- The words “children” were written in Russian in large white letters in front of & behind the theater that was destroyed in #Mariupol today. These were added around March 12. Video posted on March 10 shows theater packed with sheltering families. @maxar nytimes.com/live/2022/03/1…
- Russian convoy heading towards #Kyiv is now stretched out over at least 17 miles, w breaks in between. 2-3 rows deep in some areas. 20miles north of Antonov Airport. Unclear if it will head straight for the city or join forces w other troops first. @maxar nytimes.com/live/2022/02/2…
- The videos that came out of Bucha in April are impossible to forget: Dozens of bodies, some with their arms bound behind their backs, strewn along a single street. We set out to uncover who did it: Russia’s 234th Air Assault Regiment
- Satellite images show large unit of Russian troops near #Kyiv. Hundreds of vehicles, around 40 miles NW of the capital. #Ukraine 🛰️📷@maxar nytimes.com/live/2022/02/2…
- #Nigeria’s military used a speech by Donald Trump to justify shooting at protesters in October. We investigated what happened and uncovered that an elite battalion fired machine guns into a crowd of unarmed marchers. nyti.ms/2GwdKAW
00:00 - The cargo ship #Rhosus brought 2,750 bags of ammonium nitrate to the port of #Beirut in 2013. I tracked what happened next. The story ends with a massive explosion — and a hidden ship. 🛰️📷 @maxar nytimes.com/2020/08/07/wor…
- Where’s #KimJongUn? Experts told us about strategies to track #NorthKorea’s secretive leader. Hint: it involves looking at residences, motorcades, train stations, flights — and of course state broadcasts. nytimes.com/video/world/as…
GIF - We obtained exclusive footage to identify the last movements of Zemari Ahmadi, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in #Kabul. Running office errands & loading canisters of water into his car, the military might have misinterpreted his actions.
- Replying to @ckoettlThe convoy also seems to be visible in Sentinel-1 radar imagery, showing how it stretches beyond the extent of the optical image. Feb 16 vs. today. @sentinel_hub
