Chernihiv City is now under attack from Geran-2 drones. At least 2 impacts so far.

A large fire is burning in Chernihiv City following the Iskander-M impacts, with secondary detonations reported.

Explosion in Kharkiv. Tornado-S/Iskander-M impacted southwest of the city.

Iskander launch from Bryansk

No missiles are detected. A threat remains

The 4 Tu-22m3 strategic bombers are now returning north back to Olenya Airbase via Smolensk Oblast.

This whole attack is super weird...

- All 4 Tu-22m3s landed back at Olenya Airbase
- 2-5 Tu-95MS landed back at Olenya Airbase
- 3 Tu-95MS and 3 Tu-160 from the far east have completely disappeared
- Every single MiG-31K launch maneuver has been simulated
- Ukraine's airspace is now clear of Geran-2 drones and no more launches have been recorded.

It honestly seems like the whole attack was suddenly cancelled.

Yeah it looks like it's been completely cancelled. What's odd is that only one strategic frequency was active this whole time.

I remember in 2023 and 2024 there were similar cases like this, but those ones at least had simulated launch maneuvers from the strategic bombers.

I will continue to monitor nonetheless, and will update if anything changes.

Overnight, dozens of Russian Geran-2 drones struck the "Slavutich" 330 kV electrical substation in the city of Slavutych, Kyiv Oblast.

As a result, the entire city was left without power. Backup generators are currently in use as workers being restoration work on the facility.

In the Stepnohirsk direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations northeast of Stepnohirsk and have made additional progress near Lukyanivske.

Russian forces continued advancing east from the solar plant, capturing new positions in the treelines there and reaching Lukyanivske from the south. Infiltrations into the village continued from the west.

Additionally, the Russians continued infiltrating further east through the treelines and began attacking along the gulley in the direction of Novoyakovlivka.

+ ~0.96 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Omelnyk direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations, making new progress in two different areas.

In the northeast, Russian forces continued to advance south of Hulyaipole, where they captured new positions in the treelines and forest northwest of Dorozhnyanka.

In the southwest, after entering Bilohirya from the south and east, the Russians established control over most of the village, and began attacks to the north in the direction of the Ukrainian positions on the tactical heights.

+ ~3.78 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Pokrovs'ke direction, Ukrainian forces have consolidated numerous treelines east of the Haichur River following failed Russian operations.

Over the last month, Ukrainian forces have been incrementally regaining solid control over positions east of the Haichur River. These operations have been conducted in areas where Russian forces did not properly entrench in and only moved through to their forward positions west of the river.

Due to this lack of Russian consolidation, the Ukrainians were able to regain control over the village of Radisne which had previously been in a sort of zone of Russian influence with no permanent presence, and managed to link up with isolated pockets of soldiers in the treelines further east. As a result, a large grey-zone has formed stretching up to 4.5 km wide in some areas, where both sides have overlapping positions in an extremely fluid and dynamic situation.

The establishment of solid positions east of the river by Ukraine has allowed them to increase their overall presence in this grey-zone of mixed positions in recent weeks, significantly complicating Russian logistics to their own bridgeheads west of the Haichur river. Nevertheless, Russian forces continued their operations west of the river, with DRGs still infiltrating the village of Kosivtseve, and for the first time, entering the town of Ternuvate.

+ ~13.70 km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Novopavlivka direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced, each capturing positions in the village of Novopidhorodne.

At some point recently, Ukrainian forces launched counterattacks in northeastern Novopidhorodne, recapturing positions along two residential streets, shrinking the Russian incursion zone.

Since then, the Russians have resumed their attacks through the southern part of the village, capturing new positions along Shevchenka Street. Additionally, under heavy artillery cover, assault operations are being carried out on the central part of the village, as well as along the railway line to the south. DRGs have also penetrated the western streets.

+ ~0.66 km² in favour of Ukraine.
+ ~0.09 km² in favour of Russia.

Explosion in Kharkiv City. Likely a Tornado-S rocket.

Another explosion in Kharkiv

In the Dobropillya direction, Russian forces resumed their assault operations north of Pokrovsk and recaptured previously lost positions there.

Russian forces advanced northwest from the forested areas northwest of Myrnohrad, recapturing the highway intersection. Other forces attacked up the treelines on a wide front north of Pokrovsk, re-establishing control over a large section of the road to Hryshyne and one of the pig farms.

+ ~6.04 km² in favour of Russia.
