In the last week, it has become rare in the Middle #East as well. Just a few weeks after The #Counteroffensive visited the capital’s air defense positions, the world would be stunned by waves of deadly drones thousands of kilometers away from #Ukraine.
We’ve launched a new Iran-centered publication where we’re providing up-to-the-minute coverage of the war from neighboring #Armenia.
Want The #Counteroffensive’s human interest lens, focused on the ongoing Iran war? Check it out via the link.
At this time of international turmoil and fast-breaking news, you can’t keep track of it all without a #Counteroffensive subscription. Here’s what else happened while you may have been asleep.
Our reporter Alessandra was asleep when her mom knocked. “Hey… are you awake? The U.S. attacked #Iran.”
That’s how The #Counteroffensive team’s Saturday started, springing into action and sending a newsflash on Iran before WaPo, #Politico, and #NYT.
Here's what The #Counteroffensive is reading today:

#Rybar was using AI to create a social media ‘content farm.’ There were also requests submitted related to interference in #African elections.
Here's what the #Counteroffensive is reading today:
A #terrorist #attack in #Lviv, a city in Ukraine's west, killed a 23-year-old policewoman and injured dozens.
The homemade explosives detonated after authorities responded to an emergency call about a break in at a store.

During a pivotal push by #Ukraine to retake its territory from #russia in 2022, Elon #Musk gave an order that disrupted the #counteroffensive and dented #Kyiv’s trust in #Starlink.
Musk turned off #Starlink during #Ukrainian #counteroffensive in Kherson Oblast in 2022
3 sources told Reuters #Musk told senior engineer at #SpaceX to deactivate #satellite coverage in #Kherson which #UkrainianForces were trying to liberate
Over 100 Starlink terminals became dead zones
Ukrainian units lost #communication, #drones stopped transmitting video, artillery couldn't adjust fire due to a lack of coordination
In September 2022, #ElonMusk ordered a #shutdown of #Starlink satellite service in parts of #Ukraine, disrupting a Ukrainian #counteroffensive.
