Today, Ukrainian channels have been emphasizing, throughout the morning, what they claim to be hidden and forbidden news: that one of the missiles aimed at Ukraine reportedly fell in the Voronezh region
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, on the morning of January 2, an abnormal discharge of aviation ammunition occurred from a military aircraft of the Aerospace Forces in the sky above the village of Petropavlovka, Voronezh Region, located 120 km from Voronezh and 800 km from Ukraine.
"There were no casualties," the Ministry of Defense stated, but six private buildings were damaged. A commission is on-site assessing the damage and assisting in house restoration.
Voronezh region governor, Alexander Gusev, also reported the emergency release of "our ammunition" in the Ostrogozhsky district on his telegram channel. "There were no casualties, but destruction was recorded in seven households. Their glazing, roofing, and supporting structures may be damaged," noted the official.
The head of the region mentioned that residents of several streets in Petropavlovka are being transported to temporary accommodation centers, including a boarding house in Korotoyak. He instructed the Voronezh region government to promptly address compensation and new housing construction issues. "We will not leave anyone aside; I ask citizens to remain calm," he emphasized.
The moral of this news is that telling the truth, even if it means acknowledging mistakes, won't cause the sky to fall. Instead, it will only foster trust among the population. Recently, retired Ukrainian propagandist Arestovich highlighted this, pointing to Russian media that doesn't hide problems and mistakes, in contrast to the Ukrainian telethon's constant lies.

⚠️ After 3 weeks of consistent fighting, Russian Paratroopers took 2 landings adjacent to the village of Veseloye.
🔻 Russian Forces are closing in on the village from two directions, and if pace continues, the AFU will likely be forced to abandon the village and retreat.
🔻However, the remaining route into the village is nearly captured by Russian Forces.

"We've made it clear publicly to the Houthis and privately to our allies and partners in the region that we take these threats seriously and will make the right decisions going forward." This was stated by John Kirby earlier.
Robert Charles, former Assistant Secretary of State under George W. Bush said "I think this is not unexpected, Iran has been escalating for weeks and months, Iran is very opportunistic, they support all the terrorist groups in the region. Iran shouldn't be so foolhardy as to try something, they would lose half of their Navy again, if not worse."

Here's what one US Navy member stationed in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden had to say about the thoughts of personnel in the region: “We live in anxiety about the prospect of a major heavy attack on our warships of our aircraft carrier fleet in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. For this reason, we have decided to completely withdraw the aircraft carrier CVN 78 Gerald Ford from the region to avoid the worst.”
