Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has departed for a diplomatic visit to Pakistan, Oman, and Russia.

Iranian state media reports that the purpose of the trip is to hold bilateral consultations and discuss the current development in the Middle East.

Al Jazeera reports that the trip will not involve talks with the U.S., but that Russia "has some ideas to help break the deadlock", while Oman's stronger relations with Iran could be used to restart negotiations.

NASA FIRMS data shows large fires burning in the village of Shchaslyvtseve, Kherson Oblast, following reports of Ukrainian drone strikes on a Russian FSB base in this settlement overnight.

Ukrainian sources claim that five buildings used as accommodation were destroyed, along with other buildings, a warehouse with ammunition, and vehicles.

Current signs continue to point towards the combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine taking place tonight.

As I mentioned before, the highest threat is to Kyiv, Lviv, Kirovohrad Oblast, Cherkasy, and Dnipro. Other areas will be targeted too.

If it does take place tonight, it will probably occur between 11am and 6pm Kyiv time. We will know for certain if the attack will take place within the next 5 hours.

There's a lot of Pro-Russian dooming lately, especially in my comments. I suppose its just that time of year again.

Hezbollah issued two more statements in recent hours regarding operations targeting Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, which they say was in response to Israeli ceasefire violations.

They stated that they targeted another Israeli Humvee vehicle and another unspecified military vehicle in the town of Qanatra, southern Lebanon, with a drone and small-arms fire.

The first groups of Geran-2/Gerbera drones have been launched from Khalino Airbase, Kursk Oblast, and Tsumbulova, Oryol Oblast.

No activity has been recorded on Russian combat frequencies yet, however this if an attack does take place, it wont occur for at least another 90 minutes.

Activity on Russian strategic aviation frequencies has just been recorded. It is unclear if this is a combat frequency, or just communications with strategic command and control in Moscow.

Either way, a combined attack on Ukraine tonight is practically certainly going to take place now.

The activity is on a combat frequency.

Currently, a minimum of 30 Geran-2/Gerbera drones are detected in Ukrainian airspace.

The number of Russian Geran-2/Gerbera drones detected in Ukrainian airspace has increased to ~35.

Two Russian Tu-160M strategic bombers will likely depart from Ukrainka Airbase, Amur Oblast in the next 90 minutes.

The number of Russian Geran-2/Gerbera drones detected in Ukrainian airspace has increased to ~40.

Any reports of Tu-160M strategic bombers departing from Engels-2 Airbase are false. These are being mixed up with Su-34s flying on combat missions.

Reports of Tu-95MS and Tu-22m3 departures from Olenya Airbase are also likely false. Just putting this out there, as there's a lot of fake info circulating right now...
