A Russian drone flew near the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant.
The drone was recorded flying at a critically low altitude near the industrial site of the station at night, according to *Energoatom*. This is not the first incident, as drones have also been spotted near the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant previously.
▪️President Zelensky has stated that Russia is preparing to attack three Ukrainian nuclear power plants ahead of winter, using Chinese satellites to photograph them for this purpose.

🇺🇸 Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, has called on President Zelensky to immediately dismiss Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova. Johnson accused her of being unreliable and ineffective as a diplomat.
He claimed that Zelensky's visit to a weapons factory in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania was politically motivated and aimed at helping Democrats in the upcoming elections. Furthermore, he argued that Republicans were allegedly not invited to the event on purpose. Johnson believes that after Markarova organized this event, she lost the trust of Republicans.

⚠️Russia has secretly launched the production of strike drones in China, Reuters reports
The "Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant 'Kupol'" developed the latest "Harpy-3" UAV and has already tested it in China with local specialists. This drone can cover around 2,000 km with a payload of 50 kg. Additionally, within the next eight months, Russia plans to start the production of another joint development with China—a strike drone called REM 1 with a payload capacity of up to 400 kg, which will be comparable to the American Reaper drone.
During the summer, Russia already received at least seven drones from the Chinese base and launched large-scale production. The factory in China covers an area of 80 hectares and will be able to produce 800 UAVs per year.

❌ Ukrainians began to receive messages on messengers allegedly from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine about apparently serious interruptions in electricity and water supply in the Sumy region due to russian airstrikes, with an emphasis on the fact that there will be no electricity and water for three weeks.
▫️ The messages also call on residents of the region to purchase everything necessary "for life in emergency conditions."
✅ After verifying the information in the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the Center reports that such messages are fake, and the State Emergency Service was not involved in such mailings. In addition, the accounts from which these messages are sent are deleted after several hours, indicating an organized disinformation campaign.
▫️ Such fakes are spread in order to create panic among the population, cause distrust in official sources and disorient Ukrainians during the war.
‼️ Trust only verified official sources of information and ignore unverified messages from unverified accounts.

Supposedly the Russians anticipated Ukraine's incursion into Kursk and prepared for it. NOT VERY SUCCESSFULLY

Charges have actually been filed over the stochastic terrorism J.D. and Trump have engaged in.

Good morning Resisters. Windy with rain clouds. I guess we don't have to wait for the hurricane for rain.
Goodnight. I made it home at dusk and finally got the groceries put away
