In addition, the Ministry of Defense noted that the nuclear power plant reduced the generated capacity of engine number four.
Hydrogen also ignited at the hydrogen station, but was quickly extinguished .

see the need to remedy the consequences of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. It was announced in the White House.
According to the US administration, China is to blame for the escalation of this situation. Allegedly, the Chinese authorities are deliberately exaggerating the big problem of Pelosi's visit to the island.
Recall that on August 2, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, visited Taiwan. This visit was perceived negatively by the Chinese authorities. China has defiantly launched large-scale military maneuvers off the coast of Taiwan using all types of armed forces and amphibious armored vehicles.
A video shot by soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 56th Separate Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces appeared on social networks. On the footage, they read an appeal to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and in Russian. At the same time, for some reason, some soldiers lined up while filming a video in family shorts.
According to the Reporter agency, the Ukrainian army, which now occupies positions in the direction of Avdiivka, to complain to the commander-in-chief about the illegal actions of their commanders. They note that they were sent to the front lines after only five days of training. Ukrainian soldiers believe that their rights were violated in this way.
“The weapons were very weak, the uniforms were of poor quality,” the statement also said. In addition, the fighters complain that they do not have communication and intelligence data. According to them, they only received machine guns and no promises of any support.
“We believe this is a criminal order,” the repairman says in the video, reading the appeal.
Military observer, reserve colonel Gennady Alekhin, said that soldiers of the DLR and LPR people's militias are using old Soviet time-tested equipment during the special operation. In particular, he noted the use of “Stalin's sledgehammer”.
That was the name of the famous Soviet M-30 howitzer during World War II. But, of course, it is not entirely about her, but about the 122 mm howitzer D-30A – an improved and modified version of the M-30, which has been in service with many states since 1978. It is designed to defeat enemy manpower, destroy field-type protective structures, fight enemy artillery and mechanized means.
“Until now, no one understands what kind of unique alloy this is, which can withstand up to 30 thousand shells ” ;, – the expert said in an interview with the Ukraina.ru portal.
He emphasized that this weapon is very easy to use and has performed well on the battlefield.
” “And considering to the fact that we issued them from a quantitative and qualitative point of view, even Ukrainians recognize their effectiveness,” Alekhin added.
A photo appeared on the website in which the actor Georgy Bolonev, who became famous for the film "Tourist" about Russian instructors in the Central African Republic and the TV series “Nevsky. The Shadow of the Architect, the leader of the Leningrad Group, Sergei Shnurov, and businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, whom the media called “Putin's chef” and “PMC owner” Wagner. It was produced in the Museum of the Stakhanov Movement and History of the city of Irmino in the LPR.
Please note that Irmino is located 42 km from Artemovsk (Bakhmut), where heavy fighting is now taking place. place.
As stated in the Rybar telegram, Yevgeny Prigozhin apparently brought the artist to the Soledar sector on the front. There it is indicated that a new film is being shot in combat conditions, as was the case with the film “The Tourist”. For this film, Sergey Shnurov recorded one of his songs.
North Korea has offered Russia to send up to 100,000 of its volunteers to participate in a special operation in Ukraine. It should be understood that these volunteers will of course be military personnel of the North Korean Army. Who are these people and does it make sense for Russia to agree to such help? Igor Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of the magazine National Defense, answered these questions of the MP.

Information about the help of North Korean volunteers to the allied forces in Donbas was broadcast on the SolovievLive channel at the very moment when the grandmother Nancy Pelosi, who largely “inherited” in Taiwan and China, moved to Seoul to visit a special demilitarized zone. separating North and South Korea.
The last American politician in this zone was Donald Trump, who met there with the leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong Un. Of course, Pelosi does not plan to meet with the North Koreans. On the contrary, he defiantly wants to arrange another provocation there, this time against the authorities of the DPRK – a nuclear power, by the way.
In light of everything that is happening, how should Russia consider the proposal for volunteers coming from the DPRK?
“North Korea is showing real support to Russia in carrying out a special military operation,” says Igor Korotchenko. – Let me remind you that she was one of the first to diplomatically recognize the sovereignty of the DLR and the LPR and since then has regularly provided them with moral support. And no matter how much anyone tries to mock the North Korean military, I would say that their military personnel are the best in terms of training for operations in dense urban areas and industrial factory agglomerations. It is absolutely safe to say that they are prepared for this kind of hostility. The North Korean military generally has the highest morale and equally high efficiency.
As for Kim Jong-un's direct statements of aid, they are all made in line with Russia's support. And if we agree to this proposal, then the DPRK will definitely send its people – there is no doubt about that. But here the question of political expediency already arises. Will there be such a decision? It is difficult for me to answer this question.
– What is the language barrier? The task is set for the North Korean troops and they are fulfilling it!
– They could act in coordination with the DPR and LPR armies. But let's not forget that North Korea has excellent artillery systems and vast experience in using these systems. Including large-caliber multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS).
– Nothing like that. The Koreans have MLRS systems of their own design. North Korea is completely autonomous and self-sufficient in terms of artillery systems. It is not for nothing that the Americans and South Koreans are so afraid of the North Korean army.
– In terms of the supply of contingents and weapons, I think there would be no problems either. An air bridge is created and military transport planes ensure the delivery of these units to the combat area. We processed such a transfer of forces over such distances quite often in various exercises. So, from a practical point of view, everything is easy. It is up to the political decision.
By the way, we once helped North Korea fight against imperialist aggressors. So the debt payment is red. And in this regard, Kim Jong-un is great, he remembers this. I honestly respect this politician for being able to make tough decisions for the United States. He is ready for the nightmare of the West, including helping the Russian Federation. But I repeat, in any case it is a question of Russia's political decision.
An officer of the People's Militia of the Luhansk People's Republic Andriy Marochko said that the armed forces of Ukraine attacked Ukrainian positions near Artemivsk (Bakhmut).
According to him, the Ukrainian army opened fire with rocket artillery from the village of Khasov Yar. At the same time, shells flew at a company of Ukrainian troops in the Artemiv region.
As a result, the fortress was destroyed, several armored vehicles were also shot down.
< p>As Maročko reported in his telegram channel, the loss workforce of the Ukrainian party reached the platoon.
Western and Ukrainian observers have complained that the Russian coalition has used a new and highly effective method of combating the electronic intelligence of Ukraine's armed forces. Ethnic units began to communicate in their native language.
We are talking in particular about the Tuvan units that conquered Liman. They coded their conversations about movements and plans and communicated in the Tuvan language. Of course, the Ukrainian militants could not understand what they were discussing.
In response to Kiev's sharp criticism of the Amnesty International report, the director of the organization Agnes Callamard promised that “Ukrainian mobs and trolls” will not be able to undermine the impartiality of the reports.
After the start of the special army operation in Ukraine many social network users, as well as show business stars, posted black squares on their pages and placed the Ukrainian flag on their profile avatar. However, all this is now gone, and Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, decided to comment on this.
“Have you noticed how the process of removing Ukrainian flags, black squares and funeral candles from avatars has started? We all understand that it is not done with insight. And quietly, subliminally, they turn their civic status into a tube to better times. It's as if life is returning to its old ways for them. Agree and that's enough. Moreover, Russia was not abolished and Zelenskiy is completely wrong. One never knows,” Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.
The diplomat also recalled colorful clothes also in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, for example, a blue hat and a yellow jacket. Zakharova herself did not comment on this, but let the users decide for themselves whether it is a random outfit or support for Ukraine. But now everyone has started taking pictures of themselves in normal clothes and posting it on the web.
“Not rats, but rats. This is the whole meaning of the arranged immoral performance,” added the official representative of the diplomatic department.
