More breaking news.
A kid in Orenburg region has filmed smoke rising in the city of Orsk, quite possibly the very large oil refinery here, while there is an oil depot nearby.
This is very close to the Kazakhstan border.

11 November is of course a significant day.
Remembrance Day in most of the free world, now including Ukraine.
It's also the 3rd anniversary of the liberation of Kherson.
Back then it was Day 261 of Russia's full invasion, and this is one of the joyous videos I published on (pre-Musk) Twitter.

A video from the captured part of Pokrovsk, devoid of life.
Ukraine continues to launch counter attacks - the low cloud cover offers more freedom for both sides to try to advance with drones less effective.

It's very unusual for a repeat attack a few hours later, but sirens were heard again in Saratov this morning, and then a big explosion was heard.
With low cloud cover, it may sound worse than it is - it's possibly Russian air defence hitting a target.

I am going to start in the Russian city of Saratov, where another Ukraine attack began just over an hour ago.
It came just hours after I was posting videos like this at the end of yesterday's thread showing the refinery there burning...

By the way, just in case anyone was thinking I forget about Georgia, Never!
Wednesday will be the 350th day of street protests against the Moscow controlled government.
This was the scene in Tbilisi much earlier this evening - they remember Ukraine, we must remember them.

Meanwhile back in Ukraine, a red glow also hangs over Reni, the Danube port which I mentioned earlier, was being attacked by Russia.
The air raid warning has just been switched off in Odesa region.

Even national media in Russia are reporting "the huge drone attack on the twin cities of Engels and Saratov" with up to 9 explosions heard.
One brave local channel is a bit bolder, publishing a blurred video of the enormous red glow from the refinery.

The moment of the strike in Saratov can be heard in this clip.
The guys say a second drone is still flying, convinced there will be another hit.

Here we go. The clearest view yet that the refinery in Saratov has successfully intercepted drone debris - I'm just looking ahead to the official Russian report😝😂

Sorry for the typo - it should have said "there is NOW confirmation of widespread explosions in Saratov.
Here's another video of the red glow lighting up the Russian night sky in the provincial capital.
