Николаевский Ванёк (02:07:34 UTC, 02:35:14 UTC) provides EXTREMELY DETAILED TRACKING INFORMATION on MULTIPLE DRONE (MOPED) MOVEMENTS across NUMEROUS REGIONS OF UKRAINE. This represents a SIGNIFICANT REFINEMENT of the previous assessment. The KEY UPDATES include:
1 drone flying from Kharkiv Oblast to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
1 drone flying from Kharkiv into Donetsk.
1 drone flying towards/through Zlatopil, Kharkiv Oblast.
Assessment: This HIGHLY DETAILED INFORMATION provides a MUCH CLEARER PICTURE of the ONGOING DRONE THREAT. The NUMBER OF DRONES REPORTED and their WIDE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION indicate a LARGE-SCALE AND COORDINATED ATTACK. The SPECIFIC LOCATIONS AND TRAJECTORIES allow for MORE PRECISE WARNINGS and TARGETED AIR DEFENSE RESPONSES.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (02:15:12 UTC, 02:21:24 UTC, 2:28:04, 02:30:58 UTC) CORROBORATES missile movements, reporting missiles entering Khmelnytskyi Oblast, moving towards Ternopil and Chernivtsi Oblasts, and then towards Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, and Bohorodchany.
РБК-Україна (02:16:23 UTC, 02:21:55 UTC, 2:28:37, 2:32:25) Corroborates the air force messages.
Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны (2:24:30 UTC, 02:24:31 UTC): Reports on the use of Kalibr.
Николаевский Ванёк (2:35:14): Reports that Kalibr is no longer in the area.
Assessment:CONFIRMS THE TRAJECTORY AND TARGETING of the KALIBR CRUISE MISSILE ATTACK. The DETAILED TRACKING INFORMATION allows for PRECISE WARNINGS in SPECIFIC AREAS. The SPLITTING OF MISSILE GROUPS indicates an attempt to EVADE AIR DEFENSES and STRIKE MULTIPLE TARGETS. The MOVEMENT TOWARDS WESTERN UKRAINE (Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblasts) is SIGNIFICANT, suggesting a POSSIBLE SHIFT IN TARGETING STRATEGY.
RENEWED GUIDED AERIAL BOMB LAUNCHES IN DONETSK OBLAST (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (02:09:59 UTC) reports launches of guided aerial bombs by Russian tactical aviation in Donetsk Oblast.
Assessment:REPEATED FROM PREVIOUS UPDATE. REINFORCES THE EXTREME THREAT in DONETSK OBLAST.
RUSSIAN MILITARY CLAIMS (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCES):
ТАСС (02:10:18 UTC): Russian military forces destroyed up to 160 Ukrainian soldiers, along with other equipment.
Colonelcassad (2:22:01): Reports on destroying Ukrainian targets.
Военкор Котенок (02:21:58 UTC): Reports on intense fighting.
Николаевский Ванёк (02:27:17 UTC): Reports that four TU-95MS bombers are returning to the Olenya base, while six more are heading towards launch areas in the Caspian Sea region.
Assessment: This indicates CONTINUED PREPARATION FOR POTENTIAL FUTURE MISSILE STRIKES. The return of some bombers suggests a POSSIBLE ROTATION OF FORCES or a COMPLETION OF THE CURRENT WAVE OF ATTACKS. The movement of other bombers towards launch areas indicates PREPARATION FOR SUBSEQUENT ATTACKS.
CONTINUED THREAT OF STRIKE UAVs (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (02:35:49 UTC) reiterates the ongoing threat of enemy strike UAVs, urging people to remain in shelters until the all-clear signal.
Assessment:REINFORCES THE CONTINUING DANGER from DRONE ATTACKS.

Updated Recommendations
MAINTAIN MAXIMUM ALERT FOR ALL AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS ACROSS UKRAINE (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE AND CONTINUOUS ACTION):
Prioritize air defense resources based on DETAILED DRONE TRACKING INFORMATION.
Issue specific warnings to AREAS UNDER IMMEDIATE THREAT from DRONES.
Engage all threats with ALL AVAILABLE AIR DEFENSE ASSETS.
Ensure civilians are in shelters and AWARE OF THE THREAT.
Coordinate with allied forces for INTELLIGENCE AND SUPPORT.
Prepare for additional attacks.
ASSESS DAMAGE AND CASUALTIES FROM ONGOING ATTACKS (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Deploy all available intelligence and reconnaissance assets to ASSESS DAMAGE from DRONE AND MISSILE STRIKES.
Determine the number of casualties, if any.
Prioritize rescue and emergency response efforts in AFFECTED AREAS.
PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL FOLLOW-UP ATTACKS, INCLUDING MISSILE STRIKES (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS ACTION):
Monitor TU-95MS bomber activity and ANTICIPATE POTENTIAL MISSILE LAUNCHES.
Maintain high readiness of AIR DEFENSE FORCES.
Prepare for potential disruptions to COMMUNICATIONS, POWER, and OTHER CRITICAL SERVICES.
IMMEDIATE DEFENSIVE MEASURES IN DONETSK OBLAST (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Prioritize air defense in DONETSK OBLAST to COUNTER GUIDED AERIAL BOMB ATTACKS.
Issue immediate warnings to CIVILIANS to SEEK SHELTER.
Alert and prepare Ukrainian forces for POTENTIAL GROUND OFFENSIVES following AIR ATTACKS.
MAINTAIN ALL PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS (ADJUSTED PRIORITIES): All other recommendations remain in effect, with priorities adjusted as indicated.
The situation remains EXTREMELY CRITICAL AND RAPIDLY EVOLVING. The CONTINUED RUSSIAN AIR ATTACK, with its FOCUS ON DRONES and POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER MISSILE LAUNCHES, poses a SEVERE THREAT to UKRAINE. IMMEDIATE AND SUSTAINED ACTION is required to DEFEND AGAINST THE ATTACKS, PROTECT CIVILIANS, and MITIGATE DAMAGE. ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES must be MOBILIZED AND DEPLOYED EFFECTIVELY. The DETAILED TRACKING INFORMATION on DRONES AND MISSILES is CRITICAL for EFFECTIVE DEFENSE.
