I read about twenty different posts/reports on this next one, and none of it made sense or agreed with anything else. Probably an errant drop, but there was also a Ukrainian claim that something (presumably Russian) military there was hit.

The bomb drop by Russians on Russian held town was reported earlier. They were attempting to bomb the right side of the Dniper but an “abnormal system malfunction caused it to hit far short on the left side.
Do Russians use attachment points made of 2x4s?! Man all that geolocation analysis is phenomenal. |

⚡️The Armed Forces of Ukraine have fully liberated Andriivka near Bakhmut. The 72nd brigade of RF, consisting of up to 4000 soldiers, is no more. ▪️The 3rd Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that the 72nd separate motorized brigade was encircled, isolated from its main forces, and completely annihilated. This is a significant stride towards the total liberation of Bakhmut. Reflect upon this victory, for it’s monumental and symbolizes our relentless spirit. 🇺🇦✊
The adversities faced in the intense battles, the indescribable sacrifices made, and the enemy’s desperate attempts only accentuate the undeniable importance of Andriivka. A massive salute to the Third Assault Brigade! Their unmatched valor and relentless drive serve as an embodiment of Ukrainian spirit and determination. Their achievements are not just military triumphs but also echo in the hearts of every proud Ukrainian. @MaksymZhorin, thank you for shedding light on this unparalleled feat. Together, we march forward, unwavering and unstoppable. 💪🏻 View Quote |

"ATESH" carried out sabotage in Genichesk 09/15/23 at 07:45 an ATESH agent destroyed a group of invaders in Genichesk, Kherson region. An agent from the Russian Armed Forces knew the permanent location of the equipment and personnel of his comrades from a neighboring unit at the entrance to the city, near abandoned industrial buildings. And he hid a 10-kilogram “gift” there. At the moment the military dismounted from the equipment, the IED was activated. And it was lucky for us, between two trucks. Even the doors opened) Coordinates are attached: 46.18147, 34.79196. Result: 2 trucks with personnel were destroyed. The agent successfully left Genichesk. Join the ranks of ATESH and contribute to the victory! @atesh_fire https://t.me/atesh_ua/1821 ATESH discovered the deployment of the Pantsir-S1 air defense system in Feodosia Our agent conducted reconnaissance in the city for the presence of enemy air defense systems. As a result, he discovered the dislocation of the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system. The occupiers placed the complex on the outskirts of the city, near the Stepnoy residential area (45.070234, 35.374169). The racists have the audacity to hide behind the backs of civilians, placing their equipment directly in Feodosia. Everything is as Putin bequeathed. But this will not help them, we are acting brilliantly, destroying the invaders and saving the lives of our people! Join ATESH - let's liberate our cities from occupation!

So NK has an estimated 25 million 122mm and 152mm shells and 8,700 tubes. Assuming they stockpiled to doctrine levels. The key thing is they are shorter range than what Ukraine has. If question is how serious is Kim the Fat about sending tubes and shells in vast quantity to Russia the Needy?
If we focus on the larger calibers, particularly the 152mm and 122mm, the number would be approximately 8,500 pieces. Following the N.K doctrine influenced by the Soviet Union, each artillery piece is expected to have a 45-day firing capacity. Assuming a conservative estimate of 75 daily firings per unit, the DPKR would possess a stockpile of 27 million 122mm/152mm shells. In this context, it would be feasible for North Korea to sell 10 million shells to Russia without encountering significant difficulties. While some of the ammunition may be old, it is not substantially different from the Soviet stockpile that Russia utilized for several months last year. Moreover, North Korea possesses another valuable asset that Russia needs: the PT-76/85 amphibious tank. This tank would be ideal for Russia's potential assault on the Kherson river bank from the occupied Isles. Recently, Russia has announced tests with the old Pat-S project, an amphibious artillery system with a 152mm caliber. The demand was exactly due this kind of challenge on Kherson. North Korea also operates a few thousand MLRS of various calibers, including 122mm, 200mm, and 240mm and 300mm. It is highly probable that North Korea's support also includes MLRS systems like the KN-09, which can reach distances of 180-200km and deploy guided rockets. In terms of rocket supply, it is difficult to determine an exact N.K stockpile. However, North Korea has approximately 3.5 million people working in various industries, with a significant portion employed in nearly 200 arms factories. The defense industry holds great importance in the country, as with any communist nation. Given North Korea's state of war for over 60 years, it is reasonable to assume they have a substantial stockpile of various types of ammunition. We can't ignore that a deal wbetween Russia and North Korea, has the potential to significantly influence the outcome of the war. View Quote |

A low, persistent rumbling has been heard across Finland the past few weeks. A journalist visited several locations to investigate. They found the source: every Finn mumbles under his breath, “Wish a motherfucker would…wish a motherfucker would…” hour after hour day after day. Nobody knows where it started but seems to be a permanent part of Finn daily life now. |

I'm seeing the same stuff on Twitter, but looking at broader media there doesn't seem to be that much going on. More realistically could be described as a simmer rather than a boil. Or a boil with a mostly effective lid. Individual arrests like these https://www.hra-news.org/2023/hranews/a-43608/ https://www.hra-news.org/2023/hranews/a-43612/ The user account of Shahrak Ekbatan announced that Armin Rostami, the brother of Aida Rostami, a doctor who was killed due to the medical treatment of protesters of nationwide protests, was arrested by the security forces. There is no information about the agency that arrested him and his arrest was due to the intensifying pressure on the plaintiff's families at the same time

Worse the speed cuts both the target and the weapon.
