An explosion in the north of annexed Crimea has destroyed Russian missiles being transported by rail, Ukraine's defence ministry said.

The Russian-installed head of the city of Dzhankoi said the area had been attacked by drones.

Ukraine announced the explosions but, as is normal, did not explicitly say it was behind the attack.

If confirmed, it would be a rare foray by Ukraine's military into Crimea, which has been annexed since 2014.

Delightful
 
Looks like Russia are getting desperate (if we didn't already know).
From reading this thread, the latest one of these tanks was built in 1958......

They always mention nukes when they are losing. It makes no difference really where the bombers will be based. What they are hoping for, is for NATO and their allies to stop supporting Ukraine.

I don't think they've got either the technical capability or the political will to set one off. If they do NATO will intervene and will easily roll them out of all of Ukraine including Crimea.

An explosion in a St Petersburg cafe has killed prominent Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, Russia's Interior Ministry has confirmed.

At least 16 people were injured in the Street Bar Cafe explosion, police say.

Videos posted on social media show an explosion and injured people on the street. It is not clear who was responsible for the blast.

Vladlen Tatarsky (real name Maxim Fomin) was a vocal supporter of Russia's war in Ukraine,

He had reported from the Ukraine frontline and gained particular notoriety last year after posting a video filmed inside the Kremlin in which he said "We will defeat everyone, we will kill everyone, we will rob everyone as necessary. Just as we like it."

Interior ministry sources quoted by Russia's RIA news agency said a bomb was hidden in a statue presented to Tatarsky in a box as a gift.

I had a feeling it wasn't Ukraine behind this. It looks like its been done by the Wagner Group. Potential for a civil war in Russia.
He's pissed off because Putin isn't supplying his lot with enough ammo and equipment quickly enough on the front line in Bahkmut. Not suprised he's turned round and bitten Putin if that's the case. The whole thing will implode soon and Putin will be toast.
