2 missiles

I think these are Oniks supersonic cruise missiles.

Flying further to Brovary

Flying past Brovary to eastern Kyiv. Approaching the city

The missiles are over Kyiv

Explosions in Kyiv

1 more flying in.

Impacted. All clear now.

They were flying too slow to be Zircons. Definitely Oniks missiles, launched from northern Kursk Oblast.

I'm clarifying where in Kyiv they impacted.

Another missile to Sumy Oblast

Flying past Shostka. This is likely an Oniks again

Flying past Shostka to Nizhyn, Chernihiv Oblast.

140 km from Kyiv

Disappeared near the Sumy-Chernihiv border.

Afternoon missile attack on Kyiv.

2 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles were launched from near the city of Zheleznogorsk, Kursk Oblast. They targeted the southern and southwestern parts of Kyiv.

I would assume they impacted, but it's very odd how there's no photos or videos from Kyiv, especially considering its daytime.

Their flight routes are shown on the map.

I managed to clarify some information regarding the Russian attack on Kyiv today.

As I said earlier, 2 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles were launched from Kursk Oblast.

One of the missiles (the first one) was shot down by Ukrainian air defence as it passed over the southern suburbs of the city.

The second missile made it through and impacted the Vyshneve Industrial Zone on the southwestern edge of Kyiv, which contains a number of industrial enterprises, warehouses, and logistics centres. This industrial zone is located next to the infamous S-300 surface-to-air missile plant that was hit in July.

Situation on the Novopavlivka direction, Donetsk/Dnipropetrovsk Oblast:

Over the last few weeks, Ukrainian forces continued their coordinated series of counterattacks in the Novopavlivka direction, further pushing Russia backed to the border with Donetsk Oblast.

In the southwest, Ukrainian forces continued advancing east along the southern bank of the Vovcha River, recapturing the village of Zaporizhzhya and beginning assault operations on the treelines to the east, which have so far been unsuccessful.

To the north, the Ukrainians completed the capture of Filiya and began assault operations southeast of the village towards the Dachne forest. They also cleared part of the gulley south of Novopavlivka and are infiltrating further south towards the Dachne Forest.

To the southeast, Ukrainian forces continued to gradually advance through the fields south of Novopavlivka, capturing new treeline positions near the highway and establishing control over a small forest south of the tributary of the Solena River. From here, they are infiltrating further south, reaching the fortifications on the northern outskirts of Dachne.

To the northeast, the Ukrainians completed clearing operations in a large number of treeline positions east of Novopavlivka, establishing control over this area and pushing the frontline further away from the town. From there, they captured a number of fortifications along the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk regional border and re-entered Donetsk Oblast in multiple areas north of Horikhove.

+ ~21.77 km² in favour of Ukraine.

Situation on the Novopavlivka & Dobropillya directions, Donetsk/Dnipropetrovsk Oblast:

Over the last two weeks, Russian forces intensified their assault operations near the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk regional border, making new advances in multiple different areas.

In the southwest, Russian forces captured additional reinforced concrete trench fortifications north of Novoolekandrivka and have expanded their zone of infiltration further west.

To the north, the Russians resumed attacks west of Novopidhoronie and began new assault operations north of the town, with some DRGs managing to infiltrate multiple areas around Novooleksandrivka.

To the northeast, Russian forces improved their positions in the treelines northwest of Kotlyne, and captured some trench strongpoints north of the waste heaps north of Udachne. From there, they are infiltrating northwest in small numbers through the treelines and forest plantations into the southern part of Serhiivka, while some DRGs were able to infiltrate the westernmost part of the village. Attacks west along the railway line were also resumed.

+ ~3.42 km² in favour of Russia.

Situation on the Dobropillya direction, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last two weeks, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have been carrying out assault operations, each achieving some successes, while Russia continues to expand their zone of infiltration.

Following the arrival of reinforcements in the form of the reformed remnants of the 425th Assault Regiment "Skala" and 225th Assault Regiment, Ukrainian forces were able to regain some previously lost positions in and around Dobropillya. In the northeastern part of Dobropillya, they cleared the parts of the city previously infiltrated by Russian assault groups, as well as part of Hannivka. Russian forces were pushed back beyond the forests east of Hannivka to the dachas, where they are now launching attacks from, including deep DRG infiltrations towards the southern outskirts of Bilytske.

South of Dobropillya, Ukrainian forces managed to clear parts of Krasnopodillya and Chernihivka from earlier Russian infiltrations, linking up with the Ukrainian strongpoints in Vodyanske and Svitle, which are now largely empty of Russian soldiers. Russian forces continued attacks towards the Vodyanske agglomeration from the east and southeast, engaging in fighting for the mine east of Shevchenko and, as of yesterday, infiltrating the eastern buildings of the tactically important Bilytska Mine. Fighting is also ongoing for the central and western parts of Bilytske, where the Russians were previously unable to consolidate their positions, but are slowly clearing the city block by block.

Additionally, Russian forces managed to make some new advances west of Shevchenko, capturing a number of new treeline positions and infiltrating the villages of Dobropillya and Matyasheve. Due to the heavy destruction in Shevchenko, they are not focused on consolidating there, although there are no known Ukrainian positions in the main part of the village.

As a result of these advances west of Shevchenko, Russian assault groups have begun infiltrating even further north, entering the southernmost street of Dobropillya city and some adjacent industrial buildings. DRGs have moved even further, entering the park on the western outskirts of the city. Infiltrations into Dobropillya are also taking place from the east along the railway line, where they are entering the southeastern-most part of the city.

Northeast of Dobropillya, Russian forces have continued their infiltrations north of Stepy and Vilne after failing to consolidate their earlier captured positions. The grey-zone here is rapidly growing in size on both sides, with large areas simply being empty of soldiers from either side. Nevertheless, some isolated DRG infiltrations into Zolotyi Kolodyaz and the Novotroitske area, as well as assault group infiltrations into Hruzke and Vesele (which were later cleared) were recorded. Russia was able to slightly improve their positions northwest of Shakhove and captured the remaining positions south of Novomykolaivka, and are continuing to infiltrate into the clay quarries from the latter.

+ ~14.24 km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~6.65 km² in favour of Ukraine.

Situation on the Kostyantynivka direction, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last few weeks, the intensity of fighting in the Kostyantynivka direction has slightly decreased, although Russian forces have managed to make additional advances in multiple different areas.

In the west, Russian forces marginally advanced west of Petrivka and continued infiltrations into the village. Infiltrations are also taking place into the villages of Raiske and the fields to the south. Other assault groups continue attacks on the Ukrainian salient southwest and west of Mykolaipillya.

To the east, Russian forces continued their attacks through the treelines northwest of Kostyantynivka, entering the village of Osykove and the western part of Oleksijevo-Druzhkivka, while the intensity of fighting in Kostyantynivka has reached an all-time low. North of Kostyantynivka, Russian forces are infiltrating the village of Izhevka and nearby areas, while DRGs were able to reach Kurtiivka. Infiltrations are also taking place into the villages of Popasne and Stinky, which both remain in the grey-zone for now.

To the northeast, the Russians cleared the remaining Ukrainian positions in the treelines east of Novodmytrivka and captured the rest of Chervone. They also advanced through the fields southwest of Maiske, recapturing numerous previously-lost positions along the tactical heights, and entered the eastern part of Virolyubivka along with the railway line to the south. Additionally, the Russians improved their positions in the treelines north of Markove and expanded their zone of infiltration in the forests northwest of Fedorivka.

+ ~13.93 km² in favour of Russia.
