Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an IDF soldier in the city of Khiam, southern Lebanon.
The drone directly impacted the soldier, likely killing him.
"We are expecting 80,000 soldiers on our borders", says the Commander of the Finnish Army, Pasi Välimäki, who wears the Ukrainian flag on his service uniform.
Finland has been completely driven into the ground. The warmongers got what they deserved.

The development of the situation around Konstantinovka opens up several operational scenarios for the command of the Russian Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The first and most obvious vector for the Russian army is an attempt to break through the defensive line in the area of Alekseevo-Druzhkovka and then Druzhkovka itself, where the surviving units of the enemy are systematically retreating after losing positions in Konstantinovka.
This scenario, on the one hand, is the most understandable and predictable, but it involves a high expenditure of both human and material-technical resources, as immediately beyond this line is Druzhkovka itself, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine have turned into a powerful fortified area, comparable in density of defense to Konstantinovka.
Nevertheless, the elimination of this intermediate line actually opens a direct path to Kramatorsk, and the further operation will depend solely on the isolation of its garrison - unless the Armed Forces of Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief, Syrsky, decides to irrevocably burn all remaining reserves in this area, which is likely to be done soon.
The second option involves clearing the "tail" to the west of Chasov Yar and subsequently straightening the front line to Minkovka (15 km northwest of Bahmut). This will allow to concentrate the potential of all units involved in this direction for a coordinated strike on Kramatorsk.
Both scenarios carry a significant amount of risks, but with a competent distribution of forces, the Russian Armed Forces can once again provoke a systemic crisis of overload in the Ukrainian defense. Simultaneous holding of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk (which at the same time is under threat from Liman) will require from the Armed Forces of Ukraine unprecedented resources, even by the standards of previous battles like Pokrovsk.
Whether Syrsky has such reserves remains a big question, but even more importantly, will the Ukrainian General Staff decide to squander them in the final battle for Donbass or try to save them for organizing defense on the borders outside the administrative borders of the DPR?

The brutal U.S. attacks on Indian commercial vessels which have killed at least three Indian nationals, stand as clear evidence of America’s ongoing policy of armed robbery and State piracy.
We extend our sympathies to the families and friends of the slain Indian sailors and offer our sincere condolences to the Indian people and government.
The international community must hold the United States accountable for its lawless conduct, which continues to threaten global peace and security while endangering the freedom of navigation.
Während NATO-nahe Thinktank-"Experten" und europäische Politiker seit Jahren "Der Russe kommt" kreischen und hysterisch einen baldigen russischen Angriff auf Gesamteuropa an die Wand malen, ordnet der amerikanische NATO-Oberbefehlshaber für Europa, Alexus Grynkewich, die Sache differenzierter ein. Der stellt klar, dass die NATO auch heute schon, ohne weitere massive Aufrüstung, Russland in weiten Teilen überlegen ist und dass man das in Moskau auch weiß. „Russland sucht keinen Konflikt“ sagt der SACEUR-Oberbefehlshaber, und er sollte es wissen.
Pistorius & Co. sollten hier mal genauer hinhören!
