Italian journalist in Kramatorsk here. Russia allegedly killed 600 Ukrainian soldiers “in dormitories 28 and 47”. I’m checking the first place, dormitory 28: the missile missed the target, made a big hole in the soft terrain and didn’t touch the buildings around /1

Il bollettino settimanale dello Stato islamico oggi rivendica (per la quinta volta) la strage di Mosca e schernisce il Cremlino che inventa complotti per non ammettere il fallimento. Pino Arlacchi sul Fatto di due giorni fa scriveva che è stato “il governo ucraino su input Cia”

Nope. That’s not how it works. There are way more Islamic State fighters outside that camp than inside. They are just in standby mode far from there - and far from “totally defeated”

Islamic State put a major military effort in defending Albukamal and that's odd considering the string of quick or negotiated concessions after Mosul. Was it a diversionary maneuver? To give time to do what? Cover a relocation somewhere else or most likely a designed split-up?
