It appears that for the first time in a long time, Ukraine has completely ran out of Patriot PAC-2/3 interceptor missiles.

During the last two ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv, not a single missile was shot down. The last successful interceptions took place on July 2, where 4 Iskander-M ballistic missiles were shot down. During that attack, significant number of Patriot interceptors were wasted on intercepting Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, which are much harder to shoot down than Iskanders. In the end, not a single Zircon was shot down.

The last recorded launch of Patriot interceptors in Kyiv was during the attack on July 6, where multiple Patriot interceptors failed in flight, and not a single Iskander-M was shot down. Some Patriot PAC-2 interceptors were used to shoot down Kh-101 cruise missiles.

During last night's attack and the attack on July 8, not a single Patriot launch was observed. Additionally, once again, most radars failed to detect the incoming missiles, resulting in the sirens sounding AFTER the impacts. This occurred during the attack on July 8 as well.

Due to Kyiv being likely completely out of Patriot PAC-2/3 interceptor missiles, there is a high threat of Russia launching another Iskander-M ballistic missile attack on Kyiv in the coming days before new interceptors arrive, in order to guarantee a 100% impact rate on the targets they wish to hit.

Ukraine's unmanned systems forces claims that 34 more Russian vessels, including oil tankers, were hit by drones at night.

This brings the claimed total for the last 6 days to 82. Most of these (not including today's 34) have been visually confirmed, but not all.

The commander of the unmanned systems forces Robert Magyar stated that a video of these strikes will be released soon.

They have just edited today's number down to 28.

The Russian MOD claims that last night's Iskander-M ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv targeted enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex involved in the production and storage of medium and long-range drones.

The Russian Ministry of Defence claims that last night's Kh-59/69 cruise missile strikes on Odesa Oblast targeted port infrastructure used for the delivery and storage of military cargo and fuel.

NASA FIRMS data, which shows large fires burning at an oil depot, confirms this. Geran-2 drones were also involved in this attack.

They also claimed that similar targets were struck at the Izmail Port in Odesa Oblast, which was attacked by at least 5 Geran-2 drones.

Additionally, not mentioned in their statement, was a large-scale Geran-2 drone attack on an unknown target near the city of Tatarbunary, Odesa Oblast. At least 18 Geran-2 drones were involved in this attack.

The Ukrainian Air Force confirms that out of 6 Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched towards Kyiv, not a single one was shot down.

Dobropillia salient.

In general, the situation remains stable but difficult.
Russian targets are very numerous, mostly concentrated near and east of Sofiivka.

This is due to the fact that 2 weeks ago 5 new fresh tank units (not sure on their echelon) with >85% personnel were transferred near Sofiivka and the fields east, significantly reinforcing their grouping in this sector.

It seems like the Russians are trying to create conditions for a large scale assault on Dobropillia in the near future, solidifying their flanks, and at the same time pressure Druzhkivka (and as such Kostyantynivka itself indirectly).

At the moment, the situation is under control, but could worsen at any moment, and this (sensitive) area should be closely monitored for any negative developments.
