These recent Ukrainian mid-range drone strikes on energy infrastructure has revealed some of Russia's reconstruction progress in former frontline areas of Ukraine.

Interestingly, one of the substations hit was in the village of Hrakove, Kharkiv Oblast, which would indicate that at some point Russia restored electricity supply to parts of the small corner of Kharkiv Oblast it still controls and retained after the 2022 Ukrainian counteroffensive. To my knowledge, this is the first ever visually confirmed Ukrainian FP-2 mid-range drone strike on energy infrastructure in Russian-controlled Kharkiv Oblast.

Another substation in the village of Volodymyrivka, Luhansk Oblast, near the border with Kharkiv Oblast, was also hit. Volodymyrivka was directly on the frontline up until 2024, when Russian forces initiated offensive operations to reach the Oskil River south of Kupyansk. As of now, it is around 12.5 km from the frontline.

Additionally, the main substation supplying the city of Selydove, Donetsk Oblast, was hit. Selydove is the only city post-2022 that was captured without it being destroyed, and represents a small pocket of life in the flattened wastelands of Donbas due to its relatively short and not particularly intense battle. Considering that schools were re-opened in the city several months after its capture, it's not surprising that electricity has been restored as well.

The missile was shot down by a Patriot system.

Following today's large-scale Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, Russia has now launched over 100 Geran-2 drones and a few Geran-5 jet-drones at western Ukraine.

Repeated launches of Geran-2/4 drones are expected to continue for the coming hours.

Explosions have already been heard in/near Zlazne and Sarny (Rivne Oblast). Up to 100 more drones are detected in Ukrainian airspace right now, with the first ones entering Ternopil and Rivne Oblasts. Ukrainian air defence is doing its best to shoot down as many as possible before they reach the western regions of Ukraine.

Approximate flight routes of the missiles launched in tonight's combined missile attack on Kyiv.

The following was launched:

~6 Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from near Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast.

~4 RM-48U modified S-400 ballistic missiles launched from near Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast.

~4 Kn-23 ballistic missiles launched from near Liski, Voronezh Oblast, and near Fatezh, Kursk Oblast.

~4 Oniks-M supersonic cruise missiles launched from near Zheleznogorsk, Kursk Oblast.

~2 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles launched from near Millerovo, Rostov Oblast.

As of the time of writing, a *minimum* of 2 Oniks-Ms, 1 Iskander-M, and 2 RM-48U S-400s were shot down by Ukrainian air defence.

Note: these numbers may be adjusted in the coming hours as new information comes in. They are only early estimations.
