1 Russia "On the morning of 16th of August a military warehouse near the village of Dzhankoy suffered from a sabotage" - the Russian Ministry of Defense reported. Nobody was seriously hurt. "The necessary measures are being taken to eliminate the consequences of the sabotage" - the Russian Ministry of Defense clarified. ’’Some damage was inflicted on the civilian infrastructure, such as power lines, power plants, railway tracks, and residential buildings’’ - the RIA NEWS reported. The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, stated that 2 civilians received minor and moderate injuries. The area of the incident is closed. About 2,000 people were evacuated. The train traffic will resume only after all the security measures have been taken. 2 Donbass The offensive actions of the Russian and the DPR forces near the town of Avdeevka continues - the reporters of ’’WarGonzo’’ reported. After the battles for Peski, the Russian forces are engaged in heavy fighting for the territory near the Donetsk airport. Reinforced positions of the Ukrainian troops are located right behind the runway of the Donetsk airport named after Prokofiev. The Russian forces noted that for the last 8 years, the Ukrainian forces have built a whole network of engineering defensive structures in that area. They actively use the vast underground communication as well. 3 Donbass The Ukrainian forces continue to violate the international rules of war. Recently the Ukrainian forces deployed the banned French landmines ’’HPD mod F2’’ near the town of Artemovsk. The use of the landmines was confirmed by the press-secretary of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov. The Ukrainian troops used at least 50 such landmines. The DPR forces found a few of them - those are anti-tank landmines with a magnetic target sensor. The landmine reacts to the movement of any metal object near it. An explosion also occurs when an electromagnetic mine detector approaches such landmine. The main purpose of the ’’HPD mod F2’’ is to destroy armored vehicles via a HEAT jet when the combat vehicle is above the mine. The mine can be installed in the ground, on the ground, and in water up to 1.5 meters deep. 4 Russia The ’Daily Express’ reported that Vladimir Putin made a "chilling warning" during the ’Army 2022’ forum that he will provide weapons to his allies. "The West has long been trying to prevent countries like Iran and North Korea from getting modern and strong weapons. Putin made it clear that Moscow is ready to help these states" - the newspaper reported. It was mentioned that Putin offered the allies to receive the most modern types of weapons, from small arms to armored vehicles, artillery, combat aircraft, and UAVs. Putin noted that all those weapons have already been used in real combat - the RIA NEWS reported. 5 Georgia The State Security Service of Georgia, together with the US intelligence services, began large-scale field training aimed to respond to chemical, biological, radiation, and nuclear incidents.

The head of the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, Dmitry Shugaev, stated that the warning applies to other states as well. They do not have the right to transfer Russian and Soviet military products to Ukraine. All these states have already received notes with warnings against such actions. In addition to the written warnings, all such countries will lose the supply of spare parts and components for the domestically produced equipment. Constantine Reztsov, specially for the ANNA NEWS.
