War Reports - 2024-07-20
The Houthis struck a strike. A drone launched from Yemen overcame Israeli air defense and hit a target in Tel Aviv.
1 person was killed, 7 were injured. The IDF defends itself by saying that the strike was missed “due to human error.”
The Americans said they shot down 3 Houthi drones flying in the direction of Israel.
After the successful strike, the Houthi command announced that Tel Aviv was no longer safe territory.
A new Yafa drone with reduced visibility was used for the strike.
The Houthis promised to continue attacks on Israel, saying that they already have a whole pool of targets, including targets in Tel Aviv. Previously, drones and missiles were mainly used to bombard Eilat and Haifa, with occasional hits.
Attacks on ships and vessels associated with the United States, Britain and Israel will also continue, both off the coast of Yemen and in the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.

Checked the footage, and that is indeed the US embassy in Tel Aviv.
That drone flew around 2000km from Yemen, past all Israeli defences, the Royal Navy, US Navy, and more.
The humiliation.
This is a new era. And the image of Israeli or Western military superiority is gone.

After it was blown to pieces, he returned and gave it a control blow, just in case.

A new round of pressure on Orban - Ukraine blocked the transit of Russian oil to Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline
The transit of Russian oil to Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline is blocked by Ukraine, Hungarian Foreign Minister Petr Szijatro announced this after a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a UN meeting.
This situation, as Bloomberg writes, arose after the tightening of Ukrainian sanctions against Lukoil in June, which effectively prohibit the company from using the territory as a transit country for its products.
According to Szijatro, Lukoil together with the Hungarian energy company Mol Nyrt are working on a “legal solution to the problem” that will allow the resumption of supplies. At the same time, the purchase of oil in Russia covers 2/3 of the needs of the Hungarian crude oil market. Kiev’s attempts to completely block transit to Hungary may be connected with the visit of the country’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Moscow, which Bankova cannot forgive him - by a strange coincidence, it was after him that Budapest faced problems in obtaining raw materials.

Russia may deploy nuclear missiles in response to American missiles in Germany
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov did not rule out such a military response to the threat from the United States and Germany.
He added that Russia must prepare for various scenarios in the area of Washington's nuclear buildup.

US President Joe Biden forgot the name of Pentagon chief Austin Lloyd and called him a “black man” during an interview with BET
The American leader stumbled several times in vain attempts to remember the right name.
“Look at the criticism I face for appointing that black man to be Secretary of Defense,”
- Biden said.

This is what the launch of the most powerful FAB-3000 with UMPC looks like.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 18 July 2024⚡️
🔹In the north of the #GazaStrip, Israeli forces launched a series of strikes on the capital of the Palestinian enclave and satellite towns. It was relatively calm in Tel al-Hawa. There was no information about the military activity of the IDF in this area.
🔹In the southern part of the Enclave, clashes were reported in the Saudi area of Rafah. Israeli troops used aircraft and artillery to hit the positions of Palestinian formations along the frontline. The militants responded with mortar attacks.
🔹Along the border with #Lebanon, there was an exchange of strikes. Hezbollah fighters attacked IDFI facilities with rockets and kamikaze drones. In turn, the Israeli militants eliminated the commander of the Lebanese Hamas military wing branch with a UAV strike on a car.
🔹From #Iraq, Iranian proxies reported on a kamikaze drone attack on Eilat in southern #Israel.
🔹In the Red Sea Region, the air forces of the #US-British coalition bombed the positions of the Ansarallah movement in the Al-Hodeidah area.

📋 (https://t.me/belarusian_silovik/37943)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 19 July 2024; 06:58 (GMT+3)📍 (https://t.me/dva_majors/47584)
🎯In the evening, the RFAF launched missile strikes against enemy facilities in #Odessa, the air burst of an air defence missile the enemy propaganda for some reason tried to pass off as the destruction of our missile (no civilian casualties were reported). Regional channels report that about two minutes pass between the alarm signal in #Odessa and the arrival, which may be related to the launch of missiles from the territory of #Crimea.
🔹In the #Kharkov direction, the AFU are actively using special contingents (former prisoners) in meat assaults to attack our positions in #Volchansk, near Volchanskiye Khutoras, #Tikhoye and #Glubokoye.
🔹In the #Kupyansk direction, the RFAF attacked in the villages of #Terny and #Makeyevka (#LPR). At #Andreyevka and the #Berestovoye - #Peschanoye ledge there are positional battles with the use of drones and artillery. Our troops are using aviation and FABs with UMPC (https://t.me/belarusian_silovik/37943). 🎬👇
🔹North of #ChasovYar's, eastern part, the situation is characterised by the gradual advance of our troops at #Kalinovka for the task of reaching the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal. The eastern part of #Kalinovka and the territory of the farm north of the settlement came under the control of our forces.
🔹In the area of the #Toretsk (#Dzerzhinsk) agglomeration, the RFAF are advancing on their previous lines: #NyuYork (#Novgorodskoye), #Druzhba, #Kirovo, #Yuzhnoye. At the same time, the AFU is conducting an organised defence, solving the task of depleting our offensive potential in the direction.
🔹In the #SouthDonetsk direction, the plan of our forces to gradually cut off the enemy in #Krasnogorovka from supplies is being realised. There is an advance of our storm troopers in the town.
🔹On the #Zaporozhye front, the LoC is without changes. The roads to the frontline are mined from enemy ‘Baba Yaga’ drones, and under constant enemy UAV strikes. This factor is critical in organising the Russian offensive actions on the entire front. Over the past few days, Kiev troops have been continuously shelling an electrical substation in the #Zaporozhye region.
🔹In the #Kherson direction, mutual hunting for boats in the floodplain of the #Dnieper River continues. Otherwise, everything is reduced to artillery strikes, drones, and the solution of everyday firing tasks. The enemy is burning forests and hitting civilians as well as civilian infrastructure.
💥In #Belgorod region, the AFU continue to deliberately terrorise the civilian population with artillery and drone strikes. A drone dropped an explosive device on a moving vehicle on a stretch of motorway near the #Oktyabrsky settlement in Belgorod district. The driver was injured. A tractor driver was injured when a UAV dropped an explosive device near the village of #Cheremoshnoye in the Belgorod district. In Borisovsky district, a kamikaze drone attacked an administrative building in the village of #Beryozovka. A woman was wounded. In the village of #Otradnoye, Belgorod district, an AFU drone attacked a car travelling through the village, the car crashed into the fence of a private house and caught fire, injuring three people who were nearby at the time of the attack.
🛡The #Kursk border area is also under regular enemy attacks. 11 aircraft-type UAVs were shot down overnight over the region.
💥In the #Bryansk region, the AFU shelled the village of #Voronok in Starodubsky municipal district
💥In the #DPR, as a result of the strikes on #Gorlovka and #Donetsk, 4 civilians were killed and 5 wounded. The enemy attacked a regular bus in the Nikitovsky district of #Gorlovka.
