Large power flashes at the Ladyzhyn Thermal Power Plant in Vinnytsia Oblast following 4 Russian Zircon hypersonic cruise missile impacts.

❗️Russia has launched a massive combined missile and drone attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure using dozens of ground-launched missiles.

The following has been launched so far:

~17 Iskander-M ballistic missiles
~6 Kn-23 ballistic missiles
~4 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles
~2 Oniks-M supersonic cruise missiles

~29 missiles in total.

None of the missiles were shot down by Ukrainian air defence. All ~29 missiles impacted their targets.

Missiles have struck the following locations:

- Ladyzhyn Thermal Power Plant in Vinnytsia Oblast
- Prydniprovska Thermal Power Plant in Dnipro
- TEC-5 Thermal Power Plant in Kharkiv
- Zmiivska Thermal Power Plant in Kharkiv Oblast
- Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant in Cherkasy Oblast
- Kryvyi Rih Thermal Power Plant in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

Additionally, 5 Tu-160M and 10 Tu-95MS strategic bombers are airborne, launching up to 70 Kh-101 cruise missiles towards Ukraine. The first of these are expected to enter Ukrainian airspace in the next 70 minutes. There may also be 8-24 Kalibr cruise missiles launched from either the Black Sea or the Caspian Sea in the coming hours.

This attack was preluded by a massive 72-hour-long Geran attack, which involved over 2,000 Geran-2 drones and Geran-4/5 jet-drones, targeting energy and railway infrastructure, and exhausting Ukrainian air defence capabilities.

The approximate missile flight routes so far are shown on the attached map.

Zaporizhzhia City is under attack from Russian KAB glide-bombs.

At least two impacts in the southern suburbs so far. More KABs are incoming.

In addition to these missiles, at least 6 KAB glide-bombs launched by 2 Su-34s struck the TEC-5 Thermal Power Plant in Kharkiv City.

Missile of an unidentified type to Kharkiv

Edit: disappeared

2 more KAB glide-bomb strikes on the southern suburbs of Zaporizhzhia.

The IRGC released footage showing the interception of a U.S. MQ-9 "Reaper" drone over the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz.

The first groups of Kh-101 cruise missiles are expected to enter Ukrainian airspace in the next hour.

Emergency power outages have been implemented across all of Cherkasy Oblast following the impact of two Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles at the Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant.

4 more KAB glide-bombs impacted just southeast of Zaporizhzhia City

The Su-34s have flown away from their launch lines.

Widespread power outages are reported across Vinnytsia Oblast, including Vinnytsia City, following 4 Russian Zircon hypersonic cruise missile strikes on the Ladyzhyn Thermal Power Plant.

The power plant was also struck by multiple Geran-4 jet-drones.

CNN reports that the Iranian surface-to-air missile launcher destroyed in U.S. airstrikes on Qeshm Island today attempted to shoot down a U.S. fighter jet over the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. government has purposefully "kept the attack under wraps" to avoid overstating the strikes, said one source to CNN.

The first 2-3 Russian Tu-160M strategic have launched 24-36 Kh-101 cruise missiles from Orenburg Oblast. In total, between 50 and 60 Kh-101s are expected to be launched from the 5 Tu-160s airborne. They should enter Ukrainian airspace in around 2 hours.

The separate Kh-101s launched by ~6 out of 10 Tu-95MS strategic bombers over Vologda Oblast are expected to enter Ukrainian airspace in the next 50-60 minutes.

As I stated yesterday, these missiles will likely target energy infrastructure in western Ukraine, especially in Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Chernivtsi Oblasts.

Locations of the 6 different power plants hit by Russian missiles so far tonight:

The Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant in Kaniv, Cherkasy Oblast, was struck by ~2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles.

The Zmiivska Thermal Power Plant in Slobozhanske, Kharkiv Oblast, was struck by ~5 Iskander-M ballistic missiles.

The TEC-5 Thermal Power Plant in Kharkiv City was struck by ~4 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and ~6 KAB glide-bombs.

The Prydniprovska Thermal Power Plant in Dnipro was struck by as many as 6 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 4 Kn-23 ballistic missiles.

The Kryvyi Rih Thermal Power Plant in Zelenodolsk, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, was struck by ~2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles.

The Ladyzhyn Thermal Power Plant in Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia Oblast, was struck by ~4 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles.

These power plants + additional ones in western Ukraine are expected to be targeted by up to 70 Russian Kh-101 cruise missiles over the next 2 hours.

3 Su-57s over Kursk Oblast.

Possible launches of Kh-59/69 cruise missiles to Sumy/Kharkiv Oblast

A group of Russian Kh-59/69 cruise missiles is entering Kharkiv Oblast.

The Kh-59/69 cruise missiles are flying further southwest towards Poltava Oblast

Another group of cruise missiles follows behind - possibly Kh-101s.

These are likely both groups of Kh-101 cruise missiles

Two other groups of Kh-101 cruise missiles are entering Dnipropetrovsk Oblast from the southeast, flying towards Kryvyi Rih
