Explosions in Odesa.

Now at least 20 Geran-2 drones are approaching Odesa from the west.

Imagine Syrskyi pulls an Assad and flees to Moscow, revealing he was a Russian agent all along trying to sabotage the AFU with terrible decision-making.

Well if we follow tradition we've got to report that Syrskyi Holds! for the next 6 to 8 months before quietly admitting he was sacked in a random report, hidden amongst other events.

"Syrskyi was not strategically important"

The Iranian Army released footage showing the launch of drones, which they claim targeted U.S. ammunition depots and logistical equipment at the Camp Doha Base in Kuwait.

No major Iranian response today. So far.

Over the last 72 hours, Russia has launched at least 35 missiles at Odesa Oblast, including ~22 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, ~7 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles, ~4 Kh-22/32 supersonic cruise missiles, ~1 Kh-31P anti-radar missile, and ~1 Iskander-M ballistic missile. In addition to this, dozens of Geran-2/3/4/5 drones and Banderol jet-drones have attacked the region.

This accounts for 100% (!) of all missiles launched at Ukraine over the last 3 days. Most/all of the missiles impacted without being shot down due to a lack of surface-to-air missile systems in the region right now, and the constant threat of Kh-31P anti-radar missiles being launched towards air defence systems and radars from Su-30s accompanying the Su-34s, Su-35s and Su-57s on combat missions.

Today was the 14th consecutive day of Russia's new massive strike campaign for the region. It is expected that strikes will continue for the coming days, with there even being a risk that the region is the primary target of the upcoming large-scale, combined missile and drone attack later this week.

While everyone focuses on Ukraine's mid-range strike campaign against Russian commercial vessels in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea, hardly anyone even mentions these unprecedented strikes taking place against the only available ports Ukraine has.

The Russian MOD claims that the 14th consecutive night of strikes against Odesa Oblast targeted two ships in the western Black Sea, port infrastructure facilities allegedly used for unloading and storing military cargo, and tanks containing fuel reportedly used by the Ukrainian military.

In addition, they claim to have struck a Nova Poshta warehouse in Odesa city used by the Ukrainian military for storing military cargo, as well as another Neptune cruise missile launcher near the village of Kovalivka.

Ahead of the upcoming combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine, Russian Gerbera drones have been carrying out heavy reconnaissance of potential targets across Kyiv Oblast and Chernihiv Oblast.

Overnight, they were specifically focused on the areas of Irpin, Dymer, Novi Petrivtsi, Slavutych, and Vyshhorod, Pereiaslav, and Brovary in northern and eastern Kyiv Oblast.

As I mentioned earlier, there is also a threat of Odesa being targeted. For the last few days, Russian Gerbera reconnaissance drones have been actively scouting out routes with limited air defence for missiles to fly along in the region.
