This is just a slightly modified version of a beautiful puzzle by Rab3aron called
Fractured Symmetry
A few clues and the given digit were removed, forcing quite a different and definitely harder solving path which leads to a similar solution, as discussed in a thread started by @Rabea_Zreik under this video:
Is this Symmetry Broken? (by Cracking the Cryptic)

Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line have a difference of at least 5.
- Palindromes: Digits along a gray line read the same in both directions.
- Little Killers: A clue outside the grid gives the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal.
- Kropki Dots: Digits in cells joined by a white dot are consecutive.
- Magnetic poles: The blue and red circles must add up to 10.
Solution code: Row 1

I removed another little killer clue, as suggested by a solver on YouTube.
