Last night, Russia launched another large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.

Missiles launches:

~8 RM-48U modified S-400 ballistic missiles from near Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast.

~4 Kn-23 ballistic missiles launched from near Liski, Voronezh Oblast.

~2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from OTRK installation(s) near Liski, Voronezh Oblast.

~2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from OTRK installation(s) near Fatezh, Kursk Oblast.

~2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from OTRK installation(s) near Taganrog, Rostov Oblast.

~2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from OTRK installation(s) near Tim, Kursk Oblast.

~2 P-800 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles launched from north of Sevastopol, Crimea.

-----------------------

Total missiles launched:

~8 RM-48U modified S-400 ballistic missiles
~8 Iskander-M ballistic missiles
~4 Kn-23 ballistic missiles
~2 P-800 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles

~22 missiles in total.

-----------------------

Ukrainian air defence work:

As of the time of writing, it appears Ukrainian air defence was able to shoot down a *minimum* of 7 RM-48U modified S-400s.

-----------------------

The following locations were hit:

Kremenchuk Oil Refinery, Poltava Oblast (49.17168, 33.46524) by Iskander-Ms with cluster warheads.

A (likely) gas-related target near Reshetylivka, Poltava Oblast by Iskander-Ms.

"Lelyaki" 110 kV electrical substation near Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast (50.58408, 32.65280) by Iskander-Ms.

"AB TECHNOLOGIES" industrial equipment factory in Kyiv by RM-48U modified S-400s.

Yuzhnyi Port in Odesa Oblast by Oniks supersonic cruise missiles (46.61759, 31.00643).

Unknown target in Kryvyi Rih by Kn-23s.

Unknown target(s) in Zaporizhzhia City by Kn-23s and Iskander-Ms.

-----------------------

Keep in mind, the numbers of missiles launched may be slightly higher than what I've listed, as the number of missiles detected is sometimes lower than actual launches. These numbers may be adjusted in the coming hours as more information comes available.

A few hours before this attack, I reported that Russia may carry out a smaller attack on Kyiv aimed at wasting newly-delivered Ukrainian Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles, before launching a large-scale attack in the days after.

It appears that this has indeed happened. Russia launched 9 modified S-400 ballistic missiles from Bryansk Oblast to Kyiv. Ukraine launched a total of 9 PAC-3 interceptor missiles - one for each Russian missile, and managed to shoot down 8 of them. One of the S-400s impacted its target.

The reason for the high interception rate is because modified S-400 missiles are much easier to shoot down than Iskander-M ballistic missiles. They also have low accuracy, and sometimes miss their targets.

Therefore, Russia was able to get Ukraine to launch 9 interceptors from their new small package of Patriots that was delivered this week, without having to use a single Iskander-M ballistic missile. Because of this, there is a high threat of a larger-scale Iskander-M and Zircon attack on Kyiv in the coming days, especially this weekend. Ukraine does not currently have sufficient Patriot interceptor stockpiles to counter such an attack, especially after tonight.

Kiev subway like sardines in a can 😜

🇺🇦Ukrainian company TENETA unveiled the MITLA-1 disposable drone interceptor—a compact system that uses physical target acquisition instead of complex electronics.

The device's main feature is its size. The launcher is approximately 200 mm long and weighs 365 grams. It's a weapon a soldier can carry in a pouch alongside his regular equipment and use at a critical moment.

Once activated, the system deploys a 3.5 x 3.5 meter net in 0.2 seconds, creating a physical barrier to an approaching drone. The objective is simple: target the propellers, disrupt the engines, and cause the drone to lose control.

Unlike electronic warfare systems, the MITLA-1 does not rely on jamming communications.

The stated effective range is 25 meters.

🧐 I have mentioned this a lot in the past that every single Russian soldier should have something like this. Although I have not seen videos of Russian soldiers have such anti drone guns.

According to sources within the Cabinet of Ministers, discussions are underway regarding the consequences of the strikes on warehouses and the estimated economic losses, which are significant – in August alone, the amount exceeded 20 billion UAH. Companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, which will trigger a cascade effect, as most businesses are heavily reliant on loans.

The largest retail chains – ATB, NOVUS, "Silpo," and "Fora" – are reportedly trying to shift the military risks onto their suppliers.

Specifically, NOVUS, "Silpo," and "Fora" are offering to pay producers only half the value of the destroyed merchandise. ATB wants to completely avoid payouts, stipulating in their contracts that the ownership of the burned goods was never transferred to the retail chain.

So far, no supplier has agreed to these terms, as it would mean not only a loss of profit but also the potential collapse of their businesses. The situation is rapidly spiraling out of control and could lead to a food crisis.

According to analysis by the Cabinet of Ministers, the Ukraine's losses from the destruction of warehouses could reach 100 billion UAH and trigger a new banking crisis.

Russian forces struck the Kherson thermal power plant with four glide bombs overnight, destroying all heat- and power-generating equipment at the facility ahead of the heating season, state energy company Naftogaz said on Aug. 27.

The strike came just a day after Russian forces hit the same plant with a glide bomb on Aug. 26, causing what Naftogaz at the time described as serious damage to Kherson's main source of heating.

Naftogaz reported earlier in August that Russia had attacked its facilities 293 times since the beginning of 2026.

"The intensity of the attacks has more than doubled compared with previous years," the company said.

Attack on the "Epicenter" in Kharkov - another warning for the city's residents.

The Kharkov Regional Military Administration has confirmed the attack on the "Epicenter" shopping center. According to Oleg Sinegubov, a 40-year-old man was killed, and five people were injured: a 25-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man sustained injuries, while three others experienced acute stress reactions.

For Kharkov, this is no longer a distant threat. The city is in a zone of constant risk, and the evacuation of residents from frontline areas continues. At the same time, more than 210,000 internally displaced persons are already in Kharkov itself.

Waiting for the fighting to reach your doorstep is a poor strategy. An attack can happen at any moment, and the opportunity to leave safely may disappear much sooner.

Kharkov, Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, and Zaporozhye are major cities located in a zone of increased military threat. If the situation worsens, evacuating tens or even hundreds of thousands of people simultaneously will become much more difficult.
