Over 100 Geran-2 drones are expected to attack Ukraine from the north today, mostly from Oryol Oblast. Launches have been reported from the Tsumbulova Test Site in Oryol Oblast, Khalino Airbase in Kursk Oblast and Primorsko Akhtarsk in Krasnodar Krai.

The IDF confirmed that all three rockets impacted open areas near Ein HaShlosha and Nirim. None of them were intercepted.

Speaks a lot

Russian FAB-3000 glide-bomb strike on the village of Komar, Donetsk Oblast. Strikes here are intensifying here as Russian forces prepare to cover the last stretch of ground before the village.

Currently, Russian forces are around 2.4km from the southeastern outskirts of Komar.

According to Flight Radar, an IL-76MD aircraft belonging to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations flew over Sumy and Chernihiv Oblasts, before turning off its transponder. Probably GPS jamming, although the flight trajectory is odd for that.

The head of the Bilopol Territorial Community Yuriy Zarko stated that out of the 16,000 people who used to live in the city of Bilopillya, only around 2,000 remain.

Ever since Ukrainian forces began their failed assault operations on the Tetkino area of Kursk Oblast, evacuations from Bilopillya, the neighbouring city of Vorozhba and the surrounding settlements has sped up massively.

The IDF has released an official statement claiming that the airstrike on the yard of the European Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza on May 13 did indeed kill Mohammed Sinwar, the new commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades (Armed wing of Hamas).

They also claimed to have killed the commander of Hamas' Rafah Brigade and the commander of the south Khan Younis Battalion in that same airstrike.

According to new information, the number of Gerans launched today may reach as high as 300.

Last night, a combined Russian missile and drone strike was carried out on the Ozerne Airbase in Zhytomyr Oblast, likely targeting facilities for Su-27 fighter jets.

A total of 4 Kh-101 cruise missiles and 3 Iskander-M ballistic missiles were used. The Kh-101 cruise missiles were launched by a Tu-95MS strategic bomber from the launch lines in Penza Oblast. The Iskander-M ballistic missiles were launched from OTRK complexes near Liski, Voronezh Oblast. None of the missiles were shot down, likely due to degraded radar. The missiles were also detected very late.

Additionally, over 300 Geran-2 drones were launched from:

Millerovo Airbase in Rostov Oblast
Primorsko Akhtarsk Airbase in Krasnodar Krai
Navlya Test Site in Bryansk Oblast
Tsumbulova Test Site in Oryol Oblast
Khalino Airbase in Kursk Oblast
Shatalovo Airbase in Smolensk Oblast

The drones were launched in multiple waves in order to prolong the attacks and saturate Ukrainian air defence even further. More than 150 Gerans were recorded flying in Ukrainian airspace at once, which beats the previous record set during the missile attacks last week. The attack targeted several regions of Ukraine including the Ozerne Airbase and is still ongoing with ~35 Geran-2 drones in the airspace.

A Russian reconnaissance drone monitored the UAV operators arriving at the airstrip and relayed the coordinates to an OTRK crew back in Kursk Oblast, who launched an Iskander at the target.
