Goat of Kyiv' triggers Russian boobytrap and injures 40 soldiers
At least 40 Russian soldiers have been injured after a Ukrainian goat set off a boobytrap they were laying around a hospital in Zaporizhzhia with its “chaotic movements”.
The troops were setting up a tripwire when an escaped goat from a farm in the village of Kinski Rozdory triggered it.
They had pinned grenades around the edge of a local hospital and placed the trap as a “circular defence”, Ukraine's Chief Intelligence Directorate said.
But shortly after the trap was laid, the goat wandered towards the area, creating a chain reaction that injured dozens of troops.
“As a result of the goat’s ‘chaotic’ movements, the animal ‘disposed of’ several grenades,” the Defense Intelligence wrote.
“As a result of a chain reaction, several (Russians) sustained injuries of varying degrees of severity.”
At least 40 Russian soldiers are thought to have been injured.
As of yet, the fate of the goat is unknown.
He is being called the “Goat of Kyiv” on social media - a reference to the legend of a mythical heroic pilot, known as the Ghost of Kyiv, credited with shooting down numerous Russian planes during the Kremlin’s invasion of the capital.
It just got a little homesick immediately after being sent on its way!
I don't think I can post it but there's a video doing the rounds of a Russian anti aircraft missile launcher firing a BUK missile which then proceeds to do a 180 turn and takes out it's own launcher.
Any timelines?

It doesn't matter, even the threat of retaking Kherson is enough for Russia to pull units from other fronts and relief pressure elsewhere. Ukraine will take it back eventually so long as we give the weapons to make it happen. The reason you've heard about this for months is because Ukraine has been building up a force in that area for months now, the bottleneck is the lack of heavy weapons. The ones we've sent have mostly been used in the east and Kharkiv.Any timelines?
Because the recapture of Kherson has been muted for months.
Almost as if it’s propaganda *******.
Watching the maps with interest rather than tweets.
Thats it boys! We are going to nuclear war! Good luck anyone near a major city. Im stocking on on canned beans and bottled water.
It will be interesting to see how Ukraine goes about trying to liberate this city, given it's full of civilians.
