Three Ukrainian drones attacked the airport in Mozdok, North Ossetia (Russia) today. This is the first time such an attack has occurred. It is reported that the drones flew at least 1,000 km. The Mozdok airport is one of the most important in the war Russia is waging against Ukraine, as Russian MiG-31K and Tu-22M3 aircraft take off from there, according to Ukrainian sources.

The head of North Ossetia, Sergey Menyaylo, stated that there were minor damages and fires.

It seems that a new military brigade armed with Iskander missile systems is being formed in Belarus, satellite images show.

Two new hangars are being built on the territory of the military unit in Asipovichy, which look like shelters for the Iskander systems built a year ago. An abandoned barracks and administrative building are also being reconstructed there. The Belarusian service of Radio Liberty received satellite images of these hangars.

Artillery unit № 12147 is home to the 465th Missile Brigade, one of whose divisions has an Iskander-M missile system capable of carrying nuclear weapons. There may be two such units in Belarus.

A satellite image from May 19, 2024, shows construction on a large part of the military base where the Iskanders are located. Two abandoned buildings, probably a barracks and a canteen or headquarters, are being reconstructed.

Two new hangars, similar to the one built a year ago for the Iskanders, are also under construction. The outlines of two more large foundations can be seen next to them.

Reference the airfield attack at #110001….

⚡️❗️A Russian Su-57 aircraft has been damaged at Akhtubinsk airfield, Astrakhan region of Russia on 8th June, 2024 - Ukrainian Defense Intelligence. This happened for the first time in history. The airfield is located 589 km from the combat lines.

Satellite images show that on June 7, the Su-57 is intact on the airfield, and on June 8 next to him eruptions from the explosion and characteristic spots of the fire that arose as a result of the fire damage are visible.

The Su-57 is Moscow's most modern fighter that can attack with Kh-59 and Kh-69 missiles. Russia has a limited number of such aircraft.

Russia is being pushed back towards the border after their recent gains.


Ukrainian troops are already cleaning the northern area of ​​the city of Vovchansk. The city 5 km from the border and which was the objective of the offensive from Belgorod became 3/4 controlled by the Russians. Now she is being released and announces another Russian defeat.

There is a big difference how the Russians treat their wounded vs how the Ukrainians treat their wounded. For Ukrainians no one is left behind.
