Top Russian general and 500 North Korean soldiers 'killed by British Storm Shadow missiles' in devastating attack

By TARYN PEDLER and WILL STEWART

Published: 07:20 EST, 24 November 2024 | Updated: 10:28 EST, 24 November 2024

A top Russian general, along with 500 North Korean soldiers, have allegedly been killed by British Storm Shadow missiles in a devastating attack.

The strike launched by Ukraine on November 20 wiped out Lt-Gen Valery Solodchuk and also resulted with 18 Putin officers reported lost, with a further 18 wounded, it has been claimed.

Earlier reports suggested that a Kim Jong-un general had also been left injured in the attack as he commanded troops backing Vladimir Putin's Ukraine invasion.

The strike carried out by Ukraine was the first time UK Storm Shadow missiles had been used blast targets deep inside Russia.

It is understood that the pinpoint missiles had hit a Putin command post and military facility with the scale of Russian losses now alleged to be enormous.

Russian authorities have not yet confirmed losses which would be grievous to both Russia and North Korea if confirmed, and the reports are yet to be independently verified. 

The Storm Shadows were targeted on November 20 at an underground military facility in Maryino on a Tsarist estate, in Kursk region.

New footage shows a Storm Shadow missile involved in the attack as it flew towards its target, it is claimed.

Explosions rang out in Kaluga and an oil depot was hit due to a drone strike

The network reports the arrival of a UAV at the Kaluganafteprodukt oil depot, and footage was released of the affected facility, where the tank is allegedly on fire.

At the same time, the governor of the Kaluga region, Vladislav Shapsha, claims that that night "on the outskirts of Kaluga, air defense forces destroyed 3 UAVs."

"A fire broke out at the site of the fall of the wreckage of the UAV on the territory of an industrial enterprise. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties. Employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and an operational group are working on the spot," the Russian official said.

Drones Strike Russian Typhoon Defense Plant and Oil Depot in Kaluga Region

Vlad Litnarovych  |  Nov 25, 2024  |  11:17


A drone strike reportedly targeted the Typhoon plant, a key defense facility in Kaluga, Russia, according to Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), on November 25.

The facility is a vital part of Russia’s military-industrial complex, specializing in advanced defense technologies.

The Typhoon plant played a critical role in supporting Russia’s military capabilities through the following activities:

  • Development and production of radio-electronic communication systems, electronic intelligence equipment, and radar systems.

  • Manufacturing components for surveillance and targeting systems used in military hardware.

  • Producing parts for air defense, aviation systems, and missile complexes.

  • Maintaining and modernizing equipment in service with Russian forces.

  • Producing electronic modules and specialized equipment to integrate various military systems.  .  .  .

While Ukraine limits their attacks to military targets, Russia continues their attacks on civilian targets:




In photos: Russia launches missile strike at Kharkiv, injures 23 people

Yana Sliemzina - 25 November 2024 | 18:47


UKRAINE, KHARKIV, Nov 25 — Around 8:30 a.m., the Russian military attacked the center of Kharkiv with, according to preliminary reports, an S-400 missile, injuring 23 people, local authorities report.

“Morning when Russians once again conducted an act of terrorism against the civilian population,” said Ihor Terekhov, Kharkiv mayor. “[They damaged] the Kyivskyi district’s center of provisions and administrative services, of course, there were people there. This is another cynical, precise Russian strike.”

Russians hit the Kyivskyi district of Kharkiv. A fire broke out in the aftermath of one of the central streets of the city, rescuers came to put out the fire and sort out of the debris left from the explosion.

The reports from authorities say that, among the injured, five people are in surgery, two people are getting neurosurgical treatment, and five are staying in the hospital.  .  .

That particular piece of Russian propaganda, that I keep seeing over and over again, has been ingested by a lot of Conservative populists and the nuts over at FR who like to somehow blame the Ukrainians for everything bad that happened to Trump from 2017-2021.

I'll repost the truth here, one last time:

Has anyone noticed the collapse of the Rouble.  At this exact moment it takes 106.75 Roubles to equal 1 $USD.

That means each Rouble is worth about 7/8 of one cent.  This makes Putin that much more dangerous.  I hope calmer heads prevail

50 more days until Biden is displaced.  And these 50 days could be the most dangerous for nuclear exchange in the history of man to date.  The USA has a man dead from the neck up as POTUS, and Russia has a leader that is not making sound decisions either, who perhaps is actually unstable.

And our worthless Congress is abdicating their responsibility by removing Biden under the 25th Amendment.  Why?   Because Harris might just be worse than Biden.  From my view, both should be removed, and the Speaker made interim POTUS.  Our government is no longer functional at any level.  That includes all three branches.

Nuclear war could happen at any moment.  It would not take many dominoes to fall for that outcome.

Four for Four. Ukraine Hits Every Russian Military Target with ATACMS and Storm Shadow

Western long-range missiles are proving unstoppable—every strike has hit its mark, destroying Russian military targets despite Kremlin denials.

Ukraine gained approval in mid-November to unleash Western long-range missiles on Russian military targets deep in its territory. Initially, the United States permitted the use of ATACMS missiles for strikes within Russia in cases of extreme necessity. The initiative was soon backed by the United Kingdom and France, which authorized the use of Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles not only on Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories but also within Russian territory to strike military targets.

This decision significantly expanded Ukraine’s defensive capabilities, allowing it to target dozens of airfields, military bases, depots, and troop deployments. Following the green light, strikes began immediately. Within a single week, Ukraine launched four precise missile strikes using ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles against Russian military targets.

Partisan Sabotage Disrupts Russian Military Supply Lines on Key Railroad in South of Ukraine

Maryna Kulakova  |  Nov 26, 2024  |  11:02


Agents of the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar partisan movement Atesh carried out a sabotage operation in areas temporarily under Russian occupation in South of Ukraine, as reported by the Telegram channel group on November 26.

As a result of the partisan actions, Russia’s logistics on the railroad segment between Novooleksiivka and Melitopol were disrupted.

It was noted that electrical equipment in a relay cabinet was destroyed in the settlement of Oleksiivka in the Kherson region, near the administrative border with occupied Crimea.

The resistance group pointed out that the railroad line between Novooleksiivka and Melitopol is crucial for supplying Russian forces in the Zaporizhzhia region, who are currently intensifying their assault on Ukrainian positions.  .  .  .

"Liberators and protectors"

Toretsk - 87% Russian-speaking - Destroyed by Russia.  The "liberators and protectors" claim is pure bullshit.

Putin Expands $3,800 Sign-Up Bonus to National Guard Enlisting to Fight in Ukraine

Amira Barkhush  |  Nov 26, 2024  |  16:40


Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced that the 400,000-ruble ($3,800) sign-on bonus, initially offered to new military recruits, will now also apply to National Guard personnel signing up for service in Ukraine.

According to Putin’s decree, the bonuses are expected to be available to individuals who sign a one-year or longer contract with the Russian National Guard between August 1 and December 31, 2024. However, cadets currently enrolled in National Guard or Defense Ministry training programs are excluded from eligibility.

Putin’s directive revises a July order that initially introduced the payments to address troop shortages. Alongside federal incentives, numerous Russian regions provide additional financial bonuses, which have grown over time in response to declining enlistment rates.

At the beginning of October, authorities in Russia's Belgorod region were offering a record one-time payment of 3 million rubles  .  .  .

Russians used 19 glide bombs against civilians of Kharkiv Oblast in past day

Yana Sliemzina  -  26 November 2024  |  18:26


UKRAINE, KHARKIV REGION, Nov 26 — During the past day, the Russian army attacked Kharkiv Oblast with 19 glide bombs and 11 drones, seven of which were downed by Ukraine’s air defense forces, said Oleh Syniehubov, Kharkiv Oblast governor, on Ukrainian state telethon.

Syniehubov said the targets for the Russian attacks over this day were civilian and critical infrastructure.

Russian troops attack Kharkiv and Kharkiv Oblast often because of the proximity to the state border and the frontline, targeting civilian and critical infrastructure. Kharkiv is located 19 miles away from the border with Russia. 

On the morning of November 25, Russia hit Kharkiv’s center with an S-400 missile  .  .  .

Four for Four. Ukraine Hits Every Russian Military Target with ATACMS and Storm Shadow

Western long-range missiles are proving unstoppable—every strike has hit its mark, destroying Russian military targets despite Kremlin denials.

Ukraine gained approval in mid-November to unleash Western long-range missiles on Russian military targets deep in its territory.

The initiative was soon backed by the United Kingdom and France, which authorized the use of Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles not only on Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories but also within Russian territory to strike military targets.

This decision significantly expanded Ukraine’s defensive capabilities, allowing it to target dozens of airfields, military bases, depots, and troop deployments. Following the green light, strikes began immediately. Within a single week, Ukraine launched four precise missile strikes using ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles against Russian military targets.

50 more days until Biden is displaced.  And these 50 days could be the most dangerous for nuclear exchange in the history of man to date.

Nuclear war could happen at any moment.  It would not take many dominoes to fall for that outcome.

Russia's rockets are marginal but its nukes don't work anymore.  That's why Putin hasn't lit any off, even though he's tried.
