Ukraine continues to gut the flaming carcass of Putin's fledgling USSR 2.0, with more strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, which among today's early morning hits included the Slavyansk ECO refinery, in Slavyansk-na-Kubani, in southern Krasnodar Krai.
One of the larger refineries in southern Russia, it supplies around 20% of total oil products there, processing 5.2 million tons of oil/year or 100,000 barrels/day.
The owner of this refinery, Robert Paranyants is a regional deputy that has been involved with supplying North Korea with sanctioned oil products.
Based on a replay of FR24's original data, B-12PP is suspected of having turned off its transponder before impacting the Xinda Building.
The angle of impact was on the east side of the building. From the final signal point, for the aircraft to hit the building, it would have needed to complete a large-angle turn to the right followed by a turn to the left.
At the same time, the area on the east side of the building that the aircraft passed through is the current glide path for Capital Airport's approaches. Therefore, this aircraft's behavior would definitely have drawn the attention of air traffic control.
Within a few hours, the hot search section for the CITIC incident in Beijing is harmonized, no one talks about it anymore. Or the algorithm make it this way.
Again, it is said not a single mosquito can penetrate Beijing’s airspace and yet here we are.
Beijing Banker Sabrina Liu’s Tragic Downfall: Failed Margin Call → Alleged Plane Crash into CITIC Headquarters?
Top CITIC Bank executive 刘俊华 (Sabrina), Client Management Assistant GM, reportedly lost everything in a devastating margin call.
According to leaked QQ chats: ‘She failed a margin call’ → ‘Flew a plane to ram the CITIC building.’
China’s high-stakes finance sector claims another? Netizens say the censorship machine is already working overtime to bury this one.
Summary of the June 26, 2026 Incident Involving Dongshi Shuangyue General Aviation B-12PP Aircraft (Often Referenced in Context of Broader Chinese Aviation Events):
On June 26, 2026, a B-12PP aircraft operated by Dongshi Shuangyue General Aviation (a subsidiary/business of Oriental Fashion, a major Chinese driving school company that expanded into general aviation and flight training) was involved in a serious incident during a solo flight.
Key Details from the Report:
• Pilot: Captain Liu Junhua (a company member).
• Flight: Solo flight in local airspace. Took off from Shifosi Airport (平谷石佛寺机场, near Beijing) at 17:30.
• Timeline:
• At 17:40, the aircraft prepared to return for landing.
• While joining the westbound route for Runway 18, it deviated from normal approach and departure procedures.
• It continued flying on a constant heading of 270 degrees and left the local airspace.
• Monitoring: Local ADS-B tracking detected the aircraft near the East Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, after which the signal was lost with no subsequent transmissions.
• Response: Attempts to contact the aircraft via approach control and the air force were unsuccessful.
The post notes the company’s background: Oriental Fashion originated as a driving school (China’s first listed one) and expanded into aviation training, including fixed-wing aircraft like the B-12PP at facilities such as Shifosi Airport.
No public reports directly link this specific general aviation incident to CITIC (a major Chinese state-owned conglomerate). It appears to be a private/general aviation operation under the Oriental Fashion/Dongshi Shuangyue group, focused on flight training rather than commercial or CITIC-affiliated operations. The reference may stem from broader discussions of Chinese state-linked enterprises or a mix-up with other aviation news.
This is a developing story involving a small general aviation aircraft (not a large commercial airliner). As of the shared post, there is no confirmed information on the aircraft’s fate, crash site, or pilot status beyond the loss of signal. Official investigations by Chinese authorities would typically follow for such events.
Is it purely an accident or a lone wolf operation like Flight MU5735?
On the evening of June 26 at 7 PM, a small aircraft crashed into the CITIC Building in Beijing, with debris from the aircraft scattering across the road. The incident occurred during rush hour, and multiple passersby witnessed the scene.
Reporter: Do you think Zelensky is winning right now?
Trump: Well, he's doing pretty well. Look, no matter how you look at it, he's doing pretty well.
He's holding his own, at least — a lot of people dying on both sides. But I think he's doing pretty well.
🧵 @HayteratLords asked an Urgent Question in @UKHouseofLords.
"Following the sentencing of Peter Wai and Bill Yuen for assisting a foreign intelligence service, what plans does @GOVUK have to:
1⃣ Protect Hong Kongers in the 🇬🇧 from transnational repression;
2⃣ Review the status, privileges and immunities of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office?"
Freedom of Speech Award 2026
DW awards its 12th Freedom of Speech Award to Hong Kong media entrepreneur Jimmy Lai. A prominent advocate for press freedom and democracy and founder of the Apple Daily newspaper, Lai has been held in solitary confinement since 2020. In early 2026, a Hong Kong court sentenced him to 20 years in prison after a two-year trial on charges including "conspiracy to collude with foreign forces" and publishing "seditious material." The award will therefore be accepted on his behalf by his daughter, Claire Lai. The laudatory speech will be given by Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Today at the @DW_GMF in Bonn, Claire Lai accepted the DW Freedom of Speech Award on behalf of her father, Jimmy Lai. #FoSA
In a powerful speech, she highlighted his unwavering commitment to press freedom—even in the face of immense personal sacrifice.
🔴 I've accepted an urgent Lords question from @HayteratLords on what plans the Government has to protect those from Hong Kong, now in the UK, from transnational repression, and the status of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office. Here from 3.15pm 👇https://t.co/wuDVB48BKi
232. Many witnesses called for a simplification of the immigration rules and immigration legislation.[225] This echoes the call of Wendy Williams’ 2020 Windrush Lessons Learned Review.
234. Even the Government appears to find the system complex.

Spot fuel outages (stations reporting they have run out of AI-92, AI-95, AI-100, and/or diesel) have spread throughout western Russia and the far east.
Can't stress enough, these are spotty outages. Only the Ryazan Oblast has widespread shortages.
