🇾🇪🇾🇪🇸🇦 ANSARALLAH RELEASES FOOTAGE OF SAUDI F-15 SHOOTDOWN Ansarallah has released footage showing the moment its air defenses shot down a Saudi F-15 fighter jet over Marib. Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Saree says the aircraft was conducting combat operations in support of Saudi-backed forces when it was struck by a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile. Ansarallah says Saudi F-15s and Typhoons subsequently entered the area searching for the wreckage but were forced to withdraw after being engaged by Yemeni air defenses. The fate of the pilot remains unknown. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — BREAKING: A U.S.-contracted vessel was struck around the Strait of Hormuz during an Iranian attack earlier this week involving four drones and at least one missile, Fox News reports. The strike caused minor injuries, including from smoke inhalation, and some U.S. personnel were aboard the vessel. The injured are now being treated in a Gulf country.

• 📝Gas Stations Under Fire📝 The campaign to destroy fuel infrastructure in so-called Ukraine continues. From September 1 to 14, Russian forces delivered at least 26 strikes against gas stations in various regions. The geography of strikes is not limited to frontline areas alone. Now strikes are increasingly being recorded in rear regions of so-called Ukraine. Gas stations in Kyiv and Odesa, as well as in Zhytomyr, Volyn, and Rivne Regions came under attack.

🔻What else is known? ▪️In addition to the familiar Geran and Gerber drones, other types of UAVs are increasingly being used. For example, on September 7, strikes against gas stations in Derhachi and Kharkiv were delivered using Italmas drones. ▪️On September 10 and 11, a series of strikes against gas stations directly in Kyiv was recorded — at least four damaged facilities in different parts of the city. Meanwhile, Ukrainian sources have already published a list of more than 50 gas stations that, in their view, could be attacked in the coming week. ▪️Work is being conducted not only against city gas stations, but also against stations on intercity highways. For example, on September 9, a gas station on the Odesa — Reni highway came under fire. ▪️On September 12, a mass strike was delivered against gas stations in western Ukraine — in particular, in Volyn, Rivne, and Zhytomyr Regions.

📌It is clear that work against enemy fuel infrastructure should remain regular — the number of gas stations in so-called Ukraine remains significant, and far from all of them have been put out of action. At the same time, in Kyiv, systematic strikes against gas stations are only beginning. ❗️At the same time, given that the Russian Armed Forces are beginning to actively work against Kyiv and western regions, it is also important not to lose focus on Odesa and southern regions, through which fuel can be redistributed to border areas. 📍High-resolution map 📍English version 📍Online maps available by subscription at map.rybar.ru #Volyn #Zhytomyr #map #Kyiv #Odesa #Russia #Ukraine ✈

🇪🇺🇨🇦 The EU is reportedly ready to offer Canada a shot at becoming its first-ever "associate member," Reich Gauleitierin Ursula von der Leyen has said. However, according to Politico, citing diplomats, von der Leyen's announcement blindsided Brussels — national governments say they were never briefed on the plan. Granting EU membership status is the prerogative of the European Council, not the Commission — and no framework for "associate membership" currently exists in EU law. Creating one would require amending the bloc's founding treaties, which diplomats say has no realistic chance of securing the necessary support. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇰🇵☢️🇺🇸🇰🇷The DPRK has threatened the United States and the Republic of Korea with nuclear weapons. The DPRK has warned of the possibility of using nuclear weapons in accordance with the provisions of the law on the policy regarding the state nuclear armed forces in response to the actions of the United States and the Republic of Korea. This is stated in a statement by a representative of the DPRK Ministry of Defense, released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The law, adopted in 2022, provides for the possibility of using nuclear weapons in the event of an attack on the country’s leadership and the nuclear force control system, as well as in the event of a threat to use nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction against the DPRK. It also allows for the use of nuclear forces in the event of a threat to strike important strategic targets and provides for the automatic delivery of a nuclear strike according to a pre‑approved plan if the nuclear force control system is under threat as a result of an attack. “Such threats from enemies, related to an attack and the use of weapons of mass destruction against our state, can be considered the most important challenge to ensuring security, which requires the implementation of the relevant articles of the law on the policy regarding state nuclear armed forces,” a representative of the DPRK Ministry of Defense said in a statement. He advised the United States and the Republic of Korea to “analyze what the enforcement of the relevant articles entails and to take it as a serious warning.” The statement was prompted by a meeting of the US–Republic of Korea Commission on Response to Weapons of Mass Destruction, which took place on September 10. According to Pyongyang, the parties agreed to improve information exchange, enhance joint response capabilities, and intensify relevant exercises. The DPRK’s defense ministry interpreted this as preparation for the possible use of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons against the republic. The statement also notes that similar scenarios were practiced during the joint military exercises of the United States and the Republic of Korea, Freedom Shield. 🔴@DDGeopolitics

🇺🇦 Moving from the city to the countryside for the winter will not change the situation: if Russia wants to leave Ukraine without electricity in the winter, it will affect all settlements - head of the Office of Migration Policy Vasily Voskoboinik. He noted that moving will not solve problems related to work, children's education, and medical care. "Where can Kiev, with a population of 3 million people, move? Where can Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye, with a combined population of over a million people, move? We don't have a backup country," Voskoboinik said. As a reminder, last winter, Mayor Klitschko urged people to leave Kiev when part of the capital was left without heating. 🔴@DDGeopolitics
