Reports that train services on the Kerch Bridge have been stopped as well as ferry services. It could just be temporary while they check for damage or assess further risk of course - https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3736626-train-services-stopped-on-kerch-bridge.html If naval drones were the cause, Russia are going to have to figure out how they got through.

A picture on Reddit is apparently showing a gap in the lights of the Kerch bridge around the "145th pillar". https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/151o61g/part_of_the_kerch_bridge_has_collapsed_near_the/ And traffic apparently backed up:

The topic of online frauds in the context of the war in Ukraine has been discussed here before, so I'll drop this link as a summary of a well-known case if anyone is interested. The making of a fake war hero: An American who reinvented himself as a social-media soldier in Ukraine is accused of 'stolen valor' - https://www.businessinsider.com/american-social-media-war-hero-accused-stolen-valor-in-ukraine-2023-7

The The Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are claiming it was a rocket storage point - https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/07/16/7411576/ Will it put a dent in Russia's ambitions given the reported accumulation of forces in Luhansk?

It wasn't a coup at all but merely a failed hostile corporate takeover followed by another failed hostile corporate takeover. Putin says he tried but failed to oust Prigozhin after Wagner mutiny - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/14/putin-says-he-tried-but-failed-to-oust-prigozhin-after-wagner-mutiny-figters-ukarine-war But in the fall out, let off little people start to spill the beans: Victims of “Donbas genocide” were paid actors, Prigozhin’s fired trolls reveal - https://euromaidanpress.com/2023/07/14/victims-of-donbas-genocide-were-paid-actors-prigozhins-fired-trolls-reveal/

Summary/extra info on the Bakhmut and Berkhivka situation for English speakers - https://mil.in.ua/en/news/paratroopers-of-the-russian-federation-were-captured-in-the-bakhmut-direction/ In the second video they show, I don't think I have ever seen so many troops together at one time out in the open (at the 33 second mark)

Bloomberg did an article on arms balance in Ukraine and based it on data from the Kiel Institute, IISS and Oryx - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-05/shift-in-balance-of-arms-in-ukraine-underscored-by-fresh-data?leadSource=reddit_wall

So Prigozhin's run on Moscow was just a larp about.

The Ukrainian Air Force releases their own compilation video of sorts Forbes have used the dated kill boards to piece together some info on the episode where the Ukrainians took out multiple Russian aircraft in short order over Bryansk oblast - https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/07/03/a-ukrainian-patriot-missile-crew-shot-down-five-russian-aircraft-in-two-minutes-and-possibly-forced-the-kremlin-to-rethink-its-tactics/?sh=75c2b4a41a5b

CIA says wartime Russia is a rare spy-recruiting opportunity - https://www.reuters.com/world/cia-says-russia-is-recruiting-opportunity-disaffection-with-war-rises-2023-07-01/ "U.S. CIA Director William Burns said on Saturday that disaffection in Russia with the war in Ukraine was a once-in-a-generation opportunity to recruit spies - and that his agency was not letting it go to waste."

Another take on why Prigozhin stopped, by Vlad Vexler - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5680U8ZQVMk He says that Prigozhin stopped because he didn't get enough buy-in from the regular army and the elites and then, because of that, bottled it because going further might result in his eventual obliteration. Prigozhin may well have been able to take Moscow but without the buy-in needed to establish a (temporary) replacement administration it wasn't necessarily going to last and could have become very bloody.

Surrender now so you don't have to pick sides. In Ukrainian custody really is the safest place to be.

Wartranslated wrote this as "bypassed Voronezh", which would imply that they haven't taken it. Any confirmation on who holds Voronezh? EDIT: sorry, just read your following post about the situation.

In both the 1991 and 1993 coups the participants were given amnesties, so it isn't outside the realms of possibility that Prigozhin will be forgiven, depending on how much damage he does to the state by way of disrupting the war in Ukraine. And Prigozhin has been careful to present himself as defending the people.

If it is storm shadow it looks pretty disappointing or maybe a bad shot (photos from https://www.reddit.com/gallery/14ftzf9 )

Another longer video by the people who made the command post video in Marinka. This one covers an assault on Russian positions by the 80th Air Assault Brigade. The subtitles work well enough to give a good idea of what is going on.

Some footage of the fighting for Pyatykhatky. It looks like the Russians had the kitchen sink thrown at them. https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/14dcqru/the_liberation_of_pyatykhatky_settlement_in/

They mention Kherson, so maybe the Russian MoD is afraid the reported outbreak of cholera is going to get pretty bad and is getting it's excuses in early.

Russia has other problems as well, though we'll have to see how bad it gets: Russian units in Kherson Oblast and Crimea, stricken in cholera outbreak, ‘losing combat effectiveness’ - https://english.nv.ua/nation/russian-units-in-kherson-oblast-and-crimea-stricken-in-cholera-outbreak-losing-combat-effectivene-50332646.html The story is taken from a TG post by a partisan group but Ukrainian authorities had already reported that cholera was detected in water after the Kakhovka dam was blown, so it really wouldn't be surprising - https://english.nv.ua/nation/cholera-and-e-coli-found-in-water-supplies-in-southern-ukraine-following-kakhovka-dam-destruction-50331656.html

It isn't an estimate but a count of only 100% verified deaths. As they explicitly state, it is the "bare minimum for Russia's total losses".
