BTS Argentina Fanprojects urged ARGMY to respect the privacy and security of the members of BTS during their arrival in the country. They recommended not going to the airport or the hotel, nor seeking or spreading information about their flights, accommodation, or movements. They also urged not to follow or interrupt them if someone came across them, and to avoid getting close to take pictures, record them, or ask for autographs. The group requested not to share images obtained in situations that violated their privacy, to avoid crowds, and to follow the instructions of security personnel and the accompanying team. They added that the arrival was important for the fandom, but maintained that this did not justify invading BTS's privacy. #BTS #ARGMY #Respeto (translated)

For security reasons, the activity of the [international] Pulkovo airport has been restricted. In the city, the Ukrainian attack caused fires in "two civilian infrastructures" of three neighborhoods, as well as "in the territory of the Oil Terminal in St. Petersburg," specified the local governor, Alexander Beglov. #Ucrania #Drones #SanPetersburgo (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Ukraine launched a massive long-range drone attack against St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region overnight. According to his post, the impacts hit a oil terminal and the main data center of VKontakte, as well as causing fires in several districts. He added that regional authorities reported the downing of dozens of drones and that restrictions at Pulkovo Airport delayed or canceled at least 46 flights. Montes de Oca noted that the terminal had an annual capacity of about 12.5 million tons and was an important point for transporting fuels via the Baltic and supplying the Russian fleet that exported crude oil. Although, according to him, the damage only affected part of the facilities, he stated that the fire in tanks and pumping systems temporarily suspended 100% of loading operations. He estimated that repairs would reduce Russian logistical capacity to export diesel by 15% to 20% for several weeks. Regarding VKontakte, which according to Montes de Oca had over 95 million active monthly users, the author stated that the data center provided communication, video, and access to public platforms, and was also integrated into state systems for education, health, and e-government. He added that NetBlocks recorded a drop in platform traffic to 56% of its normal level, about 44% less. In his analysis, the attack added to previous ones against Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladímir, and could affect digital and state services. Montes de Oca indicated that the Ruchyi depot could store 114,000 cubic meters of fuel and supplied heavy and rail transport of the Leningrad Military District. He also stated that the Baltic ports supported Russian exports of crude and its derivatives. According to his post, Russia aimed to export between 3 and 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of 2026, more than 10% of the global market, and damage to terminals and refineries would limit its income and export capacity. The author said that the offensive weakened the energy truce driven by Donald Trump and that Kiev had warned it would respond if Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. He added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had confirmed that Starshield was not operating in Ukraine nor had it been enabled to guide Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, so, according to Montes de Oca, it was not used in the attack. #Ucrania #SanPetersburgo #GuerraUcrania (translated)

Gustavo Petro claimed that Abelardo had deceived Caldas, Risaralda, and Quindio by allowing, as he said, private interests to benefit from public goods in the coffee region. He maintained that the region should not limit the mobility of those who worked there and that he decided to remove the tolls when the concession contract expired, instead of extending it. Petro rejected what he attributed to the minister of the Char clan: that the State could not maintain the roads. He pointed out that most states in the world did so and that maintenance was cheaper with a larger extent of railroads. He also stated that in Colombia, concessions were financed with tolls, but the State paid concessions separately for construction. Additionally, he accused Abelardo of withdrawing funds from the Palestine airport and leaving it frozen again, as well as extending the road concession and maintaining tolls that, according to Petro, only enriched their owners. He added that turning labor products into income for corrupt individuals impoverished workers and the entire region. https://t.co/OpQYhP8vTf #Colombia #LibreMovilidad #Corrupción (translated)
