Assessed: Russian forces are likely continuing massed low-cost UAV, jet/reactive UAV, loitering-munition, KAB, and precision-strike operations to stress Ukrainian air defense, rear logistics, fuel infrastructure, and port nodes. DS support: Uncertainty at 0.259202. (08:27–08:58 UTC, Повітряні Сили ЗС України; РБК-Україна; Операция Z, confidence MEDIUM for pattern; HIGH for official reporting)
