Mass attack is targeted to OSIN users covering Russia & Russian movements near Ukraine.[0]

Addition: some OSINT users censored on Twitter in Germany, due to Nitter's dev reply to me.[1,2]

As result tweets not visible on Nitter's instances hosted in Germany as well.[3]

UPDATE: Multiple OSINT accounts that were locked received the notification from Twitter at the same time..[4]

Looks like they're back. Twitter told this person their lock was "an error",

BBC's Moscow correspondent is in the replies -- maybe we'll see some reporting about this incident. Actually looks like quite a few journalists picked up on this story under the #osint tag...
