There is a high threat of another combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine for the next 3 days, especially for Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast.

If this attack does take place, the following could be used:

- Iskander-M ballistic missiles
- Iskander-K cruise missiles
- Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles
- Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles
- The new "Izdeliye-30" cruise missile

As we are entering the spring months, its likely that there will be other targets hit beyond the usual energy infrastructure, especially that of the military-industrial complex.

An attack like this would not include strategic aviation, and would take place any time between 12am and 4am Kyiv Time.

After this attack (if it does indeed take place), we can expect another combined attack 1-2 weeks from now involving Tu-95MS, Tu-160M, and possibly Tu-22m3 strategic bombers, which are being redeployed and are undergoing equipment of Kh-101 cruise missiles.

The IDF claims it was targeting "Hezbollah infrastructures".

The IDF published footage claiming to show a targeted assassination strike on Yahya Abu-Labda, a commander of Hamas' supply and logistics department.

I plan to get back into my normal posting schedules soon. Iran updates will continue, but I won't be covering every single event like I've been doing lately (during my online periods).

I know I've gained over the majority (over 100,000 followers) from my Iran coverage, but this account was originally made for covering and mapping the war in Ukraine, and I plan to stick to my roots for as long as this war lasts, even if it means I lose a ton of engagement and impressions.

In the end, I know much more about the war in Ukraine and find it a lot more interesting to research and post about. I've dedicated the last 2 years to covering it, and the last 4 years to following it. I don't want to force myself to always post mostly about a conflict that I've viewed as secondary to Ukraine for me.

So expect the rate of my Middle East updates to begin decreasing over time, although I do plan to keep them decently consistent and numerous for those who are here for them.

Rocket alerts in northern Israel

Elements of Ukraine's 425th assault regiment "Skala" have been redeployed to the Slovyansk/Rai-Oleksandrivka direction in an attempt at slowing down the relatively rapid Russian progress in this sector.

As I've been saying for months, Russian advances west of Siversk and northwest of Bakhmut towards the cities of Mykolaivka, Slovyansk, and Kramatorsk are extremely dangerous for Ukraine. In my opinion, this is THE MOST critical front for Ukraine right now. After capturing the stronghold city of Siversk and the surrounding heavily fortified areas, Russia has been able to capture most of the heavily fortified areas west of Siversk, which have been held for nearly 4 years.

Due to their massive concentration of manpower in this direction, their successful movements on the opposite bank of the Siverskyi Donets River in the adjacent Lyman sector, and the presence of major logistical hubs (Lysychansk, Severodonetsk, and now Siversk), Russia has been able to enter and consolidate positions at an unprecedently fast rate. Artillery shells are now striking the eastern suburbs of Kramatorsk for the first time ever, and FPV drones are flying freely over both Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, forcing Ukraine to construct anti-drone nets on the city streets and logistical routes.

It's unclear where these elements of the 425th regiment were redeployed from as this unit is currently stretched across multiple fronts, but in my opinion it likely came from the Pokrovs'ke direction where it was previously deployed to take part in the ongoing counteroffensive. This is because its redeployment from there was reported (but never confirmed) last month.

I wouldn't be surprised if other units are sent to this sector in order to slow Russian advances. Ukraine's goal is likely to halt Russia's advance before they can capture the remaining tactical heights and "old" fortifications east of the Siverskyi Donets Canal and Mykolaivka.

Pisky, Donetsk Oblast. Right on the outskirts of Donetsk City.

Its crazy that there used to be an entire town here with houses and apartment buildings, rather than just a field of debris.

Ballistic missile launches from Iran to Israel

They dont seem to be targeting Israel

Nevermind. The missile failed along the way and fell in Jordan.

Repeated launches from Iran. To northern Israel

More launches from Iran. This time to central Israel

Sirens will sound in the next couple minutes

Interceptor launches from northern Israel

Interceptors flying northeast to the Upper Galilee

Alerts

Weird attack. It doesn't look like many interceptors went up.

Possible interception over Karmiel, northern Israel. Checking.
