BBC News reported the RSF, which controls most of the western Darfur region bordering Chad, is suspected of carrying out the attack. It denied involvement and blamed Sudan's army, which in turn blamed the RSF www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Remnants from the control sections of other GB25 or GB50 bombs have previously been found after RSF attacks in Sudan, including attacks on Kassala Airport and Coral Marina Hotel in Port Sudan (as seen in the images below).
Another image shared by the N'Djamena-based broadcaster MRTV Facebook page shows Chadian soldiers standing beside the remnants www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...
Images of the Tiné remnants were shared by ATPE CHAD, which reported a local prosecutor had visited the site of impact www.facebook.com/atpelinfo/po...
The remnants appear to match the rear control section of a Chinese-made GB25 or GB50 bomb, which can be dropped by Chinese-made drones. Amnesty International previously identified a GB50 used by the RSF that it said had been re-exported to the group by the UAE www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
Munition remnants from a strike that killed 17 people in Tiné, Chad, on Wednesday, appear to match a model previously used by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the war with Sudanese government forces – despite RSF denials of involvement in the incident.
Afghanistan's Taliban government has accused Pakistan's military of targeting civilian homes in overnight airstrikes in Kabul and the southern province of Kandahar, saying children were among those killed.

Bellingcat has geolocated eight videos showing US Tomahawks cruise missiles in Iraq heading towards Iran. The missiles appear to be flying low across valleys and were most likely fired from the Mediterranean sea, an expert told us.

THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 3 March
This viral video claims to show the aftermath of a reported drone attack on the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight.
But the video was posted last week to TikTok, and shows an unrelated car accident in Riyadh.
The school building is located located immediately to the north-east of the IRGC base.
Satellite imagery from 2013 appears to show the school building was part of the same compound, before a wall is seen in 2016 separating it from the base.
New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Planet SkySat imagery today shows smoke rising from Shahid Bahonar port in Iran and a vessel on fire. The vessel alight has a visible launch pad similar to Kordestan and Makran in the analysis below and matches features seen in Google Earth imagery of Makran in Jan. 2024 . bsky.app/profile/cove...

Two days into the war:
- three F-15s shot down
- U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia in flames
- six U.S. service members confirmed dead; more wounded
- State Department tells Americans to flee the entire Middle East
I've never seen anything like this before.
There are currently at least 14 (fourteen!) KC-135R Stratotankers on their way to the Middle East. Inbound from bases across the United States.
They're used to refuel other aircraft in the air.
Chris Murphy: "There is 0 history of an air strike campaign alone toppling a dictatorship and transitioning a country to democracy. We know that air strikes do not knock out Iran's nuclear capability. Why? Because we did air strikes last year. President Trump lied to the American public."

While it is true that early on this technology encountered plenty of challenges, it is developing rapidly. A lot of the previous week's news are no longer true today. Is it possible that the Dutch DPA is basing their opinion on obsolete signals? #GDPR
Ukrainian drones flew 1,700 km to strike a Lukoil refinery in Ukhta, near the Ural Mountains, setting a new distance record for the war. Previous records at Orsk were hundreds of kilometers shorter.
