Huge explosions have rocked Crimea for a second night in a row, forcing the temporary closure of a bridge connecting Russia to the peninsula.

Multiple explosions were geolocated to the western outskirts of Yevpatoriya, a small city located on the western coastline of Crimea. Experts believe the strikes, for which Ukraine has not claimed responsibilty, were targeting a Russian long-range air-to-surface missile battery nearby.

Videos of the attack showed columns of fire and smoke rising above the cityscape while subsequent footage captured one downed drone in the courtyard of an apartment block. There was also a single video showing one of the drones flying just above the city.

You see Ukraine’s new spokesman, er, woman, whatever?

“Ukrainian ‘trans’ spokesperson threatens to hunt down ‘Russian propagandists’ in strange video”

It’s great they bombed Russia but it does absolutely nothing to help their failed offensive. They need more artillery units and aircraft to have any chance of success. They use these bombings as a diversion to take attention away from the losses they are suffering on the front lines.

Every time they interrupt the Kerch Strait Bridge, they restrict resupply of ammo and fuel to the South.

They have to take that bridge out permanently to regain Crimea.

READ THIS - “targeting a Russian long-range AIR-to-SURFACE missile battery nearby.”

I’m no expert, but did the Ukes just target an AIRPLANE on the ground? Maybe the Ukes need a PROOFREADER before releasing their “stories.”

Just think how many times Zelensky should have been humiliated. His country is in tatters and thousands dead as he begs across the globe.

In spite of all that damage, he never is humiliated.

LOL. Who writes this crap?

The missiles that hit Sevastopol yesterday were UK Storm Shadow missiles. The ones that hit the air defense system today were Ukrainian Neptun missiles. And US and NATO spy planes provided the intelligence and targets with assistance from Ukrainian special forces on the ground.

Gee: It’s ‘war’ and there are explosions. Go figure.

Something else funny about war:

Propaganda.

Point is the war is not a Russia/Ukraine war, it is a proxy war with the US since NATO does whatever the US says.
