Ukraine has launched another UAV attack on Rostov Oblast. Several UAVs, likely launched from either Dnipro or Donetsk Oblast, flew over Luhansk Oblast and headed for Morozovsk. The first air defence operations were heard a couple of hours ago.

More to come.

Meanwhile in Ukraine, Russia launched a smaller Shahed/Geran attack than usual. 2 drones are still airborne in the airspace of Ukraine, while the rest either hit their targets or were shot down.

Most of them targeted Lviv Oblast. It appears that Russia is still trying to hit the region in the aftermath of the large-scale missile strike two days ago which also targeted Lviv.

If this report by Deepstate is true, it would appear that Russian forces are attempting to bypass Ukrainsk following what appeared to be failed attacks on the town.


Official map updates will come later today.

2 Russian missiles were launched at Lyubotyn, Kharkiv Oblast. 1 has already hit its target, with explosions being reported.

More explosions in Kharkiv.

Approximate paths of Ukrainian UAVs over the past 24 hours:

A minimum of 4 UAVs were launched, likely from either Donetsk or Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

UAV flights were recorded Rostov Oblast. Based on the lack of explosion reports and the fact that no videos surfaced of drone strikes, it is highly likely that all UAVs were shot down by Russian air defence.

A Russian missile was launched at Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. It is currently flying through Kharkiv Oblast.

It's a ballistic. Probably an Iskander.

Explosions in Pavlohrad.

Another Ballistic missile in the direction of Pavlohrad.

Another explosion.

More explosions in Pavlohrad.

A Russian missile was launched in the direction of Sumy.

Approximate paths of Russian Shahed/Geran drones over the past 24 hours:

Russian forces launched a minimum of 31 drones from Crimea and Kursk.

Explosions were reported in Sumy Oblast, Chuhuiv, Lviv, Vinnytsia Oblast, Pavlohrad, Kharkiv and Dnipro.

Shahed/Geran drones were recorded over the Sea of Azov and Crimea, as well as in Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Poltava, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv and Kyiv Oblasts.

At least 8 Shaheds reached their targets.

Reliable reports suggest that Ukrainian forces mounted a counterattack in Selydove, pushing the Russians out of the southern part of the city.

To recap, Russian DRGs entered the city and quickly advanced to the high-rise buildings on the southern bank of the Solona river. This was because the small Ukrainian garrison stationed there withdrew to more advantageous positions in the high-rise buildings as they waited for reinforcements, in the form of the 72nd mechanised brigade and the 15th operational recognition brigade.

The AFU then likely counterattacked with these new forces and recaptured the residential area south of the river. One source reported that Ukrainian forces went as far to drive the Russians from northern Selydove too, although this is unconfirmed as of the time of writing.

MLRS in the direction of Belgorod. Russian air defence is active.

Apologies for the lack of map updates today. I have been on and off twitter/telegram this evening, plus covering missile strikes. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.

Also, I plan to cover the Russian Shahed/Geran drone strikes live tomorrow, as well as Ukrainian UAV attacks, as I have time in the morning, so keep an eye out for that if you're interested :)

This is the first post in a series of live updates on Russian Shahed/Geran attacks with maps.

Currently, ~Shaheds are heading for Poltava via Myrhorod district.

~4 Shaheds in groups of ~2 are heading west through Chernihiv and Sumy Oblasts.

1 Shahed is flying to Poltava Oblast via northwestern Kharkiv Oblast.

This will be the first post in a series of live updates with maps on the Ukrainian UAV attacks.

There are reports of launches of Ukrainian UAVs from Sumy in the direction of Kursk and from Odesa in the direction of Crimea.

A new group of Shaheds is flying through Kursk in the direction of Sumy.

The new group (unknown number) entered Ukrainian airspace in Sumy Oblast.
