A thread I've been waiting to open for quite a while, and now with the growing concern over Mark E. Smith, David Thomas cancelling shows, the steady rate of demise in these particular sub geners (in which I include Coldwave, Post/Dance-Punk, Gothic Rock, No Wave, Industrial, etc.) and the altogether senescence (adding to a sometimes unhealty life habits) of some household names - the necessity is growing.

Both sources are not official, but the attached video speaks for itself, 18 killed and 33 wounded makes more sense if you take the size and type of the target in consideration. Anyway, the source they are citing (dosye_shpiona telegram channel) is usually a reliable source when it comes to BDA of Ukrainian strikes.

The number of NK soldiers seems quite exaggerated, all sources I know mentioned 3 wounded foreign officers - which makes more sense judging by the footage that emerged after the strike. https://en.defence-ua.com/news/confirmed_elimination_of_russian_generals_in_maryino_kursk_region_by_storm_shadow_missiles-12609.html
