A traitor who tried to poison the command of the Armed Forces was detained in the Zaporizhzhia region
The attacker, an active serviceman of the Ukrainian army, planned to add a poisonous substance to the water of the bath and laundry complex, which was used by the command staff of the Armed Forces.
The attacker also scouted for the FSB the locations and movements of the Armed Forces units on the front line.
According to the investigation, the person involved was recruited through his parents, who live in the TOT of Luhansk Oblast - the invaders kidnapped the man's relatives and then imprisoned them in a local Russian torture chamber so that they could persuade their son to work for the aggressor country.
Now he faces life imprisonment, - SBU.
A joint statement from the Freedom of Russia Legion, Russian Volunteer Corps, and Siberian Battalion appeals to residents of Bilhorod, urging them to evacuate due to alleged attacks by Putin's forces from the city. The statement accuses Russian forces of targeting peaceful Ukrainian cities from Bilhorod, resulting in civilian casualties. The groups claim to be forced to retaliate against military positions in Bilhorod and also Kursk. They emphasize the need for civilians to leave immediately and call on local authorities to initiate evacuations in Bilhorod and Kursk to prevent further harm to the civilian population.

More pictures from the results of the DragonFire tests. You can see how it fired a 120-mm mortar shell, cut the metal plating and burned the camera of the copter.
DragonFire was successfully tested in January this year. The laser strikes with a direct beam and can hit visible targets at the speed of light. The system's accuracy is described as pinpoint - the weapon can hit a £1 coin from a kilometer away. A ten-second shot is equivalent in cost to using a conventional heater for an hour. The cost of laser operation does not exceed £10 (492 hryvnias).

The Russian rebels
The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States is prepared to offer Ukraine ATACMS missiles with an extended range.
According to U.S. officials, Ukraine has persistently requested that the Pentagon supply ATACMS missiles, which boast a range exceeding 180 miles (about 290 km), thus bolstering Ukraine's capability to target Russian forces in Crimea.
"In the past, Pentagon officials have maintained that the U.S. military should reserve all its long-range ATACMS missiles for its own use. However, the Pentagon is now receptive to providing longer-range MANPADS, owing to advancements in acquiring the latest Precision Strike systems. This marks significant progress toward furnishing long-range missiles, although officials refrained from confirming whether President Biden would authorize their deployment," stated the article.

Poignant words of the famous Ukrainian poetess Lina Kostenko on the body armor of a Ukrainian soldier.
Love! Because time is not waiting for you.
It takes your days and nights.
Love while the body is thirsty and young.
Because only the eyes love in old age.

Satellite images document massive expansion of military cemeteries in Russia and the temporarily occupied territories
The number of burials in cemeteries associated with elite units of the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Wagner mercenary group has increased sharply since the start of the war in Ukraine, The Telegraph writes.
For example, in just one section of the Tula cemetery, the number of graves quadrupled between October 2021 and April 2023. During the same time, a completely new plot appeared at the neighboring Bogorodskoye cemetery, which tripled in size.
The photographs show a significant expansion of the Near Cemetery near occupied Feodosia in Crimea and the Mikhailovskoye Cemetery near Stavropol. Both are affiliated with the 7th Guards Airborne Division, which has been fighting Ukraine since the Russian invasion began. Its troops took part in the offensive in the south near Kherson and Nikolaev, where they suffered heavy losses.
