The video appears to be captured by a drone or similar aerial platform, indicated by the reticle and targeting crosshair visible in some frames. The explosions and presence of what seem to be military formations suggest active military operations. (HIGH CONFIDENCE). This is a typical RUF FAB strike video for morale/propaganda.

  • NEW: Colonelcassad: The video shows an aerial view of an industrial complex, likely a factory or warehouse, with multiple buildings and a surrounding area that appears to be a town or village. The footage captures explosions occurring on one of the larger buildings, indicated by smoke plumes. The presence of a targeting reticle and crosshairs suggests this is surveillance footage from a drone or other aerial platform. Text overlays in Russian identify the target as a "VNK ВСУ" object and indicate "fire detected at the facility." The watermark "ИЗНАНКА The_Wrong_Side" suggests the footage originates from a specific source known for disseminating such content. The latter part of the video shows the aftermath of the strikes with significant smoke emanating from the targeted structure. (HIGH CONFIDENCE). This is a claimed Iskander strike on a UAF military-industrial complex facility in Chuhuiv, Kharkiv Oblast.

  • NEW: Kotsnews: The video appears to be footage from a drone observing military activities. It shows various vehicles, including what is identified as a BMP (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) and an M113 armored personnel carrier. Several instances of destruction are visible, with explosions and damaged vehicles. The drone also appears to be targeting or observing communication equipment like antennas and possibly a relay station. The footage is presented in a thermal or night vision format, with some digital artifacts and on-screen data related to flight parameters (altitude, battery life) and targeting information. Text overlays in Russian identify some of the targets ('enemy BMP', 'house with personnel', 'retranslator', 'BMP', 'BMP enemy', 'antenna UAV'). The overall context suggests reconnaissance and possibly direct action against enemy assets. (HIGH CONFIDENCE). This is a RUF drone targeting UAF assets near Pokrovsk, as indicated by the caption.

The primary subject is the ongoing military operations and territorial control in the area. (HIGH CONFIDENCE - for the RUF claimed situation, MEDIUM - on the veracity of specific advances).

  • NEW: АРХАНГЕЛ СПЕЦНАЗА: The video appears to be an aerial reconnaissance or attack footage, likely from a drone or aircraft, documenting military strikes on what seem to be civilian or industrial structures in a populated area. Multiple explosions are visible, causing significant damage and generating large plumes of smoke. The footage includes overlay graphics typical of military targeting systems, such as crosshairs and telemetry data. Additionally, memes of monkeys are intermittently displayed on the screen, which is unusual for military footage and suggests a potential attempt to influence perception or add a layer of commentary. The presence of residential buildings in the vicinity of the strikes indicates a risk of civilian casualties or collateral damage. (HIGH CONFIDENCE). The caption "🤙 Стёрты с лица земли!" (Wiped off the face of the earth!) strongly implies this is a RUF video showing strikes on UAF positions, possibly near Pokrovsk given the earlier appeal.

  • Luhansk Oblast: RUF sources continue to claim the "liberation" of Petrovske (Hrekivka), asserting that "LNR is completely liberated."
