Kyiv's Mayor reports that part of the metro infrastructure on the "South" Bridge in Kyiv was damaged in Russia's overnight missile attack on the city.

This was probably caused by one of the cluster munition strikes on the CHP-5 Combined Heat and Power Plant, which is located right next to this bridge.

The New York Times reports that the U.S. and Israel have drawn up new strike plans for a renewed bombing campaign against Iran.

The targets of such strikes would reportedly likely include energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and Iran's missile and drone arsenal, aimed at "pushing Iran's economic over the brink" to force them to make concessions in negotiations.

This comes as U.S. and Israeli fighter jets have been conducting repeated simulated launch maneuvers towards Iran over Iraq, with the Iranian Air Force scrambling it's own fighter jets for patrols and training exercises. Iran has also been carrying out daily ballistic missile tests at multiple different launch sites, and has also been seen test-launching surface-to-air missiles.

The "Epicentr" Shopping Centre in Uman, Cherkasy Oblast, that was hit by multiple different Russian Geran-4/5 jet-drones yesterday, has been completely destroyed.

This drone was likely conducting a damage assessment. It repeatedly flew over the impact sites in eastern, southern, and northwestern Kyiv.

It was not shot down, and after conducting several maneuvers and loops around the city, flew east back to Chernihiv Oblast.

Usually Russia uses a Geran-4 jet-drone for this, so it's unclear why they are using a slower and more vulnerable Geran-2 this time. Perhaps they were baiting air defence at the same time.

Zelensky claims that Russia launched 21 missiles towards Kyiv last night (very close to my earlier report from 6 hours ago of 22 missiles), and did not mention any interceptions.

Russia has begun using a new cruise missile to attack Ukraine, known as the "Filin" cruise missile.

This new ground-launched missile has a maximum speed of up to 800 km/h, a maximum altitude of 6 km, and a flight range of 600-1200 km. It is 3.5 metres in length and has a wingspan of 3 metres.

It's warhead weighs either 50 or 100 kg, and can be equipped with fragmentation-high-explosive, penetrating, and thermobaric warheads.

This was likely that missile that was mixed up with Geran-5 jet-drones on October 16, that I reported as flying at speeds of 700-800 km/h towards western Ukraine.

The Russian Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding last night's combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.

In Kyiv City, the MoD claims to have struck the following:

- The Antonov Aircraft Plant, which they allege is involved in the production of mid-to-long-range drones, FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles, FP-7 ballistic missiles, and FP-9 ballistic missiles.

- A warehouse facility used to produce mid-to-long-range drones, as well as "Hornet" loitering munitions.

- An industrial enterprise used to produce mid-to-long-range drones and components for ground robotic complexes.

- A warehouse used to store drones and rocket boosters for them.

- The "Southern" auto-railway bridge in Kyiv, which they say is used to transport military cargo by road and rail.

Additionally, in Odesa Oblast, the MoD claims to have targeted the port of Kiliya, which they say is used to unload and store military equipment supplied to Ukraine from Western countries. They also claim to have struck a dry cargo ship in the western Black Sea that was travelling to Chornomorsk Port in Odesa Oblast.
