Aftermath of an overnight Russian Geran-2/4 drone strike on a petrol station in the town of Korop, Chernihiv Oblast.

The Russian Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding last night's combined missile and drone attack against port infrastructure in Odesa Oblast.

According to them, several missile strikes were carried out on Yuzhnyi Port, targeting five fuel tanks allegedly intended to be used by the Ukrainian military, 10 storage facilities at a logistics terminal reportedly containing military equipment, as well as other port infrastructure claimed to be used for unloading and storing military equipment. They also claimed to have struck an oil tanker docked at Yuzhnyi Port, delivering fuel to the Ukrainian military.

Additionally, the Russian MoD claims to have struck the "Ajalyk-330" 330 kV electrical substation in the village of Mishchanka, which supplies Yuzhnyi Port with power.

Overnight, Ukraine made two more unsuccessful attempts at attacking Russia with FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles.

In both cases, all missiles were shot down by Russian air defences, over Donetsk and Rostov Oblasts. At least 8 missiles were used in total.

During an overnight Ukrainian drone attack, debris from a shot down Ukrainian drone fell on a children's centre in Krasnodar, killing two children and injuring at least seven others.

The governor of Krasnodar Krai confirmed that this was caused by falling debris, rather than a targeted strike.

Smoke is seen rising over the city of Slovyansk, Donetsk Oblast, following multiple Russian KAB glide-bomb strikes a few minutes ago.

Strong explosions were reported, and more KABs are flying in the same direction right now.

Just to be clear, David D is a dementia-ridden boomer who only knows how to repeat the same lines over and over again, while peddling the same lies about me.

I have never raised money by selling Z merch. This is a complete lie purely aimed at discrediting my work, and David knows this. Just like the previous lie he made about me supposedly having a “phone call” with him involving me admitting to being pro Russian.

David doesn’t care about Ukraine or Ukrainians, and ironically is using a map I made showing a Ukrainian counterattack, which pro Russians attacked me for. He is the last person who should be accusing someone of working for a government.

He then finishes off with wishing harm towards me for simply posting about this war in a neutral manner. The same harm that pro Russians wish upon me at the same time.

Keep in mind, this man is over 3 times my age, and has been actively attacking me for over 2 years.

Also, I would’ve thought David of all people would understand wars of attrition, like what we are seeing in Ukraine, considering he is actively stuck in a war of attrition with his chronic obesity.

There is a high threat of a large-scale Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv from August 25 onwards.

There will probably be no attack tonight.

For anyone wondering, the “secret Ukrainian counteroffensive” people are talking about is occurring in the Lyman direction. Specifically north of Lyman.

I don’t have any on-the-ground sources from this sector, and gather all my information here from OSINT, so I’m not too worried about breaking the OPSEC regime put in place by the Ukrainian command.

These counterattacks have been ongoing since late-May, which is when I started reporting on them. They have involved a slow and costly advance aimed at cutting off the Russian bridgehead west of the Nitrius River.

A Russian soldier fighting in the Kostyantynivka direction confirms my information from two weeks ago about the outer suburbs of the city being contested.

He states that Ukrainian forces are being periodically sent to Kostyantynivka from Oleksijevo-Druzhkivka. In my opinion, this is to prolong the battle in the information space for propaganda purposes.

This is why I haven't shifted the northern part of Kostyantynivka from the grey-zone to a Russian-controlled zone, although Russia continues to gradually expand their zone of control here.

There is an increased threat of an attack on Kyiv involving Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles for tonight, specifically between 11:30pm and 2:30am.

This is not a guarantee that an attack will occur, but there is information that could suggest this.
