Residential building in Kursk, Russia, damaged by Ukrainian missile โ€“ what we know:

๐ŸŒA downed Ukrainian missile fell on a residential building in Kursk overnight, the acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexey Smirnov, said on his Telegram channel.

"Today a downed Ukrainian missile fell on a residential house in the city of Kursk. A fire has broken out. Unfortunately, 13 people have been injured as a result of the attack by Ukrainian terrorists, two of them are in serious condition," he wrote.


๐ŸŒ Smirnov added that emergency services were at the scene and there were no fatalities.

๐ŸŒResidents of a nine-story apartment building in Kursk, where a downed Ukrainian missile fell, are being evacuated to a temporary shelter in a suburban camp, Kursk Mayor Igor Kutsak said.

The Kursk region, which borders Ukraine in western Russia, was attacked by about 1,000 Ukrainian troops and scores of armed vehicles on August 6. Russian troops responded by stopping Ukraineโ€™s military from penetrating deep into Russian territory and are continuing to repel Ukrainian invasion attempts.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ The Situation in Key Settlements in the #Ugledar & #Avdeyevka Directions in the Morning of 11 August 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ด#Konstantinovka - behind the noise of the war in the #Kursk direction, our fighters marched forward and cleared a number of positions from the enemy, entering the settlement.

๐Ÿ”ด#Pobeda - we passed a number of landings and fields a couple of km to the west.

๐Ÿ”ด#Georgiyevka - artillery began to actively probe the weak points of the Ukrop again. The last few days have been very active.

๐Ÿ”ด#Krasnogorovka - active actions on our part have also intensified here, exerting tangible pressure and also moving westward to liberate the town.

๐Ÿ”ด#Nevelskoye - the enemy finally surrendered the settlement due to the inability to hold it.

๐Ÿ”ด#Karlovka - everything is equal to direct fire, which only moves.
๐ŸŸกThe reconnaissance by combat from our side has intensified again.

๐Ÿ”ด#Zhelannoye - the settlement has been liberated, the cleanup is underway.

๐Ÿ”ด#Sergeyevka - the village was liberated a little earlier.
Now we are walking through the fields, practically meeting no resistance, except for the minefields.

๐Ÿ”ด#Grodovka - entered the village, took up positions on the eastern side.
๐ŸŸกWe're hammering the enemy.

๐Ÿ”ด#Ivanovka - they completely cleaned up and threatened the villages of #Spiridonovka and #Lisichnoye, where the Ukrop has very weak positions.
๐ŸŸกThey liberated a hamlet of several houses called #Timofeyevka.

๐Ÿ”ด#Vozdvizhenka - fighting is still ongoing in the outskirts, but itโ€™s a matter of time.

๐Ÿ“Œ The Ukrops do not have any serious defence in this directions and are forced to constantly roll back. Ours are trying not to lose the initiative and are moving forward, but a significant part of the forces have been transferred, you know where.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ WEST WASHES HANDS CLEAN: The attack on Kursk is Zelenskyโ€™s idea & Western partners allegedly "completely unaware of the situation."

How convenient - when it goes tits up.

Ukraineโ€™s invasion of Russian territory caught Moscow by surprise. It also caught Western supporters - even those in Washington - by surprise. When it began on Tuesday, it looked like another display of noisy military bluster. By Thursday, it was clear that Kiev was striking back.

Obviously, what is happening will cause some Western leaders to feel queasy, since NATO equipment is now being used on Russian territory - and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are crossing another threshold.

If the Ukrainian authorities had asked for permission from their Western partners in advance, they would not have received it, so they just went ahead - The Sunday Times alleges.


What a blatant propaganda piece - Western partners pretty much announced Zelensky was free to use Western long-range weapons any way his fried brains deem fit. ๐Ÿง

โ—พThe dawn massacre in which the occupation targeted worshippers at the Al-Tabi'in Sharia School, which shelters around 6,000 displaced people in Gaza City, led to the martyrdom of more than 100 citizens and wounding dozens with serious injuries. It was not the first, but rather an extension of many massacres targeting shelters and tents for the displaced.

โ—พ Ukrainian PoW described the hopeless situation for thousands of Ukrainian conscripts and said that the orders of the Ukrainian commanders are comparable to genocide:

-As he said, his inglorious path in the AFU was like this: โ€˜We came here from Cherkasy region. We took a position and spent two days there. On the third day at night, we were woken up, 7 men, and told that we had to go and dig up and take positions. We had a five-minute battle, and we were offered to surrender. The same second, we immediately threw out the assault rifles. I think the command understood and knew how many people you had and at least approximately how many people we had. In my opinion, this is genocide,โ€™ said captured serviceman of the AFU 117th Separate Mechanised Brigade Aleksey Pashkin.

Zelensky said that today he discussed with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky the successful "displacement" of military operations into the territory of the Russian Federation

He did not provide details of the conversation.

Zelensky avoids directly commenting on the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. Reuters noted that the Ukrainian authorities "apparently use a strategy of complete silence" regarding attempts to attack the Russian border area.

Reagan's 1984 joke on bombing Russia should have never been made, ex-CIA analysts say

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUS President Ronald Reagan's recorded comments to National Public Radio (NPR) engineers that he would order the bombing of Russia made 40 years ago this Sunday were never meant to be taken seriously but should have never been made at all, two former veteran CIA senior analysts told Sputnik.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธโ€It was never meant to be anything but a joke: But politicians are better to be careful as anything they say is likely to be somewhat incoherent and will inevitably be misinterpreted no matter what the intention was," former CIA senior analyst and station chief Philip Giraldi, founder and chair of the Council for the National Interest, said.

๐ŸŽคGiraldi agreed with reports that Reagan had not realized the microphone was still recording his comments at the time, although they were never broadcast.

However, the old story had important lessons for political leaders today, Giraldi advised.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธโ€I guess the lesson to be learned in the current context is that we would be a lot better off if our so-called leaders would just keep their mouths shut as anything they say is likely to be somewhat incoherent and will inevitably be misinterpreted no matter what the intention was," he said.

Private joke

Former senior CIA analyst Raymond McGovern, who personally briefed four US presidents โ€” including Reagan โ€” on the Soviet Union and Russia, is skeptical about Reagan having any intention for the story to circulate at all for any reason.

"Did he really mean it to go out live? I don't think so," he said.
