Russian-occupied city of Melitopol hit by a barrage of HIMARS missiles
Euro Weekly News ^ | 12/11/2022 | Chris King

A barrage of HIMARS missiles was unleashed on the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Melitopol.

The Ukrainian city of Melitopol is under attack again this evening, Saturday, December 10. Images and video footage posted on social media show various locations burning.

It is believed that at least eight missiles found their targets without being shot down by air defences. There are casualties reported but the number is yet to be specified.

-snip-

Meanwhile, Ivan Federov, the mayor of Melitopol wrote on his Telegram channel: “Fire, water and toasted Russians”.

In another post, he added information about the strikes: “Occupiers, what’s all the fuss? ‼️After the evening strikes on racist bases in Melitopol, there are too many 200s and 300s.

▪️According to preliminary estimates, about 200 invaders were fried.

Wounded orcs are taken immediately to Crimean hospitals because there are not enough places in Melitopol hospitals. Ambulances are coming from different parts of Melitopol – not only from the eastern part, where it is burning but also from the southern side.

▪️Not all orcs have to go to hospitals. Some ambulances turn to the morgue. As they say, on their way”.

Easy, soft, civilian targets.

The Russian barracks in Melitopol is an easy, soft target but it is not a "civilian target". Civilians aren't arriving after the curfew begins.

At least the dog is OK [warning, graphic images]

The Krauts were just following Hitlers orders, too.

Ukrainian civilians killed there, as has been going on in the area since 2014. This will end, however.

Yes, but the Ukrainians who fought for Hitler and guarded Jews in the Nazi concentration camps weren’t following orders, they volunteered. Worse that the German Nazis, Holocaust survivors say.

Melitipol is now a part of the Russian Federation.

“ The pro-Russian “officials” of the occupied area of the Zaporizhzhia region announced that 93.11% voted in favour of joining Russia in a recent “referendum”.…The Zaporizhzhia region will be a part of Russia; Melitopol will be the temporary capital….”

—”They are forced to follow Putin’s orders.”

And sadly the AFU must take them out.

It gets worse, many of the conscripts are some form of Ukrainian.

Himars avoid civilians, not the Russian walls of fires.

Bad day for Al Qaeda Kadirovites shooting retreating Russians? One can only hope. But Wagner prison population groomers do not agree here at FR. Maybe they want Wagner to recruit here in the US too…

more winning!! bombing your own cities!!

The Russians have been doing that literally for months in the Donbass, the entirety of which they claim even though they don't occupy all of it. They've also bombed a bunch of cities in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts even though those were all annex to Russia months ago.

Because this was a HIMARs attack, this almost certainly wasn't an area bombardment, but rather specific Russian troop concentrations identified by satellite or other intel. Headquarters, supply dumps, bivouac sites, etc.. Generally accurate as hell.

https://t.me/s/grey_zone and the Wagner Group.

Good thing that most people fail at right clicking and then selecting ‘Translate to English’ cause they would then discover how much of a BS liar and propaganda peddler you are....given there was NO MENTION OF THE WAGNER GROUP ANYWHERE!

Idiotic.

“Ukrainian formations carried out a mass HIMARS strike on Melitopol. The “Hunter’s Cabin” recreation center was hit, civilians were killed.

AFU also tried to hit Simferopol and Enerhodar with drones, but Russian air defense destroyed all targets.

As we’ve written many times before, Ukraine continues to deliberately terrorize the civilian population, making no account of civilian deaths on Russian territory.”

Hero Ukrainians once again prove they can beat Russians. Soon The attack on Crimea will win back the port of Sevastopol and the Russian ships will all be sunk. Once they force out all the conscript Orks they can march on Moscow to secure the Billions to Rebuilt and Make St. Zelensky the New President of Russian Federation. Watch as Ukraine puts a drone right into the Kremlin and takes out Hitler-Putin! One bomb and Russia is DONE.

The real story is that it was a strike on the city’s best restaurant on the night of mayor’s birthday. The hoped that the mayor and “occupiers” are going to be there which turned to be true.
At least two patrons were killed and dozens wounded, you can guess that most of not all of them innocent.

You do realize that (by the end of October) the US had sent less than 5% of it’s inventory...

Slightly OT — By pure chance (because most weeks I listen to Sean Hannity maybe an hour or so), a couple days ago Hannity had on Paul Whelan’s brother. I “got there” mid-interview, and most of the discussion at that point was about conditions at the prison, how PW keeps his spirits up, and so on. Care in case of illness came up, and a very interesting observation was that PW would get sent to the prison hospital every time the Wagner group was in the prison recruiting — even though PW felt fine and had nothing wrong health-wise. Once Wagner left, PW would be promptly sent back to his regular cell and work activities.

Your ideology is terrible. Everyone around here gets the sense you're going to lose.

Yea, right. If that were the case, they’d be allowed to fire them during training exercises.

it’s irresponsible to call the Russian troops “orcs”.

That’s what they were called during the 13h century Mongol invasion: Orcs troops from Central and the Far East - where Mongols came from: Orcs. Plus, their extreme brutality fits the Tolkien image as well.

There’s someone else on FR who has Putin Derangement Syndrome - maybe you can get a two-fer for some nice meds.

Make it so. Get Ukraine the $350 Billion in frozen russian assets:

“Making progress with ⁦@kiraincongress ⁩ on seizing the frozen Russian $350 billion for use in defending and reconstructing Ukraine. It’s the obvious thing to do. Russia caused the damage, Russia should pay for it.”
