A poisonous cloud is hanging over Berlin after a chemical factory blaze, with firefighters warning deadly hydrogen cyanide could develop.
People were warned to close all windows, stay inside and switch off ventilation units after the fire hit the firm that makes weapons supplied to Ukraine.
The blaze is at Diehl Metal Applications in Berlin's Lichterfelde district, which is a sister company to the Diehl Defence concern, manufacturer of the deadly IRIS-T missiles.
It appears the protests in US in support of Palestine have made the Resistance more courageous.

Western-led Farsi speaking media starting with BBC Persian have began maneuvering on Mahsa Amini protests once again by releasing a "secret" and "remade for sake of keeping anonymity of the leaker" document claiming Nika Shakarami were r*ped and killed by Iran's security forces.
Definitely an attempt to cause unrest in Iran. So be aware of that.
Anyway, I'm not aware what happened to her. Here is the Iranian media narrative in Farsi.

"If Israel attempts to use the threat of attacking nuclear facilities to put pressure on Iran, a revision of the nuclear doctrine and a departure from the previously announced considerations is likely," stated the commander.
Haghtalab highlighted Israel's history of sabotage and terrorist acts against Iran's nuclear industry alongside its ongoing threats.
"Although according to international protocols and standards and the regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency, all countries are advised to refrain from attacking nuclear facilities, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been prepared to confront these threats from the beginning," he asserted.
Referring to the recent criminal act of the Zionist regime in attacking the consular section of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Syria, which violated all international laws and regulations, General Haqtalab stated that it was not expected that the regime would again make the futile attempt to threaten an attack on our country's nuclear facilities. “By the grace of God…, we are prepared to confront any threat from the Zionist regime,” he added.
“The nuclear facilities of the Zionist enemy have been identified, and we have the necessary information about all the targets, and in other words, our fingers are on the trigger of powerful missiles to destroy the specified targets in response to their possible action,” General Haqtalab noted, emphasizing the full readiness of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
He stressed that if the Zionist regime took action against Iranian nuclear facilities, it would certainly face a reaction, and in retaliation, the nuclear facilities of the regime would be targeted and attacked with advanced weapons.
“If the fake Zionist regime wants to use the threat of attacking our country's nuclear facilities as an instrumental means to put pressure on Iran, a revision of the nuclear doctrine and policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran and a departure from the previously announced considerations is likely and conceivable,” he said.
Emphasizing that the era of "hit and run" is over, as stated by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, General Haqtalab said, “If the Zionist regime commits an act of aggression against Iran, the type of response will be with the prudence of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they can be sure that the blow they receive will be recorded in history like the ‘True Promise’ operation”.
Concluding, Haqtalab reassured the Iranian people of the safeguarding measures in place, asserting the complete security of Iran's nuclear facilities under the protection of its armed forces.
Which country?
An article published on ISNA in Farsi quotes a official saying:
- First 70 fighters and then with addition of fighters from Cyprus, 103 fighters
- 15 signal jamming aircrafts
- Their own AWACS plus AWACS from UAE and KSA
- 6 ships in Red Sea plus the six-layered anti-missile systems in KSA and UAE
- All missile defense capabilities of Israel
... were used to intercept the Iranian and the Resistance's drones and missiles.
He then said:
- Our intelligence reports had shown that Pentagon had accepted to lead the defense entirely
- CENTCOM had designated 8 regions for their missile defense plan; Caucasus, Zagros, Turkiye, Persian Gulf, Red Sea and Mediterranean.
- The Qatars advanced air defense systems were made fully available to them
- 10 countries were working against us
- The enemy had an advantage; they had became familiar with the Resistance's missile and drone systems during the al-Aqsa Flood operation, they knew all the weaknesses. But we weren't familiar with their advanced missile defense capabilities.
- At first we were planning to strike six political, economical and military targets but at end we decided to only strike military targets because we just wanted to punish them.
- OpSec didn't let the enemy know our main goal.
- Way less drones were used than what media claims; drones which took 7 hours to reach their target. These drones triggered 5 of 8 regions that enemy had designated; 80 percent of which were engaged in east Jordan. The drones were 100% successful because non of them were sent to demolish anything but to force the Iron Dome and David's Sling to engage them.
- After drones we launched missiles, 12 hypersonic missiles all of which hit their targets by the will of God.
- Khaibar Shekan ballistic missile were used.
- Cluster missiles challenged the second layer of the enemies air defense; each piece had to be engaged separately.
- Other missiles had success rate of 75%.
- We made sure the targets were hit by observing the satellites imagery, the cameras installed on the missiles and the local sources.
- Only Israel were supposed to be punished in this operation but other countries that joined it got punished.
- It shows the decency, dignity, humanity and greatness of our nation that we didn't target the Zionists' buildings.

Theory: US and Israel are pushing the "we intercepted 99% of Iranian drones and missiles" narative to trick Iran into thinking it's over but in reality they are preparing for striking Iran right after a major assassination on Irans' soil to get back at that ship Iran seized and the strikes that followed.
Ig its a response to US intercepting drones and missiles.
The videos of impacts in Israel cured my depression.
