกSo far, the progress has been determined by the characteristics of the terrain and roads, but now it may receive a new development.

๐Ÿ”ตThe #Kupyansk sector, in #Svatovo direction, has a small but pleasant advance with the capture of the #Kotlyarovka village.
๐ŸŸกThe counterbattery fight and the destruction of enemy air defence systems continue.

๐Ÿ”ตNear #Bakhmut, in the area of #โ€‹โ€‹ChasovYar, a slow but persistent advance of the Russian Army's assault groups, accompanied by the destruction of enemy engineering fortifications with which this area is saturated.
๐ŸŸกDecisive advances should not be expected yet, because the terrain and its long preparation for defence are favorable to the AFU.

๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Two Majors #Report #Summary for the Morning of 6 May 2024; pub. 06:51๐Ÿ“

โš“๏ธNear #Crimea, for the first time in a long time, there are reports of the use of drone boats by the enemy. Up to 5 unmanned AFU boats were destroyed off the western coast, the target of which were military boats in one of the bays near the village of #Chernomorskoye. There were no casualties on our side.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Kherson direction, the RFAF are increasingly active in using FABs with UMPC on the enemy's shore, destroying concentrations of enemy forces. The enemy is responding with artillery and many drones. Two cases of the AFU using ammunition that causes severe burns in the victims have been reported, after which the upper layers of the victims' soft tissues are covered with a "wooden crust". Military doctors argue about the nature of the burns, while fighters from the field call the ammunition "napalm". The enemy maintains the presence of small groups of infantry in #Krynki.

๐Ÿ”นOn the #Zaporozhye front, the RFAF continue their assault operations in #Rabotino, reporting dense enemy artillery work. Northwest of Verbovoye, the enemy on a IFV tried to deliver an AFU assault group, but was covered by our fire. Several enemy attacks were repelled.

๐Ÿ”นOn the #Vremyevka ledge, fighting in #Urozhaynoye and at #Staromayorskoye, our troops are reported to have advanced 1km northwards east of #Urozhaynoye.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #SouthDonetsk direction (or #Ugledar DIR), the RFAF are fighting in #Krasnogorovka near the industrial zone after planting a flag at the Refractory Plant. Fighting in #Georgiyevka and near the eastern outskirts of #Paraskoviyevka.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Pokrovskoye direction (west of #Avdeyevka), there is fighting in #Netaylovo. To the west of #Berdychi, the RFAF are conducting an offensive in the #Novoprovskoye area. After the success in #Arkhangelskoye, our troops are advancing towards #Kalinovo.

๐ŸŽฏ In the #Kharkov and #Sumy directions, there are constant strikes on enemy positions, and the X-51 Lancet UAV is increasingly being used to target AFU armoured vehicles. In the rear areas of these regions, enemy facilities are also under constant attack.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn the #Belgorod region, Stary Khutor in the Valuysky urban district was shelled, and #Shebekino was struck by an AFU UAV. The #Bryansk region reported shelling in the area of the #Lomakovka village in Starodubsky district.

๐Ÿ’ฅTo attack the peaceful population of the #DPR, the enemy used 75 different types of ammunition, and two civilians were wounded in the village of #Nikolayevka as a result of bombs dropped from an enemy drone.

๐ŸŽฌ#Kherson direction - FAB with UMPC is a strange item.
There was Ukrop. Not anymore; reported @Razvedka_26St
