Explosions were heard in Chernihiv Oblast. I guess they impacted something there.

The Kh-22/32 cruise missiles impacted the "Chernihivska" 330 kV substation, Chernihiv Oblast.

Coordinates: 51.63996, 31.19756

Footage showing Ukrainian air defence shooting down 3 Russian Kh-101 cruise missiles just south of Kyiv.

These missiles were intended to strike energy infrastructure in the city, but were shot down before they could enter the city limits.

Considering the 5 Iskander-M interceptions earlier, this means that for what might be the first time ever, every single Russian missile that attacked Kyiv City was shot down.

-----------------------

The main targets for this strike was Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The following was targeted:

-----------------------

Keep in mind, the numbers of missiles launched may be slightly higher than what I've listed, as the number of missiles detected is sometimes lower than actual launches.

Last night, Russia carried out a combined missile and drone attack on Kharkiv Oblast.

- 2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and at least 20 Geran-2 drones attacked energy infrastructure and other targets in Kharkiv City. The video shows the moment of one of the Iskander-M impacts. Power outages are reported in some districts of the city.

- 2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles impacted a target near the city of Chuhuiv.

Geran-2 drones attacked targets in the following areas:

- Eskhar
- Chuhuiv
- Balakliya
- Pechenihy
- Korotych

Correction on the missile figures:

- 10 Iskander-Ms were used, not 11. 4 targeted Kyiv, not 5, and all 4 were shot down.

- The 2 Iskander-Ks were Kh-69 cruise missiles.

- There were 24 Kh-101s rather than 18. Of these, a minimum of 12 were shot down.

Russian forces have captured the village of Hrafske, Bilyi Kolodyaz direction, Kharkiv Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~329.
Total land area: ~2.01 km².

The fighting for Hfraske lasted approximately 1 month, 10 days.

With Ukraine now having fully lifted it's information embargo on their localised counteroffensive in the Pokrovs'ke and Hulyaipole directions, the geolocations are beginning to flow in.

So, for all my followers who are stuck in 2023 and that believe geolocations are the only way of mapping the frontline situation (of course, only if it works in their side's favour), here is a map representing this:

The yellow line shows what Russian sources generally claim what the frontline looks like, while the blue pins show these new geolocations. As you can see, it fits very well with my map's frontline, which I have been showing for nearly 3 weeks now.

Now of course, geolocations AREN'T everything, and they certainly aren't reliable. Geolocations are supposed to be a confirming factor, as - assuming the video isn't old (which is often easy to determine) - the only thing it proves is PRESENCE. It doesn't prove control, let along consolidation. This goes both ways.

But my point is, the Pro-Russian people who claim that this counteroffensive is a huge fabrication can no longer deny that it took place, and you can see this reflected in some Russian maps already. You can debate the zone of control all you want, but now there is evidence that it has taken place.

Most Pro-Ukrainians have accepted by now that this isn't just me and Suriyak quietly reverting our supposedly fake Russian advances. This is what I meant when I said a few days ago that "The Pro-Russian accounts will also follow this trend in the coming weeks/months, and everyone will just forget about it."

For the first time ever, Russia shelled the city of Kramatorsk with a 152 mm howitzer. The shelling targeted the northeastern Bilenke District of the city.

Kramatorsk also came under attack from MLRS and Geran-2 drones overnight.

This artillery shelling is due to Russia's recent advances northwest of Bakhmut, which have seen them capture a number of significant fortified areas, including the village of Minkivka which was supposed to be the primary Ukrainian stronghold in this sector. This offensive is being carried out in conjunction with advances west of Siversk towards Slovyansk, which have resulted in even larger progress.

Soon, Slovyansk and Kramatorsk will follow the path of Kostyantynivka and Druzhkivka, turning into dead cities. Already, voluntary civilian evacuations in Kramatorsk have increased in the past few weeks in response to increased Russian FPV drone strikes.

This is one of the reasons why I have been sounding the alarm about this sector recently.

The area of the famous "Siversk Salient" has now officially come under full Russian control.

This was a highly fortified area which saw nearly 4 years of intense fighting, with Russian commanders even mentioning how effectively Ukraine defended this sector.
