The IDF claims to have killed Razek Sahil Suleiman Abu Shahma - the former bodyguard of the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar - in a recent targeted assassination strike on the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. He allegedly took part in the October 7th attacks on Israel.

They also claim to have killed Hazem Mousa - a fighter of Hamas' elite "Nukhba" unit in their Khan Younis Brigade - in a separate targeted assassination strike on Khan Younis. He also allegedly took part in the October 7th attacks on Israel.

According to the IDF, both men were planning attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians, while also trying to rebuild Hamas' military capabilities.

The Russian Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding last night's combined missile and drone attack.

In Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast, they claim to have struck a facility used for assembling drones, including "Hornet" loitering munitions; the largest logistics centre used for storing and distributing FPV drones, ground control stations, and related components; and a logistics centre in the city of Boryspil used for storing components for medium-to-long-range drones.

In the cities of Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi Rih, the MoD claims to have targeted two metallurgical plants used for supplying metallurgical products to the Ukrainian military.

In the city of Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast, the MoD announced targeting the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery, which they allege is used to supply fuel to the Ukrainian military and is involved in the transhipment of petroleum products coming from abroad.

In Odesa Oblast, they claim to have struck workshops in the city of Chornomorsk used for assembling drones and producing nitrate for the Ukrainian military; 24 different storage facilities at Chornomorsk and Odesa Ports containing military equipment; infrastructure equipment at Reni Port used for unloading fuel and military cargo; energy facilities used for supplying power to various Ukrainian ports; as well as transport infrastructure facilities used for military purposes.

Because Russia did not launch any Iskander-M ballistic missiles towards Kyiv tonight, and has successfully depleted a large portion of Ukraine's newly delivered Patriot interceptor missiles with modified S-400 missiles last night, there is a high threat of a much larger attack on Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast taking place during the weekend, with the highest threat being in place for the night after tomorrow.
