The aerial campaign by the Russian Federation remains intense and geographically expansive. The ongoing "Shahed" drone attacks and cruise missile activity, particularly targeting Western Ukrainian oblasts such as Ternopil and Lutsk, continue to inflict damage on industrial and infrastructure facilities, as well as causing civilian casualties. The dynamic nature of the missile trajectories and the persistent drone waves highlight the strain on Ukrainian air defense systems.
Ukrainian deep strikes into Russian territory are confirmed by the continued reporting of fires at "oil facilities" in Engels, Saratov Oblast, though Russian sources attempt to downplay or recharacterize these as industrial incidents. The lifting of flight restrictions at Moscow's airports suggests a temporary normalization after the earlier drone attacks on the capital.
Russian information warfare remains highly active, employing provocative and dehumanizing rhetoric, particularly against Ukrainian cities and the populace. The repeated claims of successful Russian air defense, juxtaposed with reports of damage and casualties in Ukraine, underscore the deliberate shaping of narratives.
