Iran was considering launching an attack on a seaport in Ukraine, but following a flurry of diplomacy the situation has calmed for now, according to the NYT.

Russia has completed preparations for its next large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine, which will likely take place tonight.

Up to 6 Tu-160M strategic bombers and up to 6 Tu-95MS strategic bombers have been equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. Not all of these aircraft will be used in this one attack.

Additionally, up to 35 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles could be launched from Bryansk Oblast, Kursk Oblast, and Rostov Oblast. There is also a threat of North Korean-supplied Kn-23 ballistic missiles being launched separately from near Liski, Voronezh Oblast.

Furthermore, there is a possibility of 8-16 Kalibr cruise missiles being launched from vessels of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at Novorossiysk Naval Base, although this is not confirmed yet.

The highest threat is to Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast. Other regions are at risk too.

6 Tu-95MS are redeploying from Ukrainka Airbase in the Far East to Olenya Airbase in Murmansk Oblast. They will land in the next 2 hours.

Additionally, up to 7 Tu-160M strategic bombers are equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Ukrainka Airbase, some of which will be used in this upcoming attack.

It's looking like the attack will indeed take place tonight, but I will update you all later, in the morning (my time zone).
