Missile strike on Kiev (02.07.2026) - two important things to keep in mind...

Not just on Kiev, of course, but Kiev was indeed the main target. Some interesting details were noted by observers today:

Firstly, the record number of missiles used in one night against a single city (Kiev). Altogether (until there is an exact count by the AFU) about 50-60 wespons were used.

The strike was also a combined one – Hypersonic Zircons and "standard" Iskanders were used, with groups of X-101s and Korean "light ballistics" thrown in to "distract" the enemy air defense systems.

The second most important feature of the strikes was the massive use of jet-powered "Geran" drones (the enemy counted dozens of these). This also sharply reduced the possibility of their interception by mobile fire groups.

As a result, there are many direct hits and "falling debris from missiles and UAVs" all over the city. The exact results of the strike will be known later, but they are clearly serious.

Kiev last night...

Forward Russian assault groups are now just 9 km from the eastern outskirts of Slovyansk. Only 1 village and some open fields lie in the way of the city.

I really hope Ukrainian authorities issue mandatory evacuation orders for the ~40,000 civilians still living in the city soon...
