[Regnum] FSB officers detained an Azerbaijani citizen suspected of preparing terrorist attacks in Stavropol Krai. This was reported on September 8 by the service's Public Relations Center.
"A citizen of Azerbaijan has been detained who proactively joined a Ukrainian terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation and, on the instructions of its leaders, conducted detailed reconnaissance of a number of sites intended for the commission of sabotage and terrorist acts, in particular administrative buildings of law enforcement agencies and transport infrastructure in the cities of Yessentuki and Stavropol," the statement said.
The suspect acquired the components necessary for making homemade explosive devices, placed them in a hiding place and intended to use the skills acquired during his service in the Azerbaijani Armed Forces to assemble several explosive devices for terrorist attacks. Components for making explosive devices, communications equipment and electronic storage devices containing information about his illegal activities in the interests of a Ukrainian terrorist organization were seized from him. A criminal case was opened under Article 30, Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Preparation for a terrorist attack").
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Russia's mysterious 'Doomsday Radio' came to life on Monday, sending out two cryptic voice messages to unknown listeners.
The Cold War-era shortwave station has been broadcasting a continuous, monotonous buzzing sound since the 1970s.
Located about 18 miles from Moscow, it is believed to be part of a secret military communications network, possibly even a failsafe linked to Russia's nuclear command system.
Today, the usual buzzing was interrupted twice with cryptic messages in Russian, consisting of numbers, names or codewords.
Among them were 'NZHTI,' a call sign the station has used before, and 'HOTEL,' along with a string of numbers, 38, 965, 78, 58, 88, 37, which some speculated could represent coordinates.
A video of the broadcast has flooded social media, where users are fearing 'something big is happening tonight.'
'Those codewords sound straight out of a Cold War thriller. Who's listening and why now,' an X user shared.
While the broadcasts seem random, some experts believe the Russian government is using the radio station.

[Regnum] Residents of different regions of Russia were able to observe a total lunar eclipse. The orange Moon, also called the corn moon, entered the Earth's penumbra at 18:28 Moscow time, marking the beginning of the penumbral phase. This phenomenon occurred in the country for the first time in seven years.
It could be seen anywhere in Russia, with the exception of the eastern part of the Chukotka Peninsula, as well as in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica. The eclipse also coincided with a supermoon. This means that at that moment the Moon was close to perigee - the closest point in its orbit to the Earth.
According to the head of the astronomical complex and observatory of the Moscow Planetarium Alexander Perkhnyak, an hour later, at 19:27 Moscow time, the partial phase began. The Moon began to acquire a reddish color long before this time. When observed through a telescope, the color looked uneven, containing peach, scarlet, orange, and brown shades.
The total eclipse started at 20:31 Moscow time. It lasted almost an hour and a half.
The Russians are trying to bypass Liman from different directions in order to then advance towards Slavyansk, the Dnepr OSUV reported.
Russian invaders are trying to establish fire control over the northern outskirts of the city of Slavyansk in the Donetsk region and the approaches to it. This was stated by OSUV Dnepr representative Oleksiy Belsky in a commentary to Ukrinform on Monday, September 8.
Asked whether he could confirm that the enemy was continuing to try to gain fire control over the northern outskirts of Slavyansk and the approaches to it, Belsky said: "Yes, I can confirm that."
Regarding reports of allegedly increased activity of enemy FPV drones in the Liman-Raigorodok-Slavyansk direction, the representative noted that the use of such UAVs by the occupiers is constant, but no significant increase in this type of activity has been observed.
"I wouldn't say that it (the use of FPV drones – ed.) was particularly active. They constantly use regular FPV, and more and more FPV on fiber optics," Belsky said.
He recalled that the Russians are essentially continuing their summer campaign, and “since 2014, Slavyansk has been a kind of fetish for them.”
According to the representative, the Russians are trying to bypass Liman from different directions in order to subsequently advance towards Slavyansk.
"They can approach Slavyansk itself, they come from the northeast, from the side of Seversk, from the northeast - this is from Liman, where they are showing extremely serious activity. They tried to break through to it - it does not work, then they begin to try to break through from the south, and from the northwest: first take Liman and go directly to Donetsk Raygorodok, Nikolaevka and directly to the outskirts of Slavyansk, or from the north through Svyatogorsk go down. As options, through Kramatorsk - this is already from the south," Belsky said.
According to his assessment, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are holding back the enemy’s onslaught, which is intensifying.
"They are not succeeding, so now the top leadership of the Russian Federation, in particular the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense, is putting pressure, and accordingly they (the Russian military – ed.) are increasing the pressure themselves," the representative summed up.
Let us recall that in the course of 24 hours on September 7, Russia lost more than 900 fighters
The enemy's greatest activity is recorded in the Pokrovsk direction. There, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already repelled 25 assaults.
Since the beginning of the day, 77 combat clashes have occurred on the front. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an operational report as of 16:00 on Monday, September 8.
Thus, in the Severo-Slobodskoy and Kursk directions our soldiers repelled two enemy attacks today, and two more clashes are ongoing.
"At the same time, Ukrainian units carried out active operations and achieved success in certain areas," the statement said.
In the Yuzhno-Slobodskoy direction, the enemy attack continues in the Vovchansk area.
In the Kupyansk direction, one attack was repelled in the Mirny area.
In the Liman direction, the invading army carried out five attacks near the settlements of Kolodezi, Torskoye, and also in the direction of Shandrigolovoe. Four combat clashes continue.

Donetsk, September 8, 2025, 21:51 — IA Regnum. On September 8, the Donetsk People's Republic held celebrations to mark the 82nd anniversary of the liberation of Donbass from Nazi invaders.
The event "We are faithful to this memory!" was held on the Alley of Glory in Gorky Park. There, flowers were laid at the monuments dedicated to the heroic events of the Great Patriotic War.
“ The event “We are true to this memory!” reminds us of the importance of preserving historical memory and responsibilities to future generations,” noted the head of the Proletarsky intracity district administration, Elena Ryazantseva.
In Mospyne, the event "Your Native Land Will Not Forget You" was held, the participants of which laid flowers at the Common Grave, expressing gratitude and respect to all who gave their lives for the Motherland. The event was attended by the heads of city enterprises and institutions, as well as students of educational institutions.
The head of the Mospinsky territorial administration of the Donetsk administration, Oleg Strelchenko, noted that laying flowers at the mass grave expresses gratitude and respect for their feat, and the memory of them helps to appreciate the peace and tranquility won by the heroes for future generations.
"Each of us must remember those who did not return from the battlefield. We must keep their memory in our hearts and pass it on to future generations. We must do everything possible to ensure that their sacrifice was not in vain. Let us be worthy of their memory by living the way they dreamed we would live," said Donetsk City Council Chairman Yuriy Atamanov.
The Donetsk region celebrates the Day of Liberation of Donbass from Nazi Invaders on September 8. On this day in 1943, Stalino (now Donetsk) was liberated. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the city was the largest industrial center of the USSR. With a population of 507 thousand people, it provided 7% of the all-Union coal production, 5% of steel and 11% of coke.

[Regnum] Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Oleksandr Syrsky sent rare Western weapons to defend Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People's Republic. This was reported on September 8 by the Telegram channel "Military Chronicle".
"For defense, the remains of self-propelled artillery are being transferred to Konstantinovka, including rare Western models that were previously used sparingly and hidden in the rear. They are used to a greater extent in stationary positions, which speeds up their destruction," the statement said.
The military correspondents noted that the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is repeating the mistakes of Vovchansk. At that time, all available forces were pulled into the combat zone to hold back the Russian offensive, including scarce foreign-made self-propelled artillery units. Despite this, the losses of the Ukrainian army amounted to several hundred units of equipment.
“The importance of Konstantinovka and neighboring Pokrovsk (Russian name: Krasnoarmeysk) for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is obvious – these are two key nodes, the holding of which allows the Ukrainian Armed Forces to maneuver reserves along a large section of the front,” the war correspondents noted.
According to them, when the Russian army is able to break through in this direction and cut through the front, the transfer of forces and resources for Kyiv will become extremely difficult.
On August 25, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin reported that units of the Russian army were entering the outskirts of Konstantinovka. He added that in the Konstantinovka direction, the Russian Armed Forces fighters were making good progress and liberating settlements.
On September 6, a Russian army soldier said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are experiencing a shortage of troops near Konstantinovka, so many units are retreating from the forest belts to rear positions to avoid direct firefights. At the same time, the soldier specified that Ukrainian servicemen are still trying to counterattack the lost positions in small groups, but to no avail.

[Regnum] Scientists from the Arctic Research Center of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) have discovered an ancient paired stone-age burial ground about 5.5 thousand years old. This was reported on September 8 by the center's press service.
A unique historical monument in the Khangalassky ulus was discovered by a local resident and renowned regional historian, Alexander Filippov. He came across a human skull, which, according to archaeologists, was knocked out [carefully extracted]
by horses from the crumbling coastal cliff of the Lena River.
“To establish the historical and cultural value of the discovered object, which has the characteristics of an archaeological heritage site, and to save it for science from further destruction, a working commission was created by order of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic Administration for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites,” the research center reported.
In addition to the administration staff, the expedition included archaeologists from the Arctic Research Center of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Yakutsk Complex Laboratory of Archaeology of the Far North of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, under the leadership of candidate of historical sciences Viktor Dyakonov and Elena Solovyova.
In the summer of 2025, during excavations, a double burial of people who lived in Yakutia at the end of the Stone Age, in the Neolithic era, was discovered. The burial ground contained the skeletons of an adult and, presumably, a teenager, accompanied by rich burial goods. Among the finds were a large number of weapons: stone arrowheads of various types, composite knives with bone handles and flint insert blades, as well as many other blades.

[Regnum] Europe is discussing ensuring a ceasefire in Ukraine with the help of the US "air shield". This was reported by the British newspaper The Financial Times (FT).
"What is currently being discussed is the creation of a de facto ceasefire through the American air shield. The Europeans will contribute partly through naval support," the publication's columnist Gideon Rachman clarified.
The US "air shield" is expected to strengthen Ukraine's air defense and close the skies to drones.
According to the article, the West is also discussing the deployment of aircraft carriers, probably from Europe.
On September 4, the head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that the parliaments of European countries should legally enshrine security guarantees for Ukraine. According to him, Ukraine does not want and does not accept a repeat of the Budapest Memorandum or the Minsk Agreements.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted at the Eastern Economic Forum that the number of those in the world who understand the reasons for the start of a special military operation in Ukraine is growing. Many countries had previously understood the prerequisites for conducting a special military operation, he added.
Earlier, a Kremlin spokesman said that the interests of Russia and the United States coincide if American President Donald Trump can help resolve the conflict in Ukraine through diplomacy. According to Peskov, Russia is seeking to achieve a settlement of the Ukrainian conflict by peaceful means. However, this cannot be done in the context of a special operation, so the SVO will continue, the press secretary of the Russian president emphasized.
