"Moving the fence as we need: situation on the Lebanon-Israel border from November 12 to 13, 2025

Despite internal political squabbles, the policy of the Israeli leadership regarding neighbors shows enviable stability. The Israelis continue to pressure the Lebanese army to justify their attacks.

🔻What happened in southern Lebanon?

▪️The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out another series of strikes, which led to large fires in several parts of the country.

▪️Lebanese security forces received coordinates of Hezbollah targets near the Litani River from the IDF, but searches on the ground yielded no results.

▪️Due to the latest IDF strikes, a recreational area on the river coast was destroyed, which was allegedly blocked by debris.

▪️The Israelis continue to build a wall in the Lebanese border area and deny recent reports that the structure extends into the republic’s territory — all work is allegedly carried out beyond the "Blue Line."

🖍It is difficult to say with certainty who is right, Arabs or Israelis, but one should take into account the specific views of Israelis regarding the ownership of certain territories — for example, the West Bank.

❗️Therefore, it is quite possible that the Israel Defense Forces have indeed taken control of part of Lebanon. Especially considering that the "Blue Line" is not a final confirmed border but a temporary boundary established by the UN, and territorial disputes between the two countries have not been legally resolved.

"Approach to Volchya near Orestopol

In the East Zaporizhzhia direction, the "Vostok" group of troops is advancing northward. Assault units of the 36th Guards Brigade of the 29th Army have liberated the settlement of Orestopol in the central sector of the front.

Previously, the enemy counterattacked from here towards Sosnovka and Berezovo, trying to regain lost positions. However, they exhausted their forces, which allowed the Russian Armed Forces to capture the settlement after fighting and effectively position themselves across the river from Bolshemikhaylovka — one of the enemy's large and important defensive strongpoints.

📌 This village has been subjected to airstrikes for quite some time, including FAB bombs with large-caliber UMPK. However, so far this is hardly a prelude to an assault — the settlements are separated by a river.

Attacks continue in other sectors as well. Russian units, having secured Danilovka, are advancing further west. Additionally, fighting continues near Rovnopolye and Yablokovo.

"Raid on southern Russia

Last night was challenging for air defense calculations: the enemy launched several hundred UAVs over the territory of Russia. The largest attack targeted Crimea and Novorossiysk,

As before, the strike was preceded by reconnaissance flights by NATO aviation: within a short time, aircraft from the French Aerospace Forces, the British Royal Air Force, and the Belgian Air Force were noted in the airspace over the Black Sea.

➡️The first group of UAVs was launched during the day from the vicinity of Odessa towards Tarkhankut, the second flew from the direction of Voznesensk in the Mykolaiv region. Two more groups passed over Koblevo and Zatoka.

➡️The drones entered the range of the air defense systems already in the evening, and by midnight to one o'clock at night, over a hundred UAVs were shot down across almost the entire territory of the Crimean Peninsula.

➡️In the Krasnodar region, the target of the attack was Novorossiysk. More than 60 UAVs entered the city from the sea side: a fire broke out near the oil depot and port infrastructure, explosions were recorded on the ground, and a state of emergency was declared in the city.

➡️According to official information, four people were injured: one due to falling UAV fragments in a house, and three others at the port on board a civilian vessel. A tank and a pier of Chernomortransneft, the container terminal NUTEP, as well as the oil depot at the “Sheskharis” complex were damaged.

📌After the night raid, a reconnaissance electronic intelligence and observation aircraft was again spotted over the Black Sea. The same French Air Force Beechcraft 350ER/ALSR VADOR aircraft made a flight shortly before the first groups of UAVs took off from the territory of the so-called Ukraine yesterday.

"Caught a GUR operative and sent greetings

On the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd front, heavy fighting continues along almost the entire contact line.

There are areas where the enemy holds the initiative, but mostly the Russian Armed Forces are advancing successfully, and in the north of Pokrovsk they even caught a surviving participant of the failed GUR landing operation.

🔻How is the situation developing?

▪️On the northern flank, Russian troops are trying to consolidate in Shakhovo, and now assault groups are operating throughout the settlement. Reports of "new unsuccessful attacks by armored groups" are not confirmed.

▪️The situation remains difficult in Rodynske, where the enemy, after several counterattacks supported by armored vehicles, managed to cling to the built-up area. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces failed to advance further and break the "claw" of the semi-encirclement of Myrnohrad.

▪️In Myrnohrad itself, the presence zone of Russian assault units is gradually growing, advancing mainly from the east. Yesterday, fighters of the 5th OMSBR raised a flag over the shaft of mine 5/6, which the enemy tried to shoot down with drones.

▪️The southern flank remains static for now. After the entry and start of clearing of Sukhyi Yar, there are almost no reports from there.

▪️Fighting continues in Pokrovsk. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the completion of clearing in the settlement of Roh. It began earlier this month, and now the Russian flag is deployed in the village.

▪️On the northwestern outskirts of Pokrovsk, where the enemy conducted an unsuccessful GUR landing, inscriptions appeared with thanks to Budanov for the trophies.

▪️Soon it became clear that one of the GUR militants who landed by helicopter was captured. He confirmed that there were two helicopters, each with 11 people, and only he survived.

🖍 The defense of Pokrovsk for the enemy is gradually coming to an end, although remaining members of Ukrainian formations in the city will be hunted for a long time. Fighting in the north of the city will also continue, although there are already signs of advancement as far as Hryshyne.

🚩In Myrnohrad, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are still defending more organizedly, but here too, methodical air strikes are taking their toll, and the Ukrainian units thrown into the city with heavy losses only delay the inevitable.

❗️Enemy counterattacks in the area of Rodynske and near Zolote Kolodets also only partially stopped the breakthrough and forced the enemy to expend forces that could have been directed to Myrnohrad and other sectors.

🇷🇺❌🦉🇬🇧👃🛰 — ✔️ TASS | FSB thwarts Kiev's operation to hijack MiG-31 jet for provocation against NATO base | According to the Russian security service, the Ukrainian military intelligence officers tried to recruit Russian pilots, offering $3 million:

"MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) thwarted a Ukrainian military intelligence operation to hijack a Russian MiG-31 fighter jet equipped with a Kinzhal hypersonic missile to carry out a false flag attack on NATO's largest airbase, the FSB press office told TASS.

"The Federal Security Service has uncovered and thwarted an operation by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate and its UK supervisors to hijack a Russian MiG-31 supersonic fighter jet, which is equipped with a Kinzhal hypersonic missile, and fly it abroad," the press office said.

"In order to hijack the aircraft, Ukrainian military intelligence officers tried to recruit Russian pilots, offering $3 million. The special services then planned to send the jet with the Kinzhal missile to the area where NATO's largest airbase in southeastern Europe is located, in the Romanian city of Constanta, where it could be shot down by air defenses," the FSB emphasized. "The measures taken have thwarted the plans of the Ukrainian and UK intelligence services to carry out a large-scale provocation," the press office pointed out."

🇨🇳🧪🚫🇺🇸 — 📰 The Wall Street Journal | China Hatches Plan to Keep U.S. Military From Getting Its Rare-Earth Magnets | Beijing considers ‘validated end-user’ system to fast-track certain export licenses | November 10, 2025:

"China plans to ease the flow of rare earths and other restricted materials to the U.S. by designing a system that will exclude companies with ties to the U.S. military while fast-tracking export approvals for other firms, according to people familiar with the plan. 

The “validated end-user” system, or VEU, would enable Chinese leader Xi Jinping to follow through on a pledge to President Trump to facilitate the export of such materials while ensuring that they don’t end up with U.S. military suppliers, a core concern for China, according to the people familiar with the plan.

If strictly implemented, the system could make importing certain Chinese materials more difficult for automotive and aerospace companies that have both civilian and defense clients. Beijing’s plan could still change and its licensing system wouldn’t be certain until it is implemented, the people said."

🇨🇳🚫🇺🇸😀 — 📰 Bloomberg | China’s Purchases of US Soybeans Stall Despite Trade Truce | November 12, 2025:

"China’s purchases of American soybeans appear to have stalled, less than two weeks after the US touted a wide-ranging trade truce that signaled thawing relations between the world’s two biggest economies.

After a flurry of orders late last month — which were the first of this season — Chinese imports of US cargoes seem to have faltered, according to traders who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information. They said they were not aware of new shipments. The pause is fueling uncertainty over whether the biggest consumer of American soybeans will import as much as US President Donald Trump’s administration claims to expect.

Washington said Beijing had pledged to buy 12 million tons of soybeans by the end of this year, followed by 25 million tons annually over the next three years. China has yet to confirm the specific purchase commitments mentioned by Trump’s team, but Beijing has reduced tariffs on American soybeans and lifted import bans on three American exporters, including CHS Inc., reciprocating similar conciliatory actions from the US."

🇨🇳🌍➖ — 📰 ZeroHedge | China May Have Just Cracked The Code On An Outer Space Particle Beam | November 12, 2025:

"As if nuclear armageddon down here on Earth wasn't enough to worry about...China could soon be readying particle beams from outer space.

Particle beams — streams of high-speed atoms or subatomic particles — have long been the holy grail of space warfare. The concept sounds simple: zap an enemy satellite with a beam so intense it melts or fries the target. Reality, however, has been less cooperative — mainly because of power, according to the South China Morning Post.

Building such a weapon means delivering megawatts of energy with microsecond precision, a combo engineers usually describe as “pick one.” Systems that are powerful are clumsy; systems that are precise can’t handle the juice.

But Chinese scientists now claim they’ve solved this decades-old physics headache. In a study published in Advanced Small Satellite Technology, a team led by Su Zhenhua of DFH Satellite Co. unveiled a prototype power system that reportedly hits both marks — high power and pinpoint control."
