A fire broke out on one of the balconies in the building of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow tonight, according to local emergency services.

The reason is yet unknown.

@DavidDo27585988 @centaurblossom @DefMon3 Agreed. Clarification.
1/2.
The original well known Azov Brigade (pre- a battalion on 2014, then a regiment) largely destroyed at Mariupol was in the National Guard. It is now being reportedly reformed under the Offensive Guard.

@DavidDo27585988 @centaurblossom @DefMon3 2/3. 3rd Assault Bde was formed in autumn 22 under the army command and included an existing 'Azov' Territorial defence battalion which then became a SOF unit. Volunteers also joined. It declares to have 'the same principles as the legendary "Azov" and the entire Azov movement'.

Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations now says that the fact of the fire in the building of the Ministry of Defense hasn't been confirmed, since no fire was detected there upon the arrival of the firefighters.

@DavidDo27585988 @centaurblossom @DefMon3 3/3. To confuse things the the National Guard had its own 3rd Operational Brigade (from Kharkiv) which like the Army's 3rd Assault Assault Brigade fought around Bakhmut in the winter and performed well. Over the winter it was renamed the Spartan Brigade under the Offensive Guard.

@e_slovalia Thanks. Some I herd of, but largely new to me. Hopefully, I will add when significant media is released.

@DavidDo27585988 Yes good point. Possibly the main distinction is on source of equipment. The nine brigades getting western primarilly - the 6 not?

@DavidDo27585988 Thanks yes. And you just jogged my memory on something I saw.

@e_slovalia thanks - saw them on militaryland.

Russian missile strikes hit the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv tonight.

The sound of one of the impacts can be heard in the video recorded by Kharkiv resident.

I think Prigozhin is exaggerating both Russian and Ukrainian losses (he has a incentive to do so for both), and I think it is a mistake for the Western media to take his statements at face value, which happens too often.

@GeromanAT:
"we believe the numbers of Progozhin when we like the number of Russian fallen - but not when he talks about Ukrainian losses"

Senior Lieutenant Nikita Arzhanov was a recon platoon commander in the VDV's 31st Air Assault Brigade. He took part in the landing at Hostomel and fought in Popasna, Kherson, and Svatove-Kreminna. He was killed near Bakhmut on May 14 by artillery.
