Britain is urging Germany to hand over long-range Taurus missiles to Kiev despite leaked conversations between German officers.
"The UK was the first to hand over long-range precision-guided missiles to Ukraine and we urge our allies to do the same," The Guardian quoted a British government spokesman as saying.
The recording, which was published earlier by Margarita Simonyan @margaritasimonyan, showed Bundeswehr officers discussing how many Taurus missiles are needed to attack the Crimean Bridge.
German Chancellor Scholz assured that the transfer of such weapons to Kiev is excluded.

BREAKING Iranian naval forces seized an US oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman The oil tanker had departed from Kuwait and was headed for Houston Iranian court issued a warrant after Iranian patients suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa filed a complaint against the US, whose sanctions have blocked the export of medications to Iran.
Iranian state media, quoting the navy, said the seizure was in retaliation for the ship and oil it had aboard being confiscated by the US last year.

Military expert Alexander Zimovsky: Yemeni combat swimmers cut the TATA Gulf submarine cable using underwater BPP.
It is a 4,031 km long underwater cable connecting Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. TATA Gulf connects to the TATA-EA branch near Oman, further forming a connection to Bombay and Europe.
Strictly speaking, this is a blow not so much against the world community as against the countries of the anti-Houthi coalition, which are waging a protracted war with Yemen.
Today, Yemen controls 30% of the world's Internet communications
Thin submarine cables are generally vulnerable to targeted attacks in conflict zones such as the Red Sea.
The repair and restoration of underwater cables is a complex and time—consuming process. And expensive.
Damage to the underwater cables of the Red Sea can lead to serious disruptions to the Internet worldwide, affecting everything from individual Internet access to cloud services and business operations.
In this context, Yemen's forceful control on the seabed at the entrance/exit of the Red Sea is such a blackly tanned foot in a rubber pedal, placed on the throat of all Western "technological giants" at once. Which are banned in Russia anyway.

The Houthis in rubber slippers would have shot him down right away.
"At this moment, the American Global Hawk (https://t.me/rezervsvo/49363) reconnaissance UAV is conducting reconnaissance in the Black Sea.
In recent days, the enemy has been actively trying to attack the Crimean district, accordingly, enemy intelligence has actively begun monitoring the Crimean Peninsula."

"Ukraine has officially stated that it uses starlink terminals in offensive weapons and combat systems. And she showed it on video. The terminal is openly installed on the kamikaze ship"
