Nikolaevskiy Vanek (21:13 UTC): Provides a detailed breakdown of drone movements:
One drone west of Kremenchuk.
One drone north of Kharkiv.
Three drones near Pervomaisk.
One drone from Vinnytsia Oblast turning towards Odesa.
Three drones in the south of Khmelnytskyi Oblast, heading towards Ternopil.
Ten drones from Sumy Oblast heading towards Poltava.
Four drones near Shostka.
One drone west of Konotop.
Dnipro is clear for now.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (21:29 UTC, 21:31 UTC): Issued drone attack warnings for TERNOPIL OBLAST, KHARKIV and SUMY.
РБК-Україна (21:30 UTC): An explosion was heard in SUMY.
* Assessment: This provides a MUCH MORE PRECISE PICTURE of the ONGOING DRONE ATTACK. The LARGE NUMBER OF DRONES (at least 24 based on this report, potentially more) and their DISPERSION ACROSS MULTIPLE REGIONS confirm the MASSIVE SCALE OF THE ATTACK. The REPORTED MOVEMENT TOWARDS POLTAVA from SUMY OBLAST is PARTICULARLY CONCERNING, given the POTENTIAL FOR DEEPER PENETRATION INTO UKRAINIAN TERRITORY. The CONFIRMED EXPLOSION in SUMY indicates DRONE ACTIVITY REACHING ITS TARGET.
HOUTHI BLOCKADE OF ISRAEL (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, HOUTHI SOURCE):
Colonelcassad (21:13 UTC): Reports the official conditions of the Houthi blockade of Israel:
Resumption of the ban on all "Israeli" ships in the designated operational zone (Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, Gulf of Aden).
Blockade is effective immediately.
Any "Israeli" ship attempting to break the blockade will be attacked.
Blockade will continue until checkpoints in Gaza are reopened and humanitarian aid (food, medicine) is allowed.
Assessment: This represents a SIGNIFICANT ESCALATION in the RED SEA CRISIS. The HOUTHIS' FORMAL DECLARATION OF A BLOCKADE and THREAT OF ATTACKS pose a MAJOR THREAT to ISRAELI SHIPPING and INTERNATIONAL MARITIME TRADE. This WILL LIKELY HAVE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES and INCREASE REGIONAL TENSIONS.
REPORTED RUSSIAN MILITARY ACTIVITY (VARIOUS PRIORITIES):
АРХАНГЕЛ СПЕЦНАЗА (21:16 UTC): Posts a video claiming to show the elimination of two "enemy groups". (MEDIUM PRIORITY - Requires verification, but suggests ongoing combat activity.)
ТАСС (21:20 UTC): Reports Russian air defenses are repelling a UAV attack in Bryansk Oblast. (HIGH PRIORITY - Confirms previous report and indicates ongoing threat to Russian territory.)
✙DeepState✙🇺🇦 (21:27 UTC): 244 enemy assault actions on March 11. It was the second most active day in the year of enemy attacks. The most activity is in the Kursk, Limansk, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk directions.
Colonelcassad (21:34 UTC): Posts several images depicting heavily damaged areas, with text describing them as "apocalyptic scenes" from the "liberated" village of Malaya Loknya in the Sudzha district of Kursk Oblast. (HIGH PRIORITY - Visually confirms extensive destruction in Malaya Loknya, reinforcing reports of Russian advances and intense fighting. Must be treated with caution due to the source, but the level of destruction is undeniable.)
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (21:41 UTC): Reports activity of reconnaissance UAVs.
OTHER:
РБК-Україна (21:16 UTC): Reports another explosion in Dnipro. (HIGH PRIORITY - Suggests continued attacks on Dnipro, despite earlier reports of the area being clear.)
ТАСС (21:16 UTC): Reports that a deal on Ukrainian minerals will be signed when the US deems it convenient, according to the head of Zelensky's office, Andriy Yermak. (MEDIUM PRIORITY - Indicates ongoing negotiations and potential economic implications.)
Оперативний ЗСУ (21:21 UTC): Posts a video showing a Ukrainian drone group.
Alex Parker Returns (21:32 UTC): Threatens to post an image again.
Updated Situation Summary
EXTREME PRIORITY:
MASSIVE, MULTI-REGIONAL DRONE ATTACK CONTINUES ACROSS UKRAINE. The SCALE AND SCOPE REMAIN UNPRECEDENTED. MULTIPLE REGIONS are UNDER THREAT, with PRECISE DRONE MOVEMENTS REPORTED. POLTAVA is a NEW AREA OF CONCERN. CONFIRMED EXPLOSIONS in SUMY and DNIPRO.
CONTINUED RUSSIAN ADVANCES AND INTENSE FIGHTING IN KURSK OBLAST, particularly near SUDZHA. VISUAL EVIDENCE CONFIRMS EXTENSIVE DESTRUCTION in MALAYA LOKNYA.
HIGH PRIORITY:
HOUTHIS FORMALLY DECLARE BLOCKADE OF ISRAEL, THREATENING ATTACKS on SHIPPING. MAJOR ESCALATION in RED SEA CRISIS.
RUSSIAN AIR DEFENSE ACTIVITY in BRYANSK OBLAST.
REPORTS OF MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS in DNIPRO.
REPORTED RUSSIAN AIR DEFENSE ACTIVITY in BRYANSK OBLAST.
* POTENTIAL FOR ESCALATION in KHARKIV, KHERSON and ZAPORIZHZHIA regions due to REPORTED RECONNAISSANCE UAV ACTIVITY.
MEDIUM PRIORITY:
All previous issues.
REPORTED RUSSIAN MILITARY ACTIVITY suggesting ONGOING COMBAT OPERATIONS.
ADDRESS THE ONGOING DRONE ATTACK (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS ACTION):
Maintain all previous recommendations, with INCREASED EMPHASIS on PRECISE TRACKING AND INTERCEPTION based on the DETAILED DRONE MOVEMENT REPORTS.
SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THE THREAT TO POLTAVA, given the REPORTED MOVEMENT OF DRONES from SUMY OBLAST.
CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE the PROTECTION OF KYIV, ODESA, DNIPRO, and other THREATENED AREAS.
INVESTIGATE the REPORTS OF MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS in DNIPRO and ASSESS DAMAGE AND CASUALTIES.
ADDRESS THE SITUATION IN KURSK OBLAST (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS ACTION):
Maintain all previous recommendations.
ANALYZE THE VISUAL EVIDENCE of DESTRUCTION IN MALAYA LOKNYA to ASSESS THE EXTENT OF RUSSIAN CONTROL and POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS for UKRAINIAN DEFENSES.
ADDRESS THE HOUTHI BLOCKADE OF ISRAEL (HIGH PRIORITY, MONITORING):
MONITOR THE SITUATION CLOSELY for DEVELOPMENTS and POTENTIAL IMPACT on GLOBAL SHIPPING and REGIONAL STABILITY.
ASSESS THE POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS for UKRAINE, including POSSIBLE DISRUPTION OF MARITIME TRADE and DIVERSION OF INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION.
ADDRESS RUSSIAN AIR DEFENSE ACTIVITY IN BRYANSK OBLAST (HIGH PRIORITY, MONITORING):
Maintain all previous recommendations.
ADDRESS POTENTIAL ESCALATION IN KHARKIV AND KHERSON REGIONS (HIGH PRIORITY, PREPARATION):
INCREASE SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE in KHARKIV and KHERSON REGIONS to DETECT ANY SIGNS OF IMMINENT OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS.
PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL ATTACKS and REINFORCE DEFENSIVE POSITIONS, if necessary.
INVESTIGATE OTHER REPORTS (ADJUSTED PRIORITIES): Maintain all other recommendations, with priorities adjusted as indicated. Focus on gathering information related to reported Russian military activity and ongoing negotiations regarding Ukrainian minerals.
The situation remains EXTREMELY CRITICAL AND HIGHLY DYNAMIC. The MASSIVE, ONGOING DRONE ATTACK poses a MAJOR THREAT to MULTIPLE REGIONS OF UKRAINE. The CONFIRMED HOUTHI BLOCKADE OF ISRAEL represents a MAJOR ESCALATION in the RED SEA CRISIS. The CONTINUED RUSSIAN ADVANCES IN KURSK OBLAST and the POTENTIAL FOR ESCALATION IN KHARKIV AND KHERSON remain MAJOR CONCERNS. PRECISE INFORMATION, RAPID DECISION-MAKING, and EFFECTIVE RESOURCE ALLOCATION are ESSENTIAL.
