Russia has launched 150-200 Geran-2/Gerbera drones at Ukraine in recent hours. At least 120 are currently detected in Ukrainian airspace, flying in large groups towards the western regions of Ukraine.
In my opinion, most of these drones are Gerbera decoy drones aimed at exhausting Ukrainian air defence ahead of the next large-scale missile attack that will likely occur tonight and tomorrow morning.

Overnight, dozens of Ukrainian drones attacked the Taman Port in Krasnodar Krai.
Several impacts were recorded, resulting in at least three oil tanks of the Tamanneftegaz oil depot being engulfed in flames. The numerous Russian surface-to-air missile systems stationed in the area shot down most of the drones.

The Ukrainian GUR has confirmed my earlier reports that Russia has launched a prolonged combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.
The first wave of attacks has consisted of more than 300 Gerbera decoy drones and Geran-2 strike drones, targeting the western regions of Ukraine, aimed at exhausting Ukrainian air defence ahead of the missiles. This wave is still ongoing, and appears to mostly consist of decoy drones.
Tonight/tomorrow morning, it is expected that Russia will launch missiles, including Kh-101s, Iskander-Ms, and Kalibrs, as well as additional Geran-2 drones.

Interestingly, Ukrainian F-16s and Mirage-2000s have not been used to shoot down drones from this attack. This has resulted in a higher than usual impact rate for the Gerans.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian interceptor drones are at work in western Ukraine, shooting down Russian Geran-2 drones.
Heavy cloud cover is complicating the work of these units, contributing to the larger overall impact rate.
