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.

Footage showing the launch of 18 Kalibr cruise missiles by 3 Russian surface carriers at Novorossiysk Naval Base last night. These missiles went on to attack targets in Kirovohrad Oblast and Kyiv.

The video is sped up 4x.

I made a total of 279 posts during the last 11 hours of my live coverage 😵‍💫

Almost breaking my records from the Iran war.

I've also had multiple people in Kyiv inform me that they did not hear anything unusual during the night that would suggest an Oreshnik strike.

It seems more likely that only one missile was used, and it struck Bila Tserkva, with all the videos being from there.

Footage showing more than a dozen Kh-101 and Iskander-K cruise missile impacts in Kyiv, as well as a few interceptions, during last night's Russian combined missile and drone attack on the city.

Every time there’s one of these big developments with Ukraine, the information space gets polluted and flooded by these engagement farming creatures seeking to benefit from the 12 hours of big headlines.

And with that, we see some of the most uninformed, ridiculous takes imaginable. And this isn’t just limited to random Twitter accounts and “journalists”, but also world “leaders” trying to maintain their respective narratives.

Please, keep this with the Middle East war information space. We don’t need it with Ukraine too.

HIMARS launches to Belgorod City. Russian S-300/400 air defence is active.

More than 20 explosions were heard over Belgorod City.

The IDF announced that a soldier from the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion of the 401st Armoured Brigade was killed by a recent Hezbollah strike. In the same strike, another soldier was seriously injured and evacuated for medical treatment.

This brings the confirmed IDF death toll since the beginning of their invasion of Lebanon to 23.

Hezbollah released footage showing a series of FPV drone strikes on Israeli positions in the town of Rchaf, southern Lebanon.

Targets hit include:

- 2 Merkava tanks
- 2 military jeeps
- 2 (claimed) IDF positions
- 2 military fuel trucks
- A D9 military bulldozer
- A communications antenna

According to Hezbollah, most Israeli soldiers from the targeted areas withdrew after the strikes.

The video also shows damaged/destroyed vehicles from previous drone strikes, as well as some anti-drone nets that Israeli soldiers have begun setting up in the town.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an IDF excavator near the village of Deir Seryan, southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli Merkava Tank in the town of Taybeh, southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli GRX-8000 communications vehicle in the town of Taybeh, southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli Namer Armoured Personnel Carrier near the town of Deir Seryan, southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli Namer armoured personnel carrier in the town of Haddatha, southern Lebanon.

The IDF recently carried out a large-scale ground operation into Haddatha, which lies on the other side of the "Yellow Line". During these raids, they engaged in clashes with Hezbollah forces, while Hezbollah carried out strike like the one in this vehicle. Israeli forces have since managed to capture most of the town.

In recent weeks, Russia's elite "Rubicon" drone unit has massively ramped up their usage of interceptor drones to shoot down Ukrainian FP-1 and FP-2 long-range UAVs.

This is in response to the major successes Ukraine has had with their mid and long-range drone strikes on valuable Russian economic and military targets in the deep rear.

In my opinion, we will see the production rate of these Russian interceptor drones increase significantly in the coming months, which would result in the decrease of the impact rate of Ukrainian drones. Ukraine has also been employing similar tactics with interceptor drones against Russian Geran-2 and Gerbera long-range drones for some time now, and is ramping up their usage day-by-day too.
