Two days ago an enormous cargo plane arrived in #Russia from #Iran.

So no surprise that recent nights of 3-6 drones suddenly became this:

32 Iranian attack drones shot down in the last 24 hours by #Ukraine. But it two managed to get through defences.

Welcome to another week of daily threads on Europe's war. Updated throughout the day (and night) every single day.

It's Day 481 of #Russia's illegal full invasion of #Ukraine.

To review Sunday's thread, click here.
I tempted fate by saying I was hoping for sleep. Soon enough alarms were sounding in the south of #Ukraine.

Suspected cruise missiles launched from #Russia's Black Sea Fleet, and #Odesa has reported explosions. Hopefully it's just air defence.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Good news is just coming in from #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) where it seems to be quiet now.

There were reported to be three targets - all three may have been shot down. I'm not hearing of damage yet.

🛑 À l’occasion de la polémique sur l’#abaya à l’école, plusieurs figures de #LFI ont tenu un discours très proche de la rhétorique #islamiste.
➡️ Décryptage dans ce thread. ⤵️ Image
Mathilde #Panot s’en est ainsi violemment prise au journal Le Parisien en utilisant le même argument que les #islamistes : qualifier d’#islamophobe toute critique des pratiques islamistes pour les rendre illégitimes et transformer en racisme la remise en cause de l’intégrisme. Image
#Panot fait même de l’#abaya la tenue « réglementaire » de la femme musulmane. Elle normalise ainsi un vêtement symbole de rigorisme, telle une prescriptrice religieuse, pour un vêtement très peu porté par les musulmanes de France. lexpress.fr/politique/raph…

As the #Taliban continue to claim moving #TTP fighters to western #Afghanistan, TTP fighters have been confirmed in northern AFG, today the head of district intelligence of the Taliban’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GID) can under attack in #Badakhshah province.
For those unfamiliar with #Badakhshah provincial borders… Image
Another important factor to keep in mind is the #geological value of #Badakhshah province.

This is of key importance to #China’s investment into minerals in #Afghanistan. Image

Some interesting reports coming out of #Afghanistan over the past few days:

- roughly 2,000 #Taliban suicide bombers have been moved to the #Iran|ian border since the end of May.
- #ISKP has also started moving their fighters to northern #Afghanistan, according to sources within an anti-#Taliban group. They are being moved to #Badakhshan, #Takhar and some others.

Apparently, there are both @CIA and #ISI fingerprints on this.
- #Taliban are moving its fighters closer to the #Tajikistan border. Fighters are also moving to the #Badakhshan province, bordering #Tajikistan.

- #TTP have become so emboldened to expand their operations around #Pakistan, including new waliyats in #Balochistan & #Punjab.

Extendiendo los tentáculos del Terrorismo Iraní

El Presidente de Irán realizará una gira por Venezuela, Cuba y Nicaragua. Ebrahim Raisi empezará mañana una gira que lo llevará a visitar Venezuela, Cuba y Nicaragua.

Una alianza de extrema gravedad para la región.

Abro hilo 🧵 Image
El régimen iraní pretende consolidar su influencia en la región.

El mandatario iraní viajará acompañado de una “delegación de altos cargos”. Se trata del primer viaje de Raisi a Latinoamérica desde que tomó posesión en agosto de 2021.
Irán se ha convertido en uno de los principales aliados del régimen de Nicolás Maduro durante los últimos años, particularmente desde 2020 cuando en Venezuela hubo una escasez de gasolina y Caracas acudió a Teherán para comprar combustible. Image

Iran has introduced a hypersonic missile "Fattah"

Today Iran unveiled its Hypersonic "Fatah" missile in a very grand ceremony, in the presence of the President of Iran and the commander of the Revolutionary Guard Corps.
#Iran twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
1. After the initial launch phase, the Fatah HGV can fly at speeds of Mach 12 to Mach 13, according to the IRGC. The warhead is capable of both exo-atmospheric and inter-atmospheric maneuvering, which happens within 500 kilometers proximity of the intended target. This makes it… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
2. This makes Iran one of only three countries in the world to possess a hypersonic glide warhead along with Russia and China, or more accurately, a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV).

Sunday's thread was a bit crazy and very long!

#Russia army was in the novel position of having prisoners of war taken by three different factions!

Mass brawls in Russia & a very sad story about dolphins.

Yep all those stories and more. Catch up here⬇️
#Russia's losses a little more stable today but troop deaths pass 210,000.

Also, it's not clear if these estimates from #Ukraine include Kremlin losses to Russian rebel units and #Wagner 😜🤣 Image

CROSS-BORDER TERRORIST ATTACKS UNDERMINE DECISION TO CEDE SINAI PENINSULA // Since 2011, repeated cross-border terrorist attacks have made the Sinai Peninsula Israel's deadliest international border. Image
Over the weekend, an Egyptian police officer armed with a gun, six magazines of ammunition, and a Quran, infiltrated Israeli territory and murdered three Israeli soldiers.
Egypt's government is defending the terrorists' actions and offered "sincere condolences" to his family. Israel sacrificed the Sinai Peninsula, twice its size, for peace with Egypt – ceding strategic depth, natural resources, and control of key trade routes like the Suez Canal.

🧵 Questa settimana ho letto il nuovo libro di @Cinzia_Bianco e Matteo Legrenzi, un quadro esaustivo delle evoluzioni nell’area del #Golfo dalle Primavere arabe in poi. Si parla anche di rapporti tra le monarchie e il resto del mondo: tre fattori mi sembrano fondamentali 👇(1/n) Image
@Cinzia_Bianco 2. L’ITALIA E L’UE

Uno dei temi è la miopia italiana (ed europea) nella gestione delle relazioni con il Golfo. Le capitali europee non hanno saputo reagire in modo efficace al crescente disinteresse americano verso la regione, pagando a caro prezzo questa disattenzione. (2/n)
@Cinzia_Bianco L'#Europa non ha visto arrivare le monarchie come attore globale. Il caso più interessante è stato senz’altro quello della #Libia, dove sia #Italia che #Francia si sono trovate impreparate di fronte all’ascesa di EAU e Qatar nello scontro tra le fazioni libiche. (3/n)

Good morning, welcome to Daily Thread number 465 covering #Ukraine's heroic defence against #Russia's illegal aggression.

I've been here from (before) the start of war, reporting on (sometimes from) a country I've loved, worked + lectured in many, many times.
Overnight was quiet
Before we get stuck in to today's news, a gentle reminder these threads are basically an unpaid full time job - actually more than that as you get days off with a job! Coffee donations welcome (link in Bio)

A few drones buzzed #Ukraine yesterday evening but air raids did not last long and no damage was reported.

The drone/cruise missile numbers on #Russia's daily losses are high as they include Friday morning's attacks.
Artillery, special equipment & fuel tanks way above average Image

Day 464 of #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine starts with another horrendous wait to see if air defence can protect them as cruise missiles head towards them as I type.

This is THE daily thread with all the news of the brutal war in one place, updated all day (and night!)
So much happened yesterday - here's the link to the start of Thursday's thread.

Deaths from #Russia's missiles because shelters were locked
#Crimea bridge falling down?
Big explosions in #Belgorod + #Kursk regions and the rebel Russian units attack again

Almost all of #Ukraine is under threat right now. Sirens sound across the country except for a handful of western regions.

#Cherkasy, just south of #Kyiv is initially thought to be in the firing line of the missiles launched by #Russia from bombers over the Caspian Sea. Image

1. I've been listening to @MSNBC and the parade of hosts and guest losing it over the fact that the document that is being shown in the grand jury is an invasion scenario for #Iran. Notably the reporting is that it was classified as 'Secret.' It's critical to understand
2. where this information came from, how the persons disclosing it obtained the information and why it's more than likely that this is a "Goldilocks" document needed to indict #45 for crimes related to his handling of national defense information including ,but not

Day 462 of #Europe's war, the last day of May.

Mercifully a quiet morning so far this Wednesday in #Ukraine

This is my 462nd daily thread.
All the info you need about #Russia's attack in one handy thread, updated throughout the day.

If you happen to have missed all yesterday's news, put the kettle on and prepare for a long read!

Here's the link for yesterday's thread on what happened in #Ukraine and #Russia.
#SlavaUkraini

The biggest event overnight happened in #Russia's #Krasnodar region.

Drones hit the Afipsky Oil Refinery and a fire soon took hold, although it's since been extinguished; no-one was hurt.

About 150km from the front, that's less fuel helping Russia kill Ukrainians.
