Anything that is stated like this tweet is confirmed. And if there is something unconfirmed, they put it in quotes. Been following them for a while now and they generally been accurate. Also followed and shared by
illia ponomarenko, the Kyiv Independent war journalist.

Also at this point it's a "bridge too far" from HIMARS, and air attack. YMMV
