Intra-day — 25–26 October 2026

Reporter leads unexplained so far

1. RWI-SITREP-008-L1Sustained fire near Khiam, southern Lebanon

   Where / when25 Oct, 09:45–11:25 UTC (12:45–14:25 local); 33.338–33.344N, 35.623–35.629E; four VIIRS passes, 6–10.5 MW

   Whythe same spot burned for at least 1 h 40 min on open slope above the valley, outside the built-up area. No dated report for that place and time; Israeli strikes and demolitions in the south are frequent, so this may be one that went unreported in English-language media.

   Would settle itLebanese NNA or local reports of shelling, a strike or a large brush fire near Khiam on the morning of 25 Oct; next clear Sentinel-2 pass for a burn scar.

2. RWI-SITREP-008-L2Two night detections west of Yevpatoria, Crimea (carried over from SITREP 006)

   Where / when24 Oct 23:46 UTC (45.154N 33.254E, 2.5 MW) and 25 Oct 00:05 UTC (45.201N 33.270E, 0.8 MW), about 5 km apart

   Whynight-time heat on the coast and in farmland the night after drones hit Crimea's power grid (23–24 Oct); still no dated report for that area.

   Would settle itUkrainian or Russian claims of strikes near Yevpatoria / Saky for the night of 24–25 Oct; next clear optical pass.

3. RWI-SITREP-008-L3What was hit before Sevastopol's rolling outages

   Where / whenOutages announced for 12:00 local, 25 Oct; attack time and target not stated

   Whythe governor announced rolling outages after a Ukrainian attack but did not say what was struck or when. Our night lights for 24 Oct were near normal, so the damage is either after that pass or did not cut city-wide lighting.

   Would settle itthe target and time of the attack; our night-lights read for the night of 25 Oct (data ~26 Oct) will show whether lighting dropped.
