Repeated explosions.

New missiles in Kherson Oblast

2 Kh-69s are flying past Velyka Oleksandrivka, Kherson Oblast, towards Kropyvntskyi.

2 Kh-69s are flying to Novyi Buh, Mykolaiv Oblast.

Movements are approximate.

Correction: There is only 1 Kh-69 flying. There are 4 Geran-4/5 jet drones in the air too, which were mixed up with cruise missiles.

MiG-31K airborne. Kinzhal launch.

The missiles and drones are targeting Kanatove Airbase.

Explosions in Kropyvntskyi from cruise missile and jet drone impacts to Kanatove Airbase.

Explosion in Kropyvntskyi. Another Kinzhal impact to Kanatove Airbase.

Large-scale Russian missile and drone attack on Kropyvntskyi, Kirovohrad Oblast, right now.

The target is Kanatove Airbase, just outside the city. So far, it has been hit by:

- 2 Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballlistic missiles launched by 2 MiG-31K fighters from Savasleika Airbase.

- 5 Kh-69 cruise missiles launched from Su-34 fighers.

- 4 Geran-4/5 jet drones.

Another 3 Geran-4/5s are now flying to attack the airbase.

Kanatove Airbase is known to have hosted Ukrainian Su-24 and Su-27 aircraft in the past.

Russia seems to be finalising their preparations for their next large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine, which I reported on earlier.

This likely be the "second part" to the most recent attack, as only 3 out of 7 equipped strategic bombers were used. There is strategic aviation activity right now and movements, as well as deliveries of Iskander-M ballistic missiles and possibly Iskander-K cruise missiles to OTRK installations near Ukraine, however the specifics are being clarified. I will make a more in depth post on everything tonight/tomorrow.

In my opinion, based on what I've seen, there is a significant possibility that the attack will take place during tonight and tomorrow morning, but we will see.

Well, already, some of this information has been confirmed.

- 2-3 Tu-95MS strategic bombers are landing at Engels-2 Airbase, Saratov Oblast, after redeploying from Ukrainka Airbase in the far east. They will likely soon fly back north to Olenya which would be their departure point for the attack.

- As many as 4 MiG-31K fighters at Savasleika Airbase have been equipped with Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballsitic missiles. Another 2 may be equipped in the near future.

- 3 surface carriers were equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles at Novorossiysk Naval Base, Krasnodar Krai, some time ago. They have an estimated total salvo of 18 missiles.

- At least 4 Tu-22m3 strategic bombers have been equipped with Kh-22m3 cruise missiles at Dyagilevo Airbase, Ryazan Oblast. Additional Tu-22m3 bombers may have been equipped with missiles at Olenya Airbase, Murmansk Oblast.

- SOME Iskander-M ballistic missiles and possibly Iskander-K cruise missiles have been delivered to OTRK installations in Bryansk Oblast, Rostov Oblast, and possibly Voronezh Oblast. It is unclear if these will be used in this attack, or just for general strikes on separate targets.

- There is also a possibility of 2-4 Tu-160M strategic bombers being used from Ukrainka Airbase in the far east, but there is no reliable information on this right now.

The highest threat is to energy infrastructure in Kyiv City, Kyiv Oblast, and the western regions of Ukraine. If Tu-22m3 bombers are used, Kyiv will almost certainly be hit. Like I said, this is the second part to the last attack.

Knowing this, the most likely time for this attack is tonight and tomorrow morning, but obviously only time will tell.

At least 3 more Geran-4/5 jet drones have impacted Kanatove Airbase. Geran-2 drones are now attacking it, along with another unknown target in Kirovohrad Oblast.

If you currently live in Ukraine or Russia and feel comfortable with getting in contact with me, please DM me. I’m looking to increase the scope of my sourcing and reliability of the information I provide, especially on Russian and Ukrainian attacks.

You will remain anonymous, and in complete control of the information you choose to provide, and how you provide it. I will only publish information that you allow me to, and that doesn’t put anyone from any side at risk. This will be extremely beneficial to my reporting.

My telegram account: @AMK_Mapping1. I also have Signal if you prefer that.

Russian Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseev was targeted in an assassination attempt by an unknown assailant in Moscow.

He was shot several times in the back inside a residential building, and has subsequently been hospitalised. His condition is unknown. The shooter has since fled the scene, and a search is underway.

Alekseev is the first deputy head of the GRU, and the deputy of Igor Kostyukov who leads the Russian negotiating team in the UAE.

I’m fairly confident that the next large-scale, combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine will take place tonight.

I’m gonna get some sleep and will update you all later.

Good morning.

One of Russia’s strategic command and control frequencies has been active for a while.

The two Tu-95MS strategic bombers which redeployed from the far east to Engels-2 Airbase have flown back north to Olenya Airbase. Other movements are unconfirmed right now.

There is no activity on any combat frequencies yet. I will update when more information comes available.

Reports of Kalibr carriers exiting Novorossiysk Naval Base, Krasnodar Krai, are false.

The activity is linked to ongoing training exercises of the Black Sea Fleet in the waters south of Kerch.
