The 79th Separate Air Assault Tavria Brigade of the Air Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported the following:
🗡️ The occupiers moved to motorcycles to defiantly break into the position of the 79th ODSHBr, but were beaten in the teeth in the Novomykhailivka area
💪🏻 Our operators of impact drones did not appreciate the creativity and each rider was fined for speeding long before the finish line.
🔥 During this assault, 8 motorcycles and one BMP with infantry were destroyed. Our soldiers managed to damage another "beha" and a tank.
Death of a person liable for military service in the Krivoy Rog TCC: the prosecutor's office opened criminal proceedings
According to the preliminary results of the autopsy of the man who died at the TCC, the cause of death could have been accidental poisoning with an unknown chemical substance.
The mother of the deceased man notes that her son never had seizures and she does not believe that her son died of epilepsy, as the TCC initially stated.
The analysis will continue for 21 days - then there will be a final autopsy result and the cause of death.

Another Traitor Nabbed by the SBU 😤💪🏻🤝
The counter-intelligence of the Security Service foiled another attempt by the Russian Federation to inflict fire damage on the locations of the Defense Forces in the front-line Dnipropetrovsk region.
Among the enemy's main targets were the combat positions of the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces, which defend Kryvyi Rih and the surrounding areas.
In order to correct the rocket attack on the objects of the Armed Forces, the occupiers remotely engaged their informant - a 27-year-old local resident.
His actions were coordinated by the Kremlin "military force", which is part of Putin's media pool and cooperates with Russian intelligence.
On the instructions of the enemy propagandist, his accomplice went around the area, where he tried to identify the locations of radar stations and anti-aircraft missile systems.
In addition, the traitor marked the geolocations of Ukrainian roadblocks and military equipment repair bases on Google maps.
The person involved planned to convey the received information to the occupiers via a messenger through a Russian "military officer".
However, the Security Service exposed the enemy henchman in time and caught him red-handed when he was conducting reconnaissance near a potential target.
A mobile phone with electronic maps of the area was seized from the detainee, where he marked locations for the preparation of an air attack of the Russian Federation.
In addition, during the search of his apartment, an AK-74 machine gun with silencers and cartridges was found.
According to the investigation, the person involved was spreading anti-Ukrainian comments on Telegram channels and thus came to the attention of a Russian propagandist at the beginning of this year.
The perpetrator is in custody. He faces up to 12 years in prison.
Belarus will also hold nuclear drills in parallel with russia, said the state secretary of the Security Council of Belarus, Alexander Volfovich.
He said that Minsk "will conduct an army test involving means capable of using tactical nuclear munitions," and that this test will be "synchronized" with russia.
A sudden inspection of non-strategic nuclear weapons carriers has already been launched by order of Alexander Lukashenko, reports Belarus defense ministry.
A squadron of Su-25 attack aircraft, Iskander-M, and Polonez-M missile systems are involved.
The plan is to check "the entire range of activities from planning, preparation, and use of strikes with tactical nuclear munitions," right down to the loading of special munitions on aircraft.
Aviation was moved to an alternate airfield. According to the Belarusian Hayun monitoring project, at least 2 Su-25 attack aircraft flew today from the Lida air base to the Machulishchy air base.
It is planned to withdraw units armed with Iskander-M and Polonez-M systems to position areas.
There is speculation that the exercises will take place at the Osipovichi and Neman military ranges.

⚡️UK's Cameron to warn that West has not learned lessons of Ukraine-Russia war.
U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron is expected to say NATO needs to adopt a harder edge for a tougher world during a speech at the National Cyber Security Centre on May 9.
"We must embrace a more assertive stance in a world that demands resilience. If we take anything away from Putin’s unlawful incursion, it should be the understanding that hesitancy and minimal action only embolden aggressors,” Cameron will say, according to early released excerpts of his speech.
