🦌 A deer almost drowned in the reservoir
Inspectors of the Poltava Fish Protection Patrol noticed a weakened deer in the water, which was already barely staying afloat.
They lifted the animal onto the boat and brought it to the shore.

"near the village of Ivanovka, outside Saky, Crimea a “good” drone was forced to land in a field. But its comrades reached their targets."
Heavily modified, custom PKM machine guns. Modifications are meant to make them a little more friendly to use by highly mobile ground troops. If you look at the longer one, the barrel has custom fluting carved into it, along with a whole host of other changes.

A modernized 5N84AE2/AM radar near Yevpatoria, linked to long-range detection for S-200/S-75 systems, was reportedly hit. Installed after Crimea’s 2014 occupation, the upgraded radar may have tested EW-resistant systems for potential export to Middle Eastern states like Iran, Syria, Iraq, and Egypt.

🔥 Ukraine has launched a record number of drones against Russia - the Russians claimed 754 UAVs The Russian Defense Ministry reported that over the course of a day, a total of 754 drones were allegedly detected and shot down over Russia and occupied Crimea. According to Russian reports, the most intense attacks occurred in the Bryansk, Belgorod, Tula regions, Krasnodar Krai, and occupied Crimea. As the "Military" portal notes, this is a record number of UAVs in a single attack, which may indicate a significant increase in the production of attack drones in Ukraine.
