Archived operational intelligence briefing
CONFIRMED RUSSIAN GUIDED AERIAL BOMB ATTACKS ON NORTHERN KHARKIV OBLAST (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (01:03 UTC): Reports launches of guided aerial bombs by Russian tactical aviation in the north of Kharkiv Oblast.
РБК-Україна (01:03 UTC): Confirms the same, citing the Air Force.
Assessment: This CONFIRMS RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES using GUIDED AERIAL BOMBS in NORTHERN KHARKIV OBLAST. This is a CONTINUATION of PREVIOUS RUSSIAN TACTICS, targeting UKRAINIAN POSITIONS and potentially INFRASTRUCTURE.
CLAIMED RUSSIAN DESTRUCTION OF UKRAINIAN SELF-PROPELLED HOWITZER (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE, VIDEO EVIDENCE):
Воин DV (01:03 UTC): Provides video claiming to show the destruction of a Ukrainian 152-mm 2S3 "Akatsiya" self-propelled howitzer (SPH) using a "Lancet" loitering munition in the Kupyansk direction.
Assessment: The video APPEARS TO SHOW a SUCCESSFUL STRIKE on an ARTILLERY PIECE, CONSISTENT WITH THE CLAIM. However, INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION is REQUIRED to CONFIRM the TYPE OF ARTILLERY, the LOCATION, and that it was UKRAINIAN. If CONFIRMED, this represents a TACTICAL LOSS for UKRAINE and DEMONSTRATES RUSSIAN CAPABILITY to TARGET AND DESTROY UKRAINIAN ARTILLERY using LOITERING MUNITIONS.
REPORTED RUSSIAN STRIKE ON OIL DEPOT IN ORELSKOE (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE, PHOTO EVIDENCE):
АРХАНГЕЛ СПЕЦНАЗА (01:04 UTC): Reports a Russian strike on an oil depot in Orelskoe, northeast of Dnipro. Provides photos showing a large fire and smoke plume. Claims the fire is visible from Dnipro. Provides coordinates: 48°35'38"N 34°49'21"E.
Assessment: The PHOTOS SUPPORT THE CLAIM of a LARGE FIRE, CONSISTENT WITH A STRIKE ON AN OIL DEPOT. INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION is REQUIRED to CONFIRM the TARGET and the CAUSE OF THE FIRE. If CONFIRMED, this is a SIGNIFICANT STRIKE, potentially IMPACTING UKRAINIAN FUEL SUPPLIES and LOGISTICS. The LOCATION, NORTHEAST OF DNIPRO, puts it RELATIVELY DEEP INSIDE UKRAINIAN-CONTROLLED TERRITORY.
CLAIMED FIRST FLIGHT OF SJ-100 WITH DOMESTIC RUSSIAN ENGINES (LOW PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
Colonelcassad (01:05 UTC): Reports the first flight of an SJ-100 aircraft with domestically produced PD-8 engines in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
Assessment: This is NOT DIRECTLY RELATED to the MILITARY SITUATION in UKRAINE, but INDICATES RUSSIAN EFFORTS to REDUCE RELIANCE ON WESTERN TECHNOLOGY in AVIATION.
REPORTED EMBEZZLEMENT BY KHABAROVSK POLICE (LOW PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
FINAL DRONE REPORTED HEADING TOWARDS CHERKASY (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
Nikolaevskiy Vanyok (01:22 UTC): Reports that the last drone from Kirovohrad Oblast is also heading towards Cherkasy. States that after the all-clear, people can sleep.
Assessment: This REINFORCES THE PREVIOUS REPORTS of a CONCENTRATED DRONE THREAT to CHERKASY. The IMPLICATION is that this is the LAST DRONE in this WAVE OF ATTACKS.
HAMAS CLAIM OF ISRAELI CEASEFIRE VIOLATION (LOW PRIORITY, REPORTED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
* **Assessment:** These reports are *RELATED TO THE ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT*, *NOT DIRECTLY TO UKRAINE*. However, they *COULD HAVE INDIRECT IMPLICATIONS* if they *LEAD TO INCREASED INSTABILITY* in the *MIDDLE EAST*, potentially *DIVERTING US ATTENTION AND RESOURCES*.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (01:26 UTC): Currently, the enemy attack UAV is observed in the southeast of Cherkasy.
EXTREME PRIORITY:
HIGH PRIORITY:
RUSSIAN STRIKE ON OIL DEPOT IN ORELSKOE.
CLAIMED RUSSIAN DESTRUCTION OF UKRAINIAN SELF-PROPELLED HOWITZER.
MEDIUM PRIORITY:
COUNTER THE RENEWED DRONE THREAT TO CHERKASY (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
ADDRESS THE RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES IN NORTHERN KHARKIV OBLAST (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
VERIFY AND ASSESS THE REPORTED STRIKE ON THE OIL DEPOT IN ORELSKOE (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
VERIFY AND ASSESS THE CLAIMED DESTRUCTION OF THE UKRAINIAN SPH (MEDIUM PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
ANALYZE THE CAPTURED "BRADLEY" IFVS (MEDIUM PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
VERIFY RUSSIAN CLAIMS IN KURSK OBLAST (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION) (UNCHANGED).
ANALYZE RUSSIAN VIDEO FOOTAGE (MEDIUM PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION) (UNCHANGED).
MONITOR US MILITARY ACTIVITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST (MEDIUM PRIORITY, ONGOING ACTION) (UNCHANGED).
INVESTIGATE THE NEW REPORTS (LOW PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
The situation remains EXTREMELY CRITICAL AND DYNAMIC. The CONTINUED DRONE ATTACK, particularly the RENEWED THREAT TO CHERKASY, requires IMMEDIATE AND FOCUSED ACTION. The CONFIRMED AIRSTRIKES in NORTHERN KHARKIV OBLAST and the REPORTED STRIKE ON THE OIL DEPOT represent SIGNIFICANT ESCALATIONS. VERIFICATION of CLAIMS and CONTINUOUS MONITORING remain PARAMOUNT.
