After a period of silence, the Ukraine army once again used Western missiles to strike Russia military targets in the occupied territories, and we do not know why, perhaps related to the more than $8 billion in military aid announced by the United States government during Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to the United States.
The Kyiv Post, citing intelligence sources, reported that on October 3, local time, the Ukraine army launched missiles to attack Russia military targets near Donetsk, killing 20 military personnel, including 6 North Korean officers, and 3 North Korean soldiers were injured.
The Kyiv Post has not produced credible evidence, and Kyiv, Moscow, or Pyongyang have not published any official information about this, and we cannot confirm the authenticity of the relevant information. Public reports indicate that military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang are rapidly strengthening, including the exchange of visits by senior military personnel, but there is no official information that North Korean military personnel have entered the zone of the "special military operation."
"Sky News" reported that on October 4, local time, the Ukraine Air Force launched at least 3 "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles, hitting the Russian command post in Avadiivka, Pokrovsk. Avadiivka is believed to have a number of command posts of the Russian army, and even a command post at the army group level, but as far as this attack is concerned, we also lack more information, and it is not clear what the specific results of this attack of the Ukrainian army have achieved.
In addition, online video shows that the Ukraine army attacked a 96L6 radar deployed in Belgorod, which is standard for the S-300PMU2 and S-400 air defense systems, with a range of 300 kilometers and can detect all kinds of targets (including stealth targets, of course, the detection range will be greatly reduced). The video shows that the Ukrainian army is suspected of using a cruise missile to destroy this 96L6 radar, it is not clear what kind of cruise missile, the copycat "Lancet" or "Switchblade 600"? The latter's battlefield performance does not seem to be as unbearable as the media says, and Ukraine is about to produce this United States weapon domestically.
At the same time, Ukraine forces continue to launch attacks on targets in Russia, the latest of which occurred on the night of October 4, but not purely military targets such as ammunition depots or air bases, but targets related to the "special military operation". The Telegram channel "Astra" reports that suicide drones fired by the Ukraine army hit two oil depots located in the Voronezh region and the Perm region, which are located more than 1700 km from the front line:
The governor of the Voronezh region, Gusev, claimed that the Russia Border Service had successfully suppressed the incoming Ukraine drones, but one of the drones "landed" within the range of the oil depot, causing the storage tank without fuel to burn and catch fire; Local people confirmed that the fire started at the "Anna Petroleum Products" oil depot located in the city town of Anna;
The fire is even more intense at the oil depot in Perm Krai, a large oil depot covering more than 10,000 square meters, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia says that more than 60 firefighters and 19 special equipment have been put into operation to extinguish the fire; The statement issued by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia does not contain anything about Ukraine drones, and there are two reasons for the fire, "one is improper handling of the fire, and the other is the emergency operation of electrical equipment." ”
