⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💥 On yesterday's attack on the #Chaplino railway station⚡️
Russian forces attacked the Chaplino railway station in the #Dnipropetrovsk region yesterday. The Ukrainian authorities blamed Russia for the attack on a passenger train and claimed that several dozen civilians were killed.
However, Kiev was in no particular hurry to provide evidence of the "bloody crime". There was only one photo from the station, in which observers recognised a military truck (https://t.me/voenacher/27781) on the platform of a supposed passenger train, which was captured in the picture.
Today, the doubts have finally been dispelled: a video (https://t.me/Slavyangrad/6338) of the scene immediately after the attack has appeared on the net, clearly showing platforms with cargo and equipment covered with tarpaulins. This confirms that it was a military train that was the target of the attack.
Judging from the video, the troop cars were literally crushed and flattened by the explosion. The cameraman was only filming from one point, so it is difficult to determine the exact epicentre of the impact on the tracks and to assess the damage to the rest of the load.
🔻Could the missile have hit a civilian train that happened to be passing nearby? No!
▪️ Before the hostilities, only two long-distance trains passed through Chaplino: Krasnoarmeysk-Lvov and Krasnoarmeysk-Kirovograd. But they too passed through the station without stopping, and the probability that they were affected by yesterday's attack is practically nil.
▪️ Commuter trains from Dnipropetrovsk also go to Chaplino - up to 4 pairs of trains per day. The only thing you can see in the photo is that normal passenger coaches are affected, not the typical ER-2 trains.
Another important point is that the damaged train in the video is not on the main line, but on the outermost siding. Passenger trains simply do not run there, but it may well be that freight platforms or empty wagons are stationary or waiting to be reshaped.
🔻 Were there any civilian victims at all?
▪️ Unfortunately, yes: it is known that an 11-year-old boy died, and there is also information about the death of people in a car parked at the station. But they were accidental victims of a military target: for example, a child died from the explosion of the second landing that hit near a nearby village.
Moreover, the Ukrainian media are in no hurry at all to release the names and details of the deaths of the other 22 officially killed. This strange selectivity can only be explained by the fact that they were all soldiers: according to reports from the field, the number of AFU casualties during the attack is much higher than the reported number.
🔻 And what was the result?
Analysis of data from open sources suggests with certainty that the target of the Russian forces' attack was a military railway train. An unknown number of AFU fighters and several civilians who were in the vicinity of the explosions and happened to be victims of the attack were killed.
No matter how the Kiev authorities and resources try to portray the incident as a targeted attack on a passenger train, objective evidence suggests otherwise.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 12 Oct 2022⚡️
The Russian Armed Forces have again struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Today, targets were hit in #Sumy and #Dnipropetrovsk regions. Compared to the previous two days, the salvos were less massive, but work to overload the country's energy system continues.
#RussianFederation Territories:
▪️ The AFU shelled #Belgorod several times during the day, but all strikes were repelled by Russian air defences.
#Starobelsk Direction (MAP):
▪️ In the #Kupyansk direction, the enemy continued its offensive against the positions of the Russian Forces near #Olshany, where the 14th AFU Brigade was able to entrench around the village. At the same time, the enemy attacked on the line #Pershotravnevoye - #Orlyanka on order to reach #Olshany from the flank.
▪️ In the course of the day, fierce fighting took place around #Kislovka. Ukrainian formations initially gained control of the village, but then the Russian forces regained their lost positions. The enemy, in turn, suffered heavy losses of personnel and equipment.
▪️ In the #Tavolzhansky sector, the AFU hold a position defence and rotate their personnel. Russian Forces are engaging the enemy with massive firepower.
▪️ South in the #Lyman - #Svatovo section, Ukrainian formations tried to cross the #Zherebets River at #Raygorodka, #Karmazinovka, #Rozovka, #Novolyubovka and #Makeevka, but suffered losses and retreated.
#Soledar Direction:
▪️ The AFU command is preparing for another Russian offensive in the #Kodema - #Kurdyumovka and #Klinovoye - Krasnaya Gora areas, which if successful would result in the blockade of #Bakhmut (#Artemovsk) from the northeast and south.
▪️ Position fighting continues in the outskirts of #Bakhmut and #Soledar. Russian Forces launched missile strikes on an AFU position near #Bakhmut railway station.
#Lugansk Region:
▪️ Ukrainian militants struck #Troitsky and #Artemovsk(?). Several people were killed in the settlements and civilian infrastructure was damaged.
#Donetsk Direction:
▪️ Enemy artillery again shelled #Donetsk, #Makeevka, #Gorlovka, #Yasinovataya, #Zaitsevo and other populated areas in the #Donetsk agglomeration.
#Zaporozhye Direction (MAP):
▪️ The Ukrainian command is finalising preparations for a massive offensive in the area. Soldiers of the 65th Brigade of the AFU Reserve Corps conducted a reconnaissance battle near #Novoaydarovka, but, hit by massive artillery fire, suffered losses and retreated.
▪️ Ukrainian formations are strengthening their defences near #Dorozhnyanka and preparing SRGs for a raid on Russian Forces' positions near #Marfopol.
▪️ There remains a high risk of an enemy landing near #Energodar, both from #Nikopol and Zolotaya Balka.
#Andreevka and #Berislav Sections at Southern Front(MAP):
▪️ In the #Andreevka sector, units of the 35th Infantry Brigade attempted to storm Russian positions on the #Kostromka - #Ishchenka line, but suffered losses and retreated. New crossings across the #Ingulets are beiong used to supply the group.
▪️ In the #Berislav area, the AFU are preparing a new offensive and moving reserves to the front line.
