I'm just trying to clarify some information regarding recent Russian rocket failure(s). I'm not sure if 'failure' should be plural or not:

A Soyuz booster carrying a Progress supply ship failed to reach orbit, from http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=24072. Obviously bad news as the Soyuz booster is needed to get a manned Soyuz spacecraft to ISS.

Was there a Proton or another Russian rocket failure as well? The last Proton I am aware of went up in July, successfully as I recall.
 
Yup, there was a second (Proton) failure in mid-August

You have forgotten (or maybe missed) this failure.

We have dedicated threads for these accidents:
 
That's it. I kept overlooking the thread - I was focused on "(FAILURE)". Thanks!
