Satellite Imagery Documents Widespread Destruction Along Southern Lebanon Border

PlanetScope imagery analyzed by Bellingcat shows that at least 46 of 54 towns within the IDF’s Yellow Line in southern Lebanon have been heavily damaged or destroyed over roughly the first two months of the US-Israeli war against Iran, with much of the destruction occurring in recent weeks. The images indicate demolitions carried out with explosives or heavy equipment, affecting border towns such as Naqoura and Kfar Kila, and reflect ongoing damage amid a fragile ceasefire.

New Videos Trace Two-Phase Strike on Minab IRGC Base and School

Bellingcat geolocated two new videos showing two separate missile strikes on an IRGC base in Minab and an adjacent school, suggesting two waves of attacks. The first wave appears to have hit near the school (which Iranian media says killed at least 175 people, including children), while the second wave hit an IRGC clinic and two additional buildings within the compound. Solar/shadow analysis implies a time gap of about an hour between the two strikes, and the reporting aligns with earlier accounts that a US Tomahawk strike occurred on Feb. 28; investigations remain ongoing.

Footage points to U.S. strike near Iran school

New footage analyzed by Bellingcat suggests a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile struck a compound near an Iranian school in Minab, supporting claims of U.S. responsibility for the Feb. 28 blast that killed about 165 people; U.S. officials have acknowledged Tomahawk use, and Trump has blamed Iran, though no independent on-site investigation has been conducted.

"Unraveling the Trinidad & Tobago National Emergency Oil Spill Mystery"

A mystery vessel leaking oil and running aground off the coast of Tobago has caused a national emergency in Trinidad and Tobago. Despite being identified as the "Gulfstream," the vessel lacks an International Maritime Organization (IMO) registration number, leading to speculation that it is an unpowered barge. Research by Bellingcat suggests that the vessel is part of an articulated tug and barge system and may have been involved in transporting sanctioned oil from Venezuela. The vessel's lack of AIS signals and its poor maintenance raise concerns about its involvement in a potential environmental disaster. Efforts to clean up the extensive oil spill continue, while the vessel's owners remain elusive.

Bulgarian Journalist Christo Grozev Ordered Arrested by Moscow Court in Absentia

A Moscow court has ordered the arrest of Christo Grozev, a top investigative journalist with Bellingcat, who is accused of illegally crossing the Russian border. Grozev, who is not in Russia and looks set to be tried in absentia, has played key roles in a number of Bellingcat’s most explosive investigations, including those into the 2018 poisoning of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and the 2020 poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. Grozev was placed on Russia’s Interior Ministry’s wanted list in December last year.

Discord Assists in Investigation of Classified Material Breach.

Discord is cooperating with US law enforcement's investigation into a leak of secret US documents that were first traced to the communications platform by open-source investigative site Bellingcat. The documents, which carry markings suggesting that they are highly classified, have led to a string of stories about the war in Ukraine, protests in Israel and how the US surveils friend and foe alike. The source of the documents is not publicly known.
