For the next hour, there is an increased threat of ground-launched missile strikes against Ukraine.

Russia may launch up to 30 Iskander-M and RM-48U modified S-400 ballistic missiles; as well as Zircon hypersonic and Oniks-M supersonic cruise missiles. Up to 10 Kn-23 ballistic missiles could also be launched alongside this.

Additionally, there is a possibility of 8-24 Kalibr cruise missiles being launched from either the Black Sea (Novorossiysk Naval base) or the Caspian Sea (Kaspiysk Naval Base) during this period, although they may be timed to enter Ukrainian airspace alongside the Kh-101 cruise missiles.

7 Tu-95MS strategic bombers are now confirmed to be airborne from Olenya Airbase, alongside the 5 Tu-160Ms from Ukrainka Airbase.

It's likely that the number of Tu-95s airborne is closer to 10, but so far only 7 have been confirmed.

Currently detected in Ukrainian airspace:

~20 Geran-2/Gerbera drones
~10 Geran-4 jet-drones
~4-5 Geran-5 jet-drones

In the last hour and a half, explosions have been heard in the following locations from Russian Geran-2/4/5 drones:

- Northeastern outskirts of Kyiv (CHP-6 power plant)
- Vinnytsia City
- Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia Oblast (thermal power plant)
- Chudniv, Zhytomyr Oblast
- Poltava City

Russian glide-bomb strikes on a humanitarian aid point at a school in the town of Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, killed at least 26 civilians and injured 5 others. Two rescuers and four police officers were among the dead.

The attack was reportedly carried using nine KAB-3000 glide-bombs in a double-tap attack.

All 10 Tu-95MS are airborne in the bomber group.

The usage of nine (!) 3-ton munitions explains the low number of injuries compared to killed (5 vs 26).

Most of the people were probably just torn into molecules.

Azov Corps Commander Denys Prokopenko on the situation near Kyiv, where Azov personnel allegedly held over a dozen newly mobilised men hostage:

"What is happening in the information space around the topic of events in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka satisfies all the requests of the Russians."

(...)

"Our state is waging a tough, bloody war for its existence. In this situation, we need to either defend the country on the front lines or help the front from the rear, rather than staging provocations and playing into the enemy's hands."

The Wall Street Journal confirmed earlier reports that the U.S. carried out small-scale airstrikes on Qeshm Island tonight, reportedly in a "defensive" manner to limit Iran's freedom to strike shipping in the region.
