GeoConfirmed Iran.
An injured person being carried away after the explosion in Bandar Abbas, is wearing clothing and the patch of Iran’s Police Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

GeoLocated by @andynovy
Note:
Contrary to what the name might suggest with “Command”, this is the name of the national police, which reportedly employs more than 260.000 personnel according to Wikipedia.
Given the magnitude of the explosion, it would be unrealistic to assume that none of the security forces were injured.
Notably, the individual’s uniform was not concealed.

❗️ Former Slovak Foreign Ministry head, a close ally and adviser to Prime Minister Robert Fico, announced his
resignation.
The reason for the decision was the disclosure of his contacts with Jeffrey Epstein. Miroslav Lajcak’s name appears multiple times in the 'Epstein files''.

The Battle of Vovchans'k - how the destroyed town fell after almost 2 Years.
The renewed 🇷🇺Russian offensive in northern Kharkiv oblast began in May 2024.
Only at the end of 2025 did the heavily shelled border town of Vovchans'k become entirely occupied.
Most units in this area have been facing each other for a long time, with the 🇺🇦57th Motorized Brigade being in charge of the city's defense in opposition to the 🇷🇺69th Motor Rifle Division, 128th Motor Rifle Brigade, and various attached regiments.
Operational command falls under the Ukrainian 🇺🇦16th Army Corps and the Russian 🇷🇺6th Combined Arms Army.

In late 2025, fighting in the city’s ruins had stagnated and mostly saw small 🇷🇺 infantry elements suffering heavy attrition from 🇺🇦 drone strikes.
Russian mechanized assaults, largely conducted on MTLBs in the past, had ceased by the summer.
Interestingly, datapoints for the 🇺🇦72nd Mechanized Brigade, deployed west of the city in the late summer, became scarce in October.
While we could not entirely confirm this so far, it seems likely that the brigade rotated out for recovery or moved to another front.
The 🇺🇦1st Battalion of the 58th Motorized Brigade deployed near Synel'nykove in the 72nd Brigade’s previous sector.
Here, small territorial losses were recorded in October and November - as can be expected when replacing a brigade with (possibly) a single battalion.
The 🇷🇺82nd Motor Rifle Regiment led the charge, with predictably high casualty rates.
The 🇺🇦1st Assault Battalion “Black Swan” of the 225th Regiment deployed elements into...

With the intensification of small scale assault actions in December, 🇷🇺Russian forces succeeded in pushing 🇺🇦Ukrainian units south of the city itself, even reaching the village of Vil'cha. It remains unclear whether they managed to consolidate these gains.
On the western flank of the salient, near Hrafs'ke, the 🇺🇦48th Reconnaissance Battalion (formerly part of the 72nd Brigade) is deployed as part of the 16th Army Corps.
Other elements include the 🇺🇦5th Battalion of the 120th TDF Brigade, along with the aforementioned battalion of the 58th Brigade.
Command and control above the battalion level in this sector is unclear at the moment, though it is possible that these units are all operating under the 🇺🇦57th Motorized Brigade.
🇷🇺Russian pressure here seems to be exclusively focused on the village of Lyman.
The eastern flank of the city has elements of the 🇺🇦113th TDF Brigade and 🇺🇦159th Mechanized Brigade (though some of its battalions...

Additional Notes
- Given how frequently Ukrainian reserves are discussed online, it is worth highlighting that both the 🇺🇦72nd Mechanized and 127th Heavy Mechanized brigades appear to still be in Kharkiv oblast, but generally not taking part in active combat based on the lack of recent drone footage and other indicators.
A possible explanation is that the units are undergoing a period of rest and refit, while being kept in reserve should a Russian breakthrough occur north of the regional capital.
It is also worth mentioning that, especially in the 127th Brigade's case, these units' manning levels are unknown and likely below average.
- The 🇺🇦225th Assault Regiment's 1st Assault Battalion, mentioned in post #2, left Vovchans'k in late December to join the rest of its parent regiment on the critical Hulyaipole front.
- The 🇺🇦113th TDF Brigade's 1st Battalion is to be reorganized into one of the brigade's two unmanned systems battalions.
