Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) cleared two unexploded MK-82 500-pound bombs they say were dropped in December 2025. One of the bombs has a M905 tail fuze which is visibly damaged.

This is probably a Skat Shell fired at a high angle. A Skat Shell dispenses four different submunitions when fired that each emit smoke or chemical irritant.

So excited for this. It is a great story and happy to be part of it. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/12... Investigation led by Miguel Ramalho 💫, and worked with some of the best volunteer open-source researchers :-)

1/ In recent months, we began documenting remnants of an unknown Israeli munition being used in Gaza. Its use has allegedly resulted in civilian casualties. To date, Israel has not publicly declared the munition’s existence. Here’s what we know so far:🧵

The Bar was first reported to have been used by the IDF in August 2024, and the IDF released video showing multiple Bar missiles being fired by a Lahav. IDF Release on the Bar: www.idf.il/291369/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK0R... Additional Info: www.israeldefense.co.il/node/64118

First visual evidence of a Romach/Accular 122mm or Bar missile I've seen in Gaza. These are 122mm rockets that have been upgraded with guidance. This is likely the Bar, as it is an upgrade over the Romach and has improved accuracy.

Something to note on the Nasser Hospital attack — there's a direct line of sight to the Reuters livestream position to a large IDF excavation northeast of the hospital. The livestream had even filmed what appear to be two IDF tanks moving in the area on Aug 21: www.youtube.com/live/uN78d9M...

Today Kenyan civil society organisations have called upon the Kenyan government and the UN security council to take action following our reporting with the Daily Nation. We found Kenyan-labelled ammunition crates in a suspected Rapid Support Forces depot in Sudan. pressrelease.co.ke/news/375

This report is a 200+ pages masterclass on how ingenuity plays a role in open source investigations. TLDR: Collect evidence of munition remnants > estimate direction of origin > overlay to know where to look for launch systems > identify military units > trace back chain of command.

A must read

For the second time in less than two weeks, a U.S. Navy fighter jet from the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman has been lost in the Red Sea. The two pilots aboard the plane ejected and sustained minor injuries.

Israel’s latest plan to displace people in northern Gaza has prompted a new wave of despair among Palestinian civilians in the territory, many of whom have already been displaced several times since the war began.

*squints* Anything from the pro- Russia channels on this?
