LaFinlandiaOPto Ukraine•[Combat] In Stavropol, a blast killed Major Zaur Gurtsiev, who led air operations during Russia’s assault on Mariupol.5·25 days agoA source from VChK-OGPU shared details of the explosion that killed Zaur Gurtsiev, a veteran of the “special military operation” and first deputy mayor of Stavropol. It was established that Gurtsiev had met Nikita Penkov through a gay dating platform.
Investigators found explicit correspondence between the two, including the exchange of nude photos. Gurtsiev had invited his new acquaintance for private meetings several times, but the encounters were postponed due to his business trips — until the night of the incident.
Gurtsiev and Penkov had agreed on a meeting place in advance. As soon as they got close, an explosion occurred. Preliminary data suggests the IED was hidden in a body bag worn by Nikita Penkov. The device contained shrapnel — specifically, pellets used in pneumatic weapons.
According to early findings, Penkov had allegedly been hired by unknown individuals to collect compromising material on Gurtsiev and was provided with “special equipment” capable of transmitting video. The IED had been built into this device.

The day before, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published a video of a UAV attack on a freight train. In the video, at least one carriage catches fire after the strike. It was claimed that this happened on May 24 on the Verkhniy Tokmak - Molochansk - Fedorovka railway section. The agency reported the destruction of three fuel tanks.
According to ASTRA sources, Ukrainian drones did indeed strike a moving train heading from Volnovakha to Dzhankoy. This happened on the night of May 24 near the Fedorovka station in the Melitopol district. The train was attacked by three UAVs in total.
One UAV crashed into a diesel fuel tank, which exploded and caught fire. Another one hit a freight car, and a third hit the railroad tracks.
There were no casualties.

The controversial image appears to have been generated using artificial intelligence and was approved by the city administration before painting began.
Ironically, according to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), the same stock photo from Depositphotos has been used in their own recruitment materials.

They mainly seem to be used for psychological warfare and suppressive fire. Shotgun drones are more common, but they’re used to shoot down Russian drones.
