What's Happening

What's the big story? While Russia made tactical gains in Avdiivka, the price was incredibly high. We have pictures, videos, and analysis. If you've been feeling the reports have been mashed potatoes with no salt and pepper, buckle up because today it's a plate of buffalo wings with extra hot sauce.

What's the second story? We have to pick just one??? There is solid intelligence (but not confirmed) that a Russian Project 22160 patrol boat struck its own mine.
