At least one Ukrainian UAV impacted the Tambov Gunpowder Plant in the city of Kotovsk, Tambov Oblast.
The Tambov Gunpowder Plant specialises in the production of Pyroxylin powders and related products for both civilian and military purposes. It's a part of the Rostec state corporation and completes contracts for the Russian Ministry of Defence, as well as other customers.
The Pyroxylin powders produced are used for many different types of weapons, including artillery systems of all calibers and armor piercing sub-caliber rounds for tank artillery. The plant also produces certain brands of powders which are exclusively produced there for Russia.
This plant was previously attacked in November 2023 and July 2024. Since the beginning of the war, and the expansion of Russia's military-industrial complex, the plant has undergone significant expansion and modernisation, with several new facilities being constructed, while others were upgraded to help serve significantly increasing demands.
As a result of the strike, one UAV impacted one of the new facilities constructed after the beginning of the war. A large fire broke out at the impact site, and secondary detonations from the gunpowder continued through the morning hours.
Impact coordinates: 52.58951, 41.52334

Last night, at least 18 Russian Geran-2 drones attacked Kharkiv City. At least 15 impacts were recorded, most of which were in the industrial areas of the Slobidskyi and Osnovyansky District. Among the targets were a factory, and a number of smaller enterprises.
Debris from one of the ~3 intercepted Gerans fell on a high-rise residential building, resulting in a large fire breaking out which killed 3 people and wounded many others.

2 of the 3 Tu-95s stationed at Engels-2 Airbase in Saratov Oblast have been equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles, while 2 of the Tu-95s at Ukrainka Airbase in Amur Oblast have also been equipped.
Itβs clear now that the massive spike of flights of IL-76MD military transport aircraft to Engels-2 in late may was to build a stockpile of missiles at the airbase in order to rapidly equip Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers with readily available missiles. This is done to decrease the interval between attacks, helping to mitigate the effects Ukraineβs operation Spiderweb had on Russias strategic bomber capabilities.
The 2 Tu-95s from Ukrainka will probably redeploy to Olenya airbase in Murmansk Oblast at some point, before conducting the next missile attack on Ukraine.

There is high activity of Israeli fighter jets and helicopter in Syrian airspace right now, along with U.S. fighter jets flying over Anbar, western Iraq.
This is coinciding with mass cyber-attacks against Saudi government websites, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defence Website, the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces, as well as Flightradar, by a Shia Iraqi cyber group.
At the same time, CENTCOM has postponed Thurday's testimony to Congress due to "rising tensions in the Middle East", while the 6th round of nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have been cancelled following a report by the New York Times stating that the negotiations have "reached a dead end".

Btw I promise I will have map updates for Ukraine out today. I've just been super busy - most of my posts have been done while multitasking. I should have more time now, but remember, my interactive map is always updated first, the posts come second.
