Ukraine has attacked one of the largest oil logistics hubs in Southern Russia. It is the oil pumping station in Tikhoretsk in Krasnodar krai that was hit during the night. The facility consists of an oil depot and a terminal for handling oil, fuel, and other petroleum products. Read more at Kyiv Independent, watch the video here.
Ukrainian forces also reportedly targeted what is believed to be a Russian anti-aircraft ammunition depot based on the explosions that occurred after the strike. Watch the video of secondary explosions here.

“I suggest we learn from this encounter of Russian idiots vs Ukrainian FPV drone. It catches them in logistics. The guy filming asks “Whose is this drone?” 🙂

The last posts by Johan yesterday were a real cliffhanger. Hopefully he knows things that we don’t know, seemed positive-positive+!

In the direction of Konstantinivka, the enemy carried out 28 attacks near Konstantinivka, Ivanopil, Illinivka, Kleban-Bika, Pleshiyivka, Rusynoy Yar, and Sofiyivka.
Gemini about Kostiantynivka:
The “hottest” spot: For the second day in a row, Kostiantynivka has the most attacks along the entire front line. Even though the number decreased by one (from 29 to 28), it is now much more lively there than in Pokrovsk.
• Geographic scope: The report specifically mentions that attacks were repelled near Pleshchiivka, Rusyn Yar, and Sofiivka, as well as towards Ivanopillia and Illinivka.
• Tactical change: The continued mention of Rusyn Yar and Sofiivka suggests that the “expansion” we discussed yesterday is ongoing. Russian forces are still trying to advance south and southwest of the city to threaten the logistics routes.
It seems that the significant increase in Kostiantynivka (where the number of attacks rose from 13 to 29 earlier this week) has leveled off, but at a very dangerous “new normal” level of about 28 attacks per day.

It seems like the hostilities are calming down. At the same time, Telegram is being shut down in Russia, and the internet is working poorly in Moscow. Putin also seems to be keeping a low profile. What happens big happens quietly, or what is it they say?
