Looking north from Vinohrady. Smoke columns over Holešovice and the airport. Wind is from the south-east. The fires are not police priorities.
Six confirmed dead at the gate. Three of them in riot gear. The interior of the holding block is still active.
Pankrác main gate, 02:14. Two officers down at the foot of the steps. Small-arms fire from inside the building. The four men are inside.
Four men, ground floor of the magistrate court annex on Spálená. Same four as the leaked photograph. They were not stopped by the cordon.
Wenceslas Square, 00:15. The chants started in Czech and switched to Russian an hour ago. Three vehicles burning at the lower end. Police are not pushing the crowd back.
Pankrác. Riot units have been moved up to the outer perimeter. Czech police won't comment on what they're expecting. The crowd at the south gate is two hundred and growing.
Twenty-storey block in Letná evacuated by Czech police at 11:40. CCTV across the street picked up the same balcony-rail device that started the Prague 7 fire on 1 June. The registered owner of the block has filings in the 2022 Ryker brief.
The informant's intel is tearing the network apart. They can't touch the offshore cash, but they are systematically severing the access points. The laundering channels are burning. Ryker is losing his grip on the infrastructure.
