1. This is a separate incident from the Russian propagandist?

There was an earlier report of a Russian propagandist who posted 'selfies' with the orcs. Ukraine forces blew their shit up.

I'm hoping the OP is a different one -- orcs need blowing up.

5. Yes, this is a different one.

Sergei Sreda, a Russian propagandist, posted photos online of his visit to a Wagner Group base in Donbas. One small problem though: he forgot to cover the street signs. A simple geolocating later and HIMARS missiles were sent. The result? Upwards of 100 mercenaries blown to smithereens. Sreda later deleted the post of his "visit" to the Wagner military headquarters.

Sergei was saluted as a Darwin Award winner on Twitter.

Smiling alongside mercenaries in full combat gear, this is how Russian war propagandist Sergei Sreda marked a visit to Wagner's Ukraine headquarters last week - saying they welcomed him 'like family' and told 'funny stories'.

4. As I read it . . .

. . . the Russians occupied a building that had been occupied by the Ukrainian Security Services, thereby giving the Ukrainians the exact location.

8. Photos you take on your cell phone have a stamp with the exact GPS location the

photo was taken. Once the photo was made public, they got the GPS location off the photo and were able to easily do a precession hit.
