Situation Update (UTC)

New facts below come from supplied messages timestamped 2026-10-04 20:31:30–20:59:02 UTC. A prior situation report and prior daily report are used only as clearly labeled historical baselines; their events are not re-reported as new and are not treated as independent corroboration. Source timestamps are publication times, not event times, unless a message explicitly states an event time. Weather figures come only from the supplied time-qualified weather context.

Key reported developments

  • Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast (Industrialnyi district) — updated official casualty and damage account after a reported double “Banderol” strike: Mayor Ihor Terekhov, citing the Situation Center, reported a double “Banderol” strike on Industrialnyi district, one person killed and six wounded, cars and an administrative building on fire, and about ten apartment buildings damaged, with rescue and search operations under way. РБК-Україна and Оперативний ЗСУ relayed the same mayor statement. (Event time not stated; sources Ігор Терехов, 2026-10-04 20:45:27; РБК-Україна, 2026-10-04 20:48:48; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:51:02; MEDIUM for the official account.)
  • Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast (Industrialnyi district) — additional medical seekers: Oblast administration head Oleh Syniehubov reported that a further four people sought medical help in Industrialnyi district and that all are receiving medical assistance. This is a separate count from the mayor’s six wounded and is not reconciled with it in the supplied messages. (Event time not stated; source Олег Синєгубов, начальник Харківської ОДА, 2026-10-04 20:53:38; MEDIUM for the official statement.)
  • Kyiv city and Kyiv Oblast — drone-threat alert and jet-UAV tracking: КМВА (Kyiv City Military Administration) announced a yellow-level danger and an air-raid alert over a drone threat, urging residents to shelters; Оперативний ЗСУ relayed a Kyiv UAV-threat alert. The Ukrainian Air Force separately reported a jet-powered UAV heading toward Velyka Dymerka/Kyiv, a jet-powered UAV north of Kyiv heading west, and a jet-powered UAV in eastern Kyiv Oblast on a south-western heading. These are threat notices and tracking reports, not confirmed impacts or interceptions. (Sources КМВА, 2026-10-04 20:32:41; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:33:43; Повітряні Сили ЗС України, 2026-10-04 20:32:32, 20:38:25 and 20:43:06; MEDIUM for notices, LOW for effects.)
  • Claimed Russian advance north of Nikanorovka, near Slavyansk, Donetsk Oblast: Сливочный каприз posted a geolocated photo-map composite dated 03.10.26 claiming positional fighting near Slavyansk, a Russian serviceman struck by Ukrainian fire on the Artemovsk–Slavyansk highway near Nikanorovka, and a Russian advance of more than 2 km with an expanded control zone north of the settlement; coordinates given as 48.78348,37.76768. The supplied assessment rates the post LOW because it is a single-source annotated composite with no raw strike imagery, an ambiguous inset, and map control-marker dates that conflict with the caption date. (Event date conflict: caption 03.10.26 against map labels spanning April–August 2026; source Сливочный каприз, 2026-10-04 20:34:38 and 20:34:39; LOW/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Claimed Russian use of AI-guided “Lis” interceptor drones over the Kursk border area: Colonelcassad relayed an @epoddubny video and caption claiming “Sever” group air-defense/mobile fire-group elements in the Kursk border area used an AI-equipped “Lis” interceptor against Ukrainian “Chaika” strike drones, and that “Lis” can also counter reconnaissance UAVs, large hexacopters and long-range loitering munitions. The supplied material is a single video item with no geolocation, timestamps, unit markings or engagement telemetry. (Event time not stated; source Colonelcassad, 2026-10-04 20:46:01 and 20:46:02; LOW-to-MEDIUM/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Claimed balloon-launched drone attack on the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway: Exilenova+ posted a photo of a downed small FPV-type drone beside a paved road with an editor-added red box and arrow labeling a component as a Starlink satellite terminal. The caption claims dozens of balloons flew from the right bank of the Dnieper and dropped “Hornet-2” strike drones and FPV copters fitted with Starlink antennas. The photo itself corroborates only a downed small drone; the label is an overlay and is not forensically established. (Event described only as “today”; source Exilenova+, 2026-10-04 20:53:19 and 20:53:20; LOW/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Latvian parliamentary election result relayed by a Ukrainian channel: Оперативний ЗСУ posted an image of a Latvian results table and text reporting that Apvienotais saraksts (“United List”) won 41 of 100 Saeima seats, with five further parties passing the threshold (Latvija Pirmajā Vietā 13.076%/17 seats, Suverēnā Vara/Apvienība Jaunlatvieši 11.710%/15 seats, Nacionālā apvienība 8.897%/10 seats, Progresīvie 7.879%/10 seats, Jaunā Vienotība 6.362%/7 seats). The supplied assessment notes the post’s added framing that the winner is “pro-Ukrainian” and that Andris Kulbergs is incumbent prime minister is not supported by the attached table, which carries no visible date, official commission logo or source. (Event date not stated in the supplied material; source Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:32:33 and 20:32:34; MEDIUM for the image/table figures, LOW for the political attribution.)
  • Out-of-theatre items in this batch: Colonelcassad relayed video and caption claiming Houthi forces entering At-Turba, Taiz Governorate, Yemen (sources 2026-10-04 20:31:30 and 20:31:31; MEDIUM for visible convoy footage, LOW for the strategic encirclement/flee claims), and ТАСС relayed unrelated reports on Swiss fraud cases linked to Ukrainian call centers (per Neue Zürcher Zeitung) and on the Flydubai in-flight incident investigation (sources 2026-10-04 20:47:01 and 20:55:25). None of these are reported as Russo-Ukrainian battlefield developments.

Reported situation by area

  • Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast (Industrialnyi district): New messages extend the earlier strike accounts. Mayor Terekhov’s updated statement describes a double “Banderol” strike, one killed and six wounded, fires in cars and an administrative building, and damage to about ten apartment buildings, with rescue and search operations continuing; РБК-Україна and Оперативний ЗСУ relay the same mayor account. Oblast head Syniehubov separately reported four additional people seeking medical help in Industrialnyi district. The two counts are reported separately in the supplied messages and are not reconciled. The previously reported conflicting figures (earlier mayor “two killed” versus earlier oblast “two injured”/“one killed”) are historical baseline and are superseded in this batch by the mayor’s updated one killed and six wounded account. (Sources Ігор Терехов, 2026-10-04 20:45:27; РБК-Україна, 2026-10-04 20:48:48; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:51:02; Олег Синєгубов, 2026-10-04 20:53:38; MEDIUM for official accounts, LOW for any consolidated total.)
  • Kyiv city and Kyiv Oblast: КМВА declared a yellow danger level and an air alert over a drone threat; Оперативний ЗСУ relayed a Kyiv UAV-threat alert. Air Force notices tracked a jet-powered UAV toward Velyka Dymerka/Kyiv, one north of Kyiv heading west, and one in eastern Kyiv Oblast heading south-west. No impact, interception or damage report is supplied for these notices. Baseline Kyiv bridge and utility reporting is not re-reported as new. (Sources КМВА, 2026-10-04 20:32:41; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:33:43; Повітряні Сили ЗС України, 2026-10-04 20:32:32, 20:38:25 and 20:43:06; MEDIUM for notices, LOW for effects.)
  • Slavyansk / Nikanorovka axis, Donetsk Oblast: A single pro-Russian channel claims positional fighting near Slavyansk, Ukrainian fire on a Russian serviceman near Nikanorovka on the Artemovsk–Slavyansk highway, and a Russian advance of more than 2 km with an expanded control zone north of the settlement. The post is a geolocated annotated composite with conflicting map dates and no raw strike imagery; the supplied assessment rates it LOW. No independent confirmation appears in the batch. (Source Сливочный каприз, 2026-10-04 20:34:38 and 20:34:39; LOW/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Kursk border area, Russia: A single milblogger item relayed by Colonelcassad claims “Sever” group air-defense/mobile fire groups used an AI-equipped “Lis” interceptor against Ukrainian “Chaika” strike drones. No location, date, unit markings or engagement data are supplied. (Source Colonelcassad, 2026-10-04 20:46:01 and 20:46:02; LOW-to-MEDIUM/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • R-280 “Novorossiya” highway: A single Exilenova+ post claims dozens of balloons launched from the right bank of the Dnieper dropped “Hornet-2” and Starlink-equipped FPV drones onto the route. The attached photo shows only one downed small FPV-type drone with an editor-added label; no road marker, balloon, launch platform or debris field is visible. (Source Exilenova+, 2026-10-04 20:53:19 and 20:53:20; LOW/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Kharkiv Oblast (eastern) threat notice: The Ukrainian Air Force reported a UAV in eastern Kharkiv Oblast heading south. No impact or damage report is supplied. (Source Повітряні Сили ЗС України, 2026-10-04 20:46:25; MEDIUM for notice, LOW for effects.)
  • Zhytomyr Oblast (eastern): The Air Force reported a jet-powered UAV in eastern Zhytomyr Oblast heading west. No impact or damage report is supplied. (Source Повітряні Сили ЗС України, 2026-10-04 20:47:26; MEDIUM for notice, LOW for effects.)
  • Other areas: No new supported area-specific information was supplied for Luhansk, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Chernihiv or other sectors in this batch. Their absence from these messages does not establish that they are quiet or unchanged.

Reported strikes and air-defense activity

  • Reported Russian strike on Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast (Industrialnyi district): Mayor Terekhov, relayed by РБК-Україна and Оперативний ЗСУ, described a reported double “Banderol” strike with one killed and six wounded, fires in cars and an administrative building, and about ten apartment buildings damaged, with rescue work ongoing. The weapon type is reported by Ukrainian officials and is not independently verified in the supplied material. (Sources Ігор Терехов, 2026-10-04 20:45:27; РБК-Україна, 2026-10-04 20:48:48; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:51:02; MEDIUM for official reports, LOW for weapon type.)
  • Claimed Russian air-defense/interceptor activity in the Kursk border area: An @epoddubny item relayed by Colonelcassad claims “Lis” AI-guided interceptor drones engaged Ukrainian “Chaika” strike drones, with broader claims about countering reconnaissance UAVs, hexacopters and long-range loitering munitions. Single-source, caption-driven, no verifiable geolocation, timing or kill-chain evidence. (Source Colonelcassad, 2026-10-04 20:46:01 and 20:46:02; LOW-to-MEDIUM/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Claimed Ukrainian balloon-launched drone activity: Exilenova+ claims a mass balloon-launched strike on the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway using “Hornet-2” drones and Starlink-equipped FPVs, illustrated by one downed FPV photo with an annotated Starlink label. Only the existence of a downed small drone is visible; the Starlink attribution, launch method, date and location are not independently verified. (Source Exilenova+, 2026-10-04 20:53:19 and 20:53:20; LOW/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Ukrainian Air Force threat notices and tracking: Notices covered a jet-powered UAV heading toward Velyka Dymerka/Kyiv, a jet-powered UAV north of Kyiv heading west, a jet-powered UAV in eastern Kyiv Oblast heading south-west, a UAV in eastern Kharkiv Oblast heading south, and a jet-powered UAV in eastern Zhytomyr Oblast heading west. КМВА and Оперативний ЗСУ issued Kyiv alert messages over a drone threat. No confirmed interception, impact or damage result is supplied for these notices. (Sources Повітряні Сили ЗС України, 2026-10-04 20:32:32, 20:38:25, 20:43:06, 20:46:25 and 20:47:26; КМВА, 2026-10-04 20:32:41; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:33:43; MEDIUM for notices, LOW for effects.)

Reported Russian activity

  • Russian-aligned claims of interceptor use over the Kursk border area: Colonelcassad relayed @epoddubny claiming “Sever” group air-defense/mobile fire groups used AI-equipped “Lis” interceptors against Ukrainian “Chaika” strike drones and that “Lis” can counter reconnaissance UAVs, large hexacopters and long-range loitering munitions. Single-source, caption-driven, unverified. (Source Colonelcassad, 2026-10-04 20:46:01 and 20:46:02; LOW-to-MEDIUM/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Claimed Russian progress on the Slavyansk/Nikanorovka axis: The Сливочный каприз post claims positional fighting near Slavyansk, Ukrainian fire on a Russian serviceman near Nikanorovka on the Artemovsk–Slavyansk highway, and a Russian advance of more than 2 km with an expanded control zone north of the settlement. The supplied assessment flags a conflict between the caption date and the map’s control-marker dates and rates the claim LOW. (Source Сливочный каприз, 2026-10-04 20:34:38 and 20:34:39; LOW/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Russian-aligned digest material: Рыбарь posted a 4 October digest of its own materials, listing topics that include “the chronicle of the SMO,” “strikes on Kyiv bridges,” airship-barrage problems, battlefield-control questions, and other regional items. The digest summarizes claimed coverage rather than presenting new primary evidence; no verifiable new event detail is supplied, and its references are not independent corroboration. (Source Рыбарь, 2026-10-04 20:59:02; LOW for operational substance.)
  • Out-of-theatre Russian-aligned relays: Colonelcassad relayed video and caption claiming Houthi forces entering At-Turba, Taiz Governorate, Yemen and asserting an encirclement and flight narrative at Taiz. These are not Russo-Ukrainian battlefield developments; the convoy footage is consistent with the core entry claim, but the encirclement and flight assertions are not visible in the clip. (Sources Colonelcassad, 2026-10-04 20:31:30 and 20:31:31; MEDIUM for visible convoy footage, LOW for strategic claims.)
  • Limited-value Russian-state items: ТАСС relayed an NZZ report on Swiss fraud cases linked to Ukrainian call centers and an NBC-sourced report on the Flydubai in-flight incident; neither is a battlefield development. (Sources ТАСС, 2026-10-04 20:47:01 and 20:55:25; MEDIUM for the relayed statements, LOW for Ukraine-war relevance.)

Reported Ukrainian activity

  • Ukrainian official casualty and damage reporting in Kharkiv: Mayor Terekhov’s updated statement (relayed by РБК-Україна and Оперативний ЗСУ) describes a double “Banderol” strike, one killed, six wounded, fires in cars and an administrative building, and about ten apartment buildings damaged; Oblast head Syniehubov separately reported four additional people seeking medical help in Industrialnyi district. These official Ukrainian accounts are published separately and are not reconciled in this batch. (Sources Ігор Терехов, 2026-10-04 20:45:27; РБК-Україна, 2026-10-04 20:48:48; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:51:02; Олег Синєгубов, 2026-10-04 20:53:38; MEDIUM for official statements, LOW for a single consolidated total.)
  • Ukrainian Air Force threat notices and Kyiv alert messages: Multiple notices covered jet-UAV threats tied to Kyiv, Kyiv Oblast, Zhytomyr Oblast and Kharkiv Oblast; КМВА and Оперативний ЗСУ issued Kyiv alert messages over a drone threat. Publication does not establish an impact or interception. (Sources Повітряні Сили ЗС України, 2026-10-04 20:32:32, 20:38:25, 20:43:06, 20:46:25 and 20:47:26; КМВА, 2026-10-04 20:32:41; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:33:43; MEDIUM for notices, LOW for effects.)
  • Claimed Ukrainian drone activity on the R-280 corridor: The Exilenova+ caption attributes the claimed balloon-launched strike to drones “flying from the right bank of the Dnieper,” which would imply Ukrainian origin; the claim is single-source and its supporting photo does not establish the launch method, systems or route. (Source Exilenova+, 2026-10-04 20:53:19 and 20:53:20; LOW/UNCONFIRMED.)
  • Ukrainian channel relay of Latvian election results: Оперативний ЗСУ posted a Latvian results table showing Apvienotais saraksts at 41 of 100 Saeima seats and five other parties passing the threshold, with added political framing not supported by the attached image. This is a foreign political item, not a battlefield development. (Source Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:32:33 and 20:32:34; MEDIUM for the table figures, LOW for the political attribution.)

Civilian and infrastructure impact

  • Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast (Industrialnyi district): Official Ukrainian accounts in this batch report one person killed and six wounded from the reported double “Banderol” strike, with cars and an administrative building on fire and about ten apartment buildings damaged; rescue and search operations were continuing. Oblast head Syniehubov separately reported four additional people seeking medical help in the same district. No displacement or broader service-disruption figures are supplied, and the two medical counts are not reconciled. (Sources Ігор Терехов, 2026-10-04 20:45:27; РБК-Україна, 2026-10-04 20:48:48; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:51:02; Олег Синєгубов, 2026-10-04 20:53:38; MEDIUM for official reports, LOW for any consolidated casualty total.)
  • Kyiv city and other notified areas: Kyiv alerts and Air Force notices across Kyiv city, Kyiv Oblast, Zhytomyr Oblast and eastern Kharkiv Oblast describe threats only. No confirmed civilian casualties, infrastructure damage, displacement or service disruption are supplied for those notices in this batch.
  • No other supported civilian casualty, displacement or service-disruption figures are supplied for other areas in this batch.

Information environment and disputed claims

  • Kharkiv casualty and impact account is updated but still not fully reconciled across sources: The mayor’s latest statement (relayed by РБК-Україна and Оперативний ЗСУ) gives one killed and six wounded, car and administrative-building fires, and about ten apartment buildings damaged; Oblast head Syniehubov separately reports four further people seeking medical help. The two figures are not merged in the supplied messages, and no consolidated official total appears. (Sources Ігор Терехов, 2026-10-04 20:45:27; РБК-Україна, 2026-10-04 20:48:48; Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:51:02; Олег Синєгубов, 2026-10-04 20:53:38; LOW for a single consolidated casualty total.)
  • Nikanorovka/Slavyansk composite carries internal date contradictions: The post caption is dated 03.10.26, while the same composite’s map control-marker labels span dates in April–August 2026. The supplied assessment treats this as a major reliability red flag and rates the claims of Russian advance, Ukrainian fire on a Russian serviceman, and expanded control as LOW/UNCONFIRMED. (Source Сливочный каприз, 2026-10-04 20:34:38 and 20:34:39; LOW.)
  • “Lis”/“Chaika” interceptor claim uses capability framing rather than measurable evidence: The @epoddubny caption relayed by Colonelcassad leans on terms like “AI,” “all-weather,” and “everything within reach,” with no geolocation, timestamp, unit markings or engagement telemetry in the supplied item. The supplied assessment notes typical interceptor-promotion and morale framing. (Source Colonelcassad, 2026-10-04 20:46:01 and 20:46:02; LOW-to-MEDIUM.)
  • R-280 balloon/Starlink claim mixes one visible photo with broader unverified narrative: The image shows a downed small FPV-type drone with an editor-added red box and arrow labeling a component as a Starlink terminal; the caption’s claims of dozens of balloons, a launch from the right bank of the Dnieper, “Hornet-2” drones and FPVs with Starlink antennas are text-only. The supplied assessment flags the Starlink label as an overlay that could be misidentification and notes the emotive wording and emoji as narrative framing. (Source Exilenova+, 2026-10-04 20:53:19 and 20:53:20; LOW.)
  • Latvian election post mixes verified table figures with unverified political framing: The attached table’s figures (notably Apvienotais saraksts 41 of 100 seats) match the post text, and the seat totals sum to 100. However, the post’s claims that the winner is “pro-Ukrainian” and that Andris Kulbergs is incumbent prime minister are not supported by the attached image, which carries no visible date, official commission logo, or source. (Source Оперативний ЗСУ, 2026-10-04 20:32:33 and 20:32:34; MEDIUM for table figures, LOW for political attribution.)
  • Houthi At-Turba post blends visible convoy footage with unverified strategic narrative: The clip is consistent with armed personnel and technicals moving through a town in a manner consistent with the entry claim, but the caption’s assertions about cutting off a Saudi-led grouping and mass flight toward the sea are interpretive and not visible in the footage. The item is outside the Russo-Ukrainian battlefield scope. (Source Colonelcassad, 2026-10-04 20:31:30 and 20:31:31; MEDIUM for visible convoy footage, LOW for strategic claims.)
  • Рыбарь digest references claimed Kyiv bridge strikes but supplies no new primary evidence: The 4 October digest lists topics including strikes on Kyiv bridges, airship-barrage problems, and battlefield-control disputes, but the message is a self-promotional topic list rather than new verified detail; the digest is not independent corroboration of any specific strike. (Source Рыбарь, 2026-10-04 20:59:02; LOW for operational substance.)
  • Analytic-support metadata: The supplied Dempster-Shafer belief set is led by Uncertainty at 0.728169, with much smaller values for Drone Strike by Ukraine on civilian infrastructure in Industrial District (0.034286), Houthi advance in At-Turba, Taiz (0.032551), Drone Strike by Russia on civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv (0.030108), AI-guided “Lis” interceptor use by Russia (0.018988), Russian drone strike on Ukrainian “Chaika” strike drones in the Kursk border area (0.018988), financial crime incident in Switzerland (0.017143), and Houthi blockade of Taiz (0.014286), among other small values. These are analytic weightings, not independent corroboration, and are not counted as verification of any claim above.

Evidence limitations and unresolved questions

  • Event times are missing for nearly all new items. The Kharkiv Industrialnyi strike, the claimed Nikanorovka/Slavyansk fighting, the “Lis”/“Chaika” engagement, the R-280 balloon-launch claim and the Houthi At-Turba entry have no stated event times; the Nikanorovka post carries a caption date (03.10.26) that conflicts with its own map’s control-marker dates. Source timestamps are publication times, not event times.
  • Single-source and partisan sourcing dominates. The Nikanorovka advance, the “Lis” interceptor claim, the R-280 balloon/Starlink claim, the Houthi At-Turba narrative and the Latvian election political framing each rest on one channel or post without independent corroboration. The Рыбарь digest is a self-promotional topic list, not primary evidence.
  • Kharkiv casualty figures are reported separately and not reconciled. The mayor’s updated account (one killed, six wounded) and Oblast head Syniehubov’s separately reported four additional medical seekers are not combined in the supplied messages, and no consolidated official total appears.
  • Visual evidence is limited. The R-280 photo shows only a downed small drone with an editor-added Starlink label; the Nikanorovka post is an annotated map composite with an ambiguous inset and no raw strike imagery; the “Lis” item is a single caption-driven video with no extractable frames or metadata; the Latvian post is a screenshot with no date or official commission branding.
  • No consolidated frontline picture and no primary documentation. No Russian MoD bulletin beyond prior baseline material, no SBU statement, no Kharkiv city or oblast consolidated damage assessment, and no official Ukrainian confirmation of the R-280 or “Lis” claims were supplied in this batch. The new messages do not establish a verified daily boundary change, control change or cumulative strike total for any sector. Areas absent from this batch are not established to be quiet or unchanged. The prior situation report and prior daily report are used only as labeled historical baselines and are not independent corroboration of any new item.
  • Weather context (supplied, not linked to any reported event): As of 2026-10-04T21:00 UTC, supplied frontline observations were: Kharkiv/Vovchansk 10.7 °C, overcast, wind 0.9 m/s, cloud 97%, 0.0 mm precipitation; Luhansk/Svatove 9.8 °C, overcast, wind 0.9 m/s, cloud 94%, 0.0 mm; Donetsk/Pokrovsk 9.4 °C, overcast, wind 0.9 m/s, cloud 88%, 0.0 mm; Zaporizhzhia/Orikhiv 9.4 °C, partly cloudy, wind 1.1 m/s, cloud 57%, 0.0 mm; Kherson 10.9 °C, clear, wind 1.3 m/s, cloud 3%, 0.0 mm. The supplied daily forecast for 2026-10-04 gives Kharkiv/Vovchansk min/max 6.1/15.3 °C, 0.0 mm precipitation, wind max 2.6 m/s; Luhansk/Svatove 4.5/16.7 °C, 0.0 mm, wind max 3.5 m/s; Donetsk/Pokrovsk 3.8/17.2 °C, 0.0 mm, wind max 3.4 m/s; Zaporizhzhia/Orikhiv 4.9/18.9 °C, 0.0 mm, wind max 3.5 m/s; Kherson 7.3/20.4 °C, 0.0 mm, wind max 3.1 m/s. These observations are not tied to any reported event and do not establish conditions at any strike site.
