DAMASCUS:
In the heart of Damascus, panic this moment in the Malki area. Assad's main residence is located here, the area is fortified with regime forces that are now fleeing.

ATACMS strikes on Kursk region at night.
❗️In addition to the arrivals at Kursk Vostok, you can see two strikes on the S-400 position. In total, the video shows the arrivals of at least 5 ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads.
Info about Kharkiv today. 1 missile, s-400 hit city center. This is crazy.
