Bloomberg reports that a recent U.S. intelligence assessment found that Iran is still producing around 50 ballistic missiles per month, despite months of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.
This is half of what Iran was able to produce pre-war, and contradicts U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth's recent claims that 80% of Iran’s industrial base has been destroyed. Iran also still has a separate stockpile of components that can be used to assemble additional ballistic missiles.
This comes as the IRGC unveiled a new underground "missile city", containing new cruise missile variants, hypersonic ballistic missiles, and other related equipment.

Ukrainian long-range drones attacked the Ust-Luga Port in Leningrad Oblast tonight, resulting in multiple large fires breaking out.
During this large-scale Ukrainian drone attack on the Ust-Luga Port in Leningrad Oblast, drone alerts were issued for parts of Latvia and Lithuania following reports of drones entering Baltic airspace from Belarus.
This almost always happens when Ukraine attacks Russian ports in Leningrad Oblast, and is presumably caused by Ukrainian drones using NATO airspace to evade Russian air defence.

Overnight, Russia carried out another large-scale attack on energy infrastructure in the city of Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, using at least 16 Geran-2 drones.
Both the "Pivdenna" and "Hirnycha" 330 kV electrical substations on the southern outskirts of Kryvyi Rih were hit by multiple drones, while several others targeted various 154 kV substations in the northern suburbs of the city.
Large power flashes were seen, and power outages occurred following the strikes.

During the night, Ukraine carried out another unsuccessful attack on Russia using a group of FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles.
At least four Flamingo cruise missiles were launched from Kharkiv Oblast, and followed similar routes as previous attacks. For most of their flight duration, they flew at low altitude over rivers to try complicate detection by Russian radars, which is necessary for such a large and slow-flying missile.
Nevertheless, throughout their flight duration, each missile was shot down one by one by Russian air defence, until the last one was intercepted somewhere near the border of the Udmurt Republic and the Republic of Tatarstan - around 1,200 km from Ukrainian border.

New high-resolution satellite imagery reveals that Russia has begun constructing new storage facilities for Geran-2 drones and Geran-4 jet-drones at Hvardiiske Airbase in Crimea.
Approximately 82 of these shelters are being built, 10 of which are being reinforced with earthworks.
Ukrainian drones are repeatedly attempting to attack this launch site, resulting in some damage to a few drone shelters, although most of these attacks have apparently been unsuccessful.
