Current results of missile strikes

Arrivals in Kharkov, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kievv, Kherson, Odessa, Nikolaev, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk regions, as well as in Donbas territories occupied by AFU.

So far, there is no exact data on explosions in Volyn, Chernivtsi, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions, as air defense systems were operating everywhere.

Infrastructure in Kharkov, Dnipropetrovsk, and Lviv oblasts was hit the hardest, resulting in blackouts in these and neighboring oblasts, as well as disruptions to water, cellular communications, and the Internet.

The poor air defense efficiency (which, of course, will not prevent "almost everything" on the Internet from being shot down later) is attributed to fog and altered tactics of the Air Force, which launched a large number of decoys and worked on radars and SAMs before striking, after which the infrastructure is already hit.

So far, there is no data on the results of strikes against air defense facilities. Still, the last three waves of attacks have destroyed various elements of air defense systems (mainly S-300 complex components and various radar systems).

Pentagon recommends Zelenskyy retreat from Bakhmut and abandons attempts to retake Soledar

Ukrainian channels quoted its sources in the presidential office as saying that the Pentagon supported Zelenskyy's call to give up Soledar, which is now under Russian control. Additionally, according to the sources, the US Defence Department recommended Zaluskyy not sacrifice the Ukrainian Armed Forces' reserves to retake the lost city under its control and withdraw troops from Bakhmut.

We shall remind you that earlier, during a report on the situation in Soledar, Zelenskyy reported about the failure of three attempts of the Ukrainian armed forces to counterattack Soledar. The Western press also acknowledged the retreat of Ukrainian troops from the city, yet the Ukrainian president continued to deny the loss of Soledar hypocritically.

Friendly fire in Dnipropetrovsk: why Ukraine's air defense continues to destroy residential buildings. A breakdown of the reasons from Readovka Explains

Today, some of the largest "retaliatory strikes" were carried out on Ukrainian territory. Once again, the targets of the Russian missile attacks were the infrastructure of a non-independent country. Arrivals were recorded in many oblasts, and an air alert was declared throughout Ukraine. In contrast to the morning strikes on Kiev, the evening salvo was carried out with the already familiar Kalibr and X-101 cruise missiles.

Once again, the Ukrainian air defense system distinguished itself by hitting a residential building in Dnipropetrovsk. The damage to the building was so severe that it is almost certain that there was a secondary detonation (possibly a domestic gas explosion). Neither the air defense missile nor a Russian cruise missile could have caused such fatal damage - a span of the building collapsed.

Official Kiev's silence about the cause of the explosion also suggests that it was a Ukrainian missile that caused the tragedy. Moreover, this is not the first, second, or even third time that Ukraine's air defense has hit its own houses or Polish collective farms. What is the reason for such misses?

They are traditionally several. Firstly, cruise missiles fly at extremely low altitudes, and missile launches from urban areas automatically turn residential buildings into potential targets. A way out would be to create rings of air defenses around cities, but Ukraine lacks the systems to provide such safe protection. Second, it should not be forgotten that the backbone of Ukrainian air defense is still Soviet missile systems with expired missiles, which makes the probability of failure when flying over residential areas very high.

Ukraine's DTEK acknowledged hitting two TPPs during the missile attack but did not specify which ones, while the energy minister said facilities in six regions were hit

Ukraine's largest privately owned vertically integrated energy company stated today's missile attack, saying two thermal power plants were hit. However, for some reason, it did not want to name them.

Considering how many regions of Ukraine have already admitted hitting critical infrastructure - Kharkiv, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Odessa - there are not a few options. For example, it could also be the Ladyzhyn TPP in the Vinnitsa region, which has been targeted by Russian missiles repeatedly since October.

Meanwhile, the head of the Ukrainian Energy Ministry, Halushchenko, announced that energy facilities in five Ukrainian regions and the Kiev-controlled part of the Zaporizhzhia Region had been hit at once. The official also said that there were emergency blackouts in most areas and that "the next days in the energy sector will be difficult."

Interesting ...2 to 1 wounded: killed ratio. Later, by pencil is changed the number of dead to just 10. The rest of the dead are MIA. Original 123 dead, 215 wounded. After the intervention, just ten dead, lol

Fighting for Soledar: attack near Sol station, the footage shows AFU fighters evacuating their wounded
The enemy continues to take casualties.

So, not so much decapitated mentally after all by propaganda. Good.

A picture published by Ukraine's DTEK shows large-scale destruction in one of the Kyiv thermal power plants after today's massive Russian attack. The turbine hall and the power unit as a whole were damaged (or destroyed).

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Black Sea:

"Vasily, why did you press the washing machine delivery button? We should have sent the air conditioner this time! But that's ok. Next!"

Dark Ukrainian night: Dnepropetrovsk plunged into darkness after today's shelling.

Atmospheric footage comes from a de-energized Dnepropetrovsk, where a critical energy infrastructure was hit today. Apparently , one of the strategically important thermal power plants was damaged (or destroyed).
