The Russian Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding their overnight combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.

They claim to have struck military-industrial enterprises in Kyiv, involved in the production of components, warheads, and solid-propellant boosters for FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles; and components for "Khrushch" and "Gaarpia" interceptor drones and other strike UAVs.

Additionally, they claim to have struck workshops at the metallurgical plant in Kryvyi Rih involved in producing rolled steel used in the production of military equipment.

Furthermore, they announced targeting the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery, which reportedly stores fuel and lubricants for the Ukrainian military, as well as a cargo ship anchored at Odesa Port allegedly transporting equipment for the Ukrainian military.

They're trying to get my account banned by mass-botting my posts.

Now look - I don't know if its Pro-Ukrainians or Pro-Russians. But I can almost guarantee you its not actual Ukrainians or actual Russians lol.

I must say, the difference between Russians/Ukrainians and Pro-Russian/Pro-Ukrainian westerner larpers is insane. Actual Russians and Ukrainians have almost always been very respectful towards me, even if we dont agree on everything.

I 100% agree. They are so much more detached from reality in general.

Mid-range drones of the Ukrainian Navy struck a (claimed) launch position of a Russian K-300P Bastion-P missile complex in Crimea, which is used to launch Oniks supersonic cruise missiles and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles.

Russian Geran-2/4 drones struck multiple more valuable rear Ukrainian targets, including a (claimed) warehouse containing military equipment near Odesa; a (claimed) quadcopter depot in the village of Havrylivka, Kharkiv Oblast; and a (claimed) ammunition depot in the town of Novomykolaivka, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Ukrainian drones struck the "Kamensky Combine" in Rostov Oblast, which is reportedly used to produce solid rocket fuel for rockets of the Urugan, Smerch, and Tornado-S systems.

NASA FIRMS data confirmed that a large fire broke out at the facility following the strikes.

At least 5 civilians were killed in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky as a result of the Ukrainian drone atack on the "Kamensky Combine" facility.

Based on Russian Ministry of Defence claims of shooting down over 150 Ukrainian drones, this would be the largest attack on Rostov Oblast since the beginning of the war.

A few minutes ago, a Russian Su-57/30 aircraft flying near Rylsk, Kursk Oblast, attempted to shoot down a Ukrainian tactical aircraft flying near Voronizh, Sumy Oblast, with an R-37/77 air-to-air missile.

A Su-57, Su-30, and Su-35 continue to circle near Kurchatov and Zheleznogorsk, northern Kursk Oblast.

Update: They flew away, back to their home airbases.

During last night's combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine, Russia launched a record number of jet-drones in proportion to the total number of drone launches.

Out of 106+ drones launched, at least 70 of them were Geran-4/5 jet-drones - over 66% of total launches, while the rest were ordinary Geran-2/Gerbera drones.

A Russian Geran-4 jet-drone struck another "Epicentr" shopping centre, this time in Odesa, resulting in a large fire breaking out. Additional drones are detected over Odesa right now.

Russia has been repeatedly striking Epicentr shopping centres in recent weeks, targeting their facilities in Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv Oblast, Kryvyi Rih, and Sumy. This comes as Ukrainian drones attack Russian "Wildberries" warehouses across Russia, and a "Galaktika" Shopping Centre in Yenakijeve, Russian-controlled Donetsk Oblast.

At least 6 more drones are flying to/over Odesa, including 3 Geran-4 jet-drones.

Explosions in Odesa. Likely impacting the Odesa Port.

Ukrainian MiG-29(s) are flying over Odesa right now.

The IDF claims to have killed Abu Hassan Ala'a - a senior commander in Hezbollah's "Badr Unit" - which is responsible for defending the eastern sector of southern Lebanon and the southern part of the Beqaa Valley, in a targeted airstrike.

Abu Hassan Ala'a allegedly served as a drone operator, launching FPV drones towards Israeli forces in southern Lebanon during the active phase of the Israeli invasion. He also reportedly commanded several combat sectors in recent years.

The IDF says that the targeted assassination strike came in response to an alleged Hezbollah operation against Israeli forces within the so-called "security zone" in southern Lebanon. They did not specify any details about this supposed Hezbollah attack, and did not state when it happened.
