Regarding possible targets for the upcoming combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine:

Russia has been carrying out extensive reconnaissance of the following locations, using Gerbera drones and balloons:

- Kyiv City, Bila Tserkva, areas south and north of Kyiv
- Southern Zhytomyr Oblast.
- Rivne Oblast, especially Dubno.
- Lviv Oblast, especially Lviv City
- Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.
- Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, especially Pavlohrad and Dnipro.

More specific information about the times of launches will be provided during the attack, but in general, the highest threat is in place for 11pm to 6am tonight.

In my opinion, the primary target will be the military-industrial complex and railway infrastructure. There is also a risk that airbases in Kyiv Oblast and Western Ukraine are hit. I personally doubt that Russia will attack major decision-making centres like they threatened, but we will see.

It turns out that the cruise missiles launched overnight were actually 6 Kh-101 cruise missiles from a Tu-95MS strategic bomber over Vologda Oblast, not Iskander-K cruise missiles. The aircraft was communicating with command and control in Moscow with a different (unknown) frequency, meaning it was not detected as a combat missions.

These missiles attacked the Obukhiv area of Kyiv Oblast. 4-5 of them were shot down during the flight time, which lasted around an hour.

This Tu-95MS, along with the remaining two out of 6 which are expected to take part in the upcoming attack, are currently redeploying from Olenya Airbase to Engels-2 Airbase to be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. They will likely then return to Olenya Airbase this afternoon.

Ukrainian drones struck two Russian Tu-142 maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine aircraft at Taganrog-Central Airbase, and an Iskander-M ballistic missile launcher near Taganrog, Rostov Oblast.

As some of you may have noticed, I am a bit behind on map updates, especially for the northern half of Ukraine. I have been trying my best to keep my interactive map (amkmapping.com) up to date, but even this has fallen behind in some places.

It takes a lot more time nowadays to verify map changes due to the nature of the war being dominated by small infantry infiltration tactics with a lack of consolidation, which only exacerbates this issue of delayed updates for me.

I've just been very busy these past two weeks, but hopefully by Monday/Tuesday I will be ready to resume reporting at my old rates, posting maps more regularly to keep up to date with what is happening. I apologise for the delays recently, I'll do my best to increase my rate of reporting from next week onwards.

Ukrainian drones struck a sanctioned Russian oil tanker stationed at Taganrog Oil Depot (Rostov Oblast), the Taganrog Oil Depot itself, and an oil depot in Feodosia (Crimea).

Additional clarification on the small missile attack last night:

2 Tu-95MS strategic bombers launched 8 Kh-101 cruise missiles, not 1.

3-4 of these missiles impacted the Obukhiv/Ukrainka area of Kyiv Oblast.

Ukrzaliznytsia reports that Russian drones struck railway infrastructure and trains in Zaporizhzhia City, damaging a locomotive and a diesel locomotive, and killing a train driver.

Donetsk oblast - Ukrainian forces retook Andreyevka-Klevtsove in Komar direction.

This settlement was never fully under Russian control btw. It was always contested.

Continuous fighter jet activity is reported over Baghdad, Iraq.

⚡🇷🇺🇺🇦 Satellite imagery shows that three Tu-142 landed over the course of May to the Yuzhny airbase. The facility is specialized in the repair of large aircrafts such as Tu-95, A-50, IL-76 and their variants.

Two Tu-142s sustained direct hits from FP-2 (which has a warhead large enough to destroy them). One of the aircrafts could be seen burning confirming its destruction.

The destroyed (confirmed) Tu-142 is a Tu-142MR variant whose mission is to communicate with submerged submarines of the Russian Navy. They play a key role in Russia's nuclear detterence.

The drone footage also shows two IL-76 type aircrafts, these were not targeted as they were previously destroyed in November 2025. The A-60 was an airborne laser testbed, the A-100LL was a prototype for the A-100 AWACS program.
