Reuters reports that a submarine attack on an Iranian Navy vessel near Sri Lanka injured 78 sailors and left another 101 missing. 30 others are being rescued by the Sri Lankan Coast Guard. The ship has since reportedly sunk.

Now there's heavy shelling heard, coming from the international border in Kharkiv Oblast.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 The Israeli military has revealed the division of labour with the US in the campaign against Iran, based on geography, target types and relative advantage.
The Israeli Air Force is striking ballistic missile launchers and military assets in western and central Iran—the areas from which long‑range missiles are fired at Israel.
While, the US military is targeting launchers in southern Iran, used to fire shorter‑range missiles at Gulf bases.
Target types are also split: the US has taken responsibility for the entire Iranian navy, while Israel focuses on other targets, including government sites in Tehran.
Israel relies heavily on U.S. aerial refuelling—the US has roughly 10 times the IAF's tanker fleet, with dozens stationed in Israel.
Military officials describe this as the first full‑scale joint war between Israel and the US, with co‑ordination cells operating in both countries, synchronising intelligence, targets and defence.
Over 1,000 US troops are stationed in Israel; the IDF chief of staff and CENTCOM commander speak daily.
Israel is planning at least one or two more weeks of operations, aiming to hit thousands more government targets.

Around 20 minutes after making this post, the Ukrainian GUR informed some Ukrainian outlets about the upcoming Russian combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine, confirming what I wrote. 3-5 Tu-95MS and 2 Tu-160M strategic bombers are expected to be used.…
Regarding the upcoming Russian combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine that I warned about yesterday:
The highest threat is in place for tonight, from approximately 12am to 8am. This is when Ukrainian intelligence seems to think it will happen.
What will be used:
- Kh-101 cruise missiles from 4-6 Tu-95MS strategic bombers from Ukrainka/Olenya/Engels-2 Airbases.
- Kh-101 cruise missiles from 2 Tu-160M strategic bombers from Ukrainka Airbase.
- 2-20 Iskander-M ballistic missiles (Crimea, Bryansk, Kursk, Rostov, Voronezh).
- 8-16 Kalibr cruise missiles from 1 Admiral Makarov Frigate and 1 Admiral Essen Frigate at Novorossiysk Naval Base.
What might be used:
- 2-8 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles from Crimea.
- 2-8 Iskander-K cruise missiles from Kursk Oblast.
- 3-12 Kh-22/32 cruise missiles from 3 Tu-22m3 strategic bombers from Olenya/Shaykovka Airbase.
- 2-6 Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles from 2-6 MiG-31Ks at Savasleika Airbase (less likely).
- 1-3 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles from a Su-57 (less likely).
Observed movements:
- 2 Tu-95MS strategic bombers redeployed from Engels-2 Airbase to Belaya Airbase in the far east, where they were equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles (delivered by an IL-76MD cargo plant) and subsequently redeployed to Ukrainka Airbase (their combat staging ground for this attack). There are 2 other Tu-95s at Ukrainka which could be used in the attack.
- 2 Tu-95MS strategic bombers redeployed from Olenya Airbase to Engels-2 Airbase (possible combat staging ground for this attack), where they were likely equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.
- Russian Gerbera recon drones scouted out targets in Kyiv yesterday, presumably including the CHP-4/5/6 power plants. This increases the threat level for Kyiv Oblast tomorrow.
- 1 An-12 cargo plane landed at Privolzhskiy Airbase, Astrakhan Oblast, likely delivering Kh-59/69 cruise missiles to a Su-57 fighter.
- 2 IL-78M refuelling tankers are stationed at Ukrainka Airbase, which are expected to accompany the Tu-160M and Tu-95MS bombers during their flight to western Russia.
- 6 MiG-31K fighters remain stationed at Savasleika Airbase under their concrete bunkers. At least 2 of them are equipped with Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles, although it's unlikely that they will be used in this attack.
- 3 Tu-22m3 strategic bombers *may* have redeployed from Shaykovka Airbase to Olenya Airbase, however this is unconfirmed right now. Each of these bombers are probably equipped with 3 Kh-22/32 cruise missiles, and its possible that additional aircraft are used from Olenya Airbase.

Resistards claim I'm a Zionist, Ziotards claim I'm Pro-Iranian.
Pro-Russians claim I'm a Ukrainian propagandist, Pro-Ukrainians claim I'm a Kremlin agent.
You seeing my reporting as being skewed in favour of the side YOU DON'T LIKE is your own internal biases at play, and has nothing to do with me.
Isn't it interesting how pro-Iranians never criticise reporting with a bias towards Iran, and Pro-Israelis never criticise reporting with a bias towards Israel?
Objectivity is objectively unpopular.
This isn't meant to be a "poor me" post, but rather an example of what happens in such an emotional and clout-driven information space.

⚡️🇮🇷🇹🇷 Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had a phone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi.
Fidan conveyed Turkey's reaction to the ballistic munitions that were detected as having been fired from Iran and directed towards Turkish airspace before being neutralized, and expressed the need to avoid any steps that could lead to the escalation of conflicts.
