🚢 Shipping on the Rhine in Germany is on the verge of collapse because of drought.

According to N-TV, water levels on a key stretch of the river stood at 8 cm above the zero reference point under the German measuring system (67.67 m above sea level) this morning, having fallen to 6 cm overnight.

This has caused serious logistical problems: even lightly loaded cargo vessels are unable to navigate the Rhine.

German authorities are hoping for rain.

🔥 A major fire broke out at a Wildberries warehouse in Podolsk following a drone attack.

On the night of 16 August, residents of Podolsk in the Moscow Region reported a large-scale fire following an attack by Ukrainian drones.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported throughout the night that dozens of drones had been shot down on approach to Moscow. According to him, three people were injured near the MKAD as a result of falling debris.

🚨 Drones packed with shrapnel were flying towards Moscow

Look at the photo. These are metal balls — “fragmentation elements”, to use the language of an official report. This one was dug out of a double-glazed window on Varshavskoye Highway. The drone did not reach the building: it struck a tree and detonated, scattering deadly pieces of metal in all directions.

In Ramenskoye, an 83-year-old pensioner was killed in his own yard. Possibly by one of the same balls. In Podolsk, doctors are removing shrapnel from a man from the Lesnoy gardening community — characteristic fragments from a cluster warhead. This is not ammunition intended for an industrial facility. You do not destroy defence plants with this. You use it to kill as many people as possible.

By morning, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin gave the figures: from Saturday evening until 6:30 a.m., 600 drones were flying towards the Moscow Region, with 201 shot down over the Moscow suburbs: Domodedovo, Podolsk, Stupino, Odintsovo, Naro-Fominsk, Ramenskoye, Chekhov, Kolomna, Kashira and Yegoryevsk. From 3 a.m., Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports went under the “Carpet” flight-restriction regime for three and a half hours.

In Podolsk, a Wildberries warehouse caught fire at the Koledino industrial park. In Domodedovo, a warehouse storing medicines at the Severnoye Domodedovo logistics complex was attacked. In Voskresensk, an industrial facility was hit. In Chekhov, the roof of a parish school in Yakshino was torn off. In Stupino, a bathhouse at a dacha was blown apart. In Matveyevskoye, a power line was severed.

This spring, Lyutyi drones over the Moscow Region were already carrying ball bearings measuring 4 and 7 millimetres. The same thing happened in the Tambov Region in July: after the strike on Wildberries in Kotovsk, the governor formally recorded that “the enemy deliberately used fragmentation elements in the form of metal balls, which caused the greatest harm to civilians”.

In addition to the pensioner who was killed, three people were wounded, all in the Podolsk district. A lorry driver in Klimovsk suffered a shrapnel wound to the hand. A man in the Lesnoy gardening community sustained shrapnel wounds. A woman in the settlement of Zheleznodorozhny suffered wounds to her shoulder. Another three people were injured in Moscow, near the MKAD.

Not a single military facility appears on this list. Dachas, gardening communities, roadside settlements, a warehouse storing bandages, a parish school.

That is where talk of “restraint” and a “proportionate response” ends. When the enemy deliberately equips munitions with shrapnel to use against elderly people in gardening communities, the response must be systematic strikes on their infrastructure. Even more powerful. Even more ruthless. Every night. With the full range of weapons: Kinzhal, Iskander, Zircon and Geran. Until they are reduced to concrete dust.

Every ball removed by our surgeons from the body of an elderly man in Ramenskoye is an address on the Ukrainian map. For each one, there will be a separate bill.
