⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Massive Strike on #Ukraine's Infrastructure on 16 Dec 2022 - what is known by 12:00⚡️

The RF Armed Forces have launched another massive missile strike on targets across #Ukraine.

▪️ In Kiev, CHPP-5, CHPP-6 and Darnitskaya CHPP were hit again. The underground was stopped, electricity was partially lost and water supply stopped.

▪️ #Zaporozhye region was hit by at least 12 strikes, local authorities said. In occupied #Zaporozhye, electricity and water were partially lost.

The engine room of the #Dnipro HPP was hit.

▪️ In #Kharkov, ground transport and the metro have come to a complete halt. There are disruptions in mobile communications. Partially there is no light and water. 7 strikes have hit the regional centre and 3 in the region.

#Zalyutino 330kV substation and #Kharkov 330kV PS were most likely hit. The previous day, the RF struck at CHPP-5. However, CHPP-3, which supplies power to all industrial facilities, remained unharmed.

Judging by the reports of the strike in the #Chuguev district, the fire attack might have been on CHPP-2 Eskhar.

▪️ Light went out in #Poltava and the Poltava region. The #Kremenchuk 330kV PS is likely been hit again. The #Mirgorod 330kV PS is also suspected of being hit.

▪️ In #Dnipropetrovsk region, there were explosions in #Kamenskoye and the regional centre. #Prydniprovska TPP is likely been hit again - traffic on Yuzhny Bridge opposite the TPP is blocked. The Prometey 330kV PS in #Kamenskoye is suspected been hit.

Explosions also occurred in #Pavlograd (likely the 330kV Pavlograd PS). Boiler houses and water supply are suspended in the city.

In #KrivoyRog, locals reported an explosion. Water and light were lost in the city. We already wrote that the Krivoy Rog TPP was shut down 1 1/2 month ago. Therefore, it is likely that either the Kirovskaya 330kV or Yuzhnaya 330kV PS was hit. In terms of logic, the Kirovskaya 330kV PS is most likely been hit - it supplies the water supply system.

▪️ There was a blackout in the #Cherkasy region. This could have been caused by both, the Polanyi 330kV PS being hit and the entire 330kV line along the Dnipro River being de-energised.

▪️ In #Kirovograd region, the Ukrainka 330kV PS was most likely hit. Pumping stations are shut down and power is lost. Several railroad sections are de-energized.

But the fact that the entire oblast is switched off could indicate that the 330kV switchgear of the Southern Ukraine NPP is down.

▪️ There are strikes in #Nikolaev and the region. Locals report power outages.

▪️ There are explosions in the #Ternopil region. There is only one 330kV Ternopil PS in the entire region.

▪️ In #Vinnitsa, shocks were also recorded. The Vinnitsa 330kV PS may have been hit.

▪️ An infrastructure facility in the #Odessa region has been hit. Power is partially lost in the regional centre.

▪️ In #Zhytomyr region, the Lesnaya 330kV PS in Korosten is affected. The PS bypassed the #Chernobyl NPP switchyard and supplied power to #Kiev from the #Rivne and Khmelnytskyi NPPs.

▪️ In the #Volyn, #Lvov, #Rivne, #Sumy and #Kherson regions, emergency blackouts occurred.

This is a direct consequence of the strikes in other regions. The same #Sumy is dependent on #Kremenchuk and #Kiev. And due to strikes on the Lesnaya 330kV PS, the Rivne NPP reactors could have shut down.

🩸Although the missile strike cannot be called the most massive in recent months, the number of missiles fired and the geography of targets is still impressive.

This confirms the systematic nature of the firing.

A new story has emerged in the Ukrainian infofield. People in chat rooms convince each other that the power was cut off before the strikes in order to mislead the enemy. Some even write that PPs are stopped on purpose for the duration of the raid.

There is no practical sense to be gained from such measures. But the Ukrainians believe such fables and convinces one another that the strikes by the RF are ineffective.

And this is not the case!

▪️ Engineer units of the 28th Mrchanized Brigade are equipping the second line of defence in the #Ivanopol region in case the line in #Kleshchiyevka is breached.

♦️#Soldar Section:

Wagner PMC assault troops are advance on #Soledar from the direction of #Bakhmutskoye and #Yakovlevka. Active fighting led to the takeover of two company strongholds and five observation posts of the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade and 61st Mechanized Brigade of the AFU.

▪️ At the same time, the advance towards #Razdolovka and #Veseloye continues. To deter the offensive, the AFU engineering units have set up minefields in the centre of #Veseloye, while artillery crews are shelling the southern outskirts of the village and #Yakovlevka.

🩸 In total, over the AFU have irretrievably lost more than 200 people to fighting and artillery strikes in the last two days. In addition, a depot near #Yablonovka, where AFU members were also staying, was hit by artillery.

Units of the Ukrainian National Guard from the #Sumy Region are expected to be moved to #Bakhmut to compensate for the losses. The distribution of diesel generators donated by the USA as part of military assistance has begun in #Konstantinovka.

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦☠️ Do you want blood? We will show you the work of our sabotage and reconnaissance groups in the Ukrainian border area.

Rybar's team publishes a cut of footage of the work of our units on the other side of the front in the Chernigov and Sumy regions. Ambushes, shootings of buses and pickups with units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and territorial defense, knocking out cars from a grenade launcher from a dozen meters, control shots and many killed opponents.

The footage shows the mining and blowing up of a bridge across the Sudost River in the Novgorod-Seversky district of the Chernigov region (52.339440, 33.304836) - our aviation worked on it back in April.

And don't say later that Russian DRGs are not there.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 Massive attack on objects in Ukraine on February 26 - what is known by 11:30

For the third consecutive night, Russian troops conducted mass attacks on rear targets in Ukraine. Explosions were reported in the Kirovograd, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkov, and Sumy regions - utilizing ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as Geran-2 attack UAVs.

▪️ Kirovograd: At least two MiG-29 fighters were destroyed at the Kanatovo military airfield; additionally, the enemy struck the 62nd arsenal (military unit A1201) north of the village of Bogdanovka, where one of the storage facilities for Western weapons is located. According to available information, detonations and fires at the facility persisted throughout the night.

▪️ Dnipro: A strike targeted Dnipro International Airport, which is actively utilized by the enemy for air operations and strikes in the eastern and southern directions. Following the strike, a fire with secondary detonations was observed at the facility. The building of Workshop No. 7 of the State Enterprise “Southern Machine-Building Plant named after. A.M. Makarov” was also targeted, where the enemy operated a workshop for assembling and maintaining attack UAVs.

▪️ Kharkiv: Ammunition depots of the AFU on the southwestern outskirts of the city and in Pesochin, which served as logistics supply points for enemy groups in the Kupiansk and Lyman directions, were destroyed.

▪️ Sumy: Updated information on the daytime destruction of Polykhim LLC in Shostka on the previous day has been received. The facility was closely monitored by Ukrainian special services and was involved in the military-industrial complex for producing composite materials for armored vehicles and protective elements.

▪️ Occupied territory of the DPR: Another target identified yesterday in Kostyantynivka was a temporary deployment point of the enemy in the building of a former psychiatric hospital. At the time of the attack, there were over 50 personnel present, with at least half of them reported as eliminated or injured to varying degrees. Strikes were also carried out at locations where the AFU were stationed in the villages of Kurakhovo, Maksimilyanovka, Nikiforovka, Dzerzhinsk, Zheleznoye, and Novoselovka.

🔻The active training of enemy rear facilities continues, aiming to weaken the military-industrial complex, destroy flight infrastructure, and disrupt logistics connections. Such activities suggest preparations for significant offensive operations by Russian troops in the near future.

❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Slobozhansky direction: battles near Kozinka and mass shelling of the Belgorod region Situation at 17:00 on March 19, 2024

Even though there are occasional reports claiming that the fighting in the border area is almost over, Ukrainian forces are still active in multiple areas.

▪️ Clashes are ongoing in the Kozinki area: the enemy is attempting to advance towards the Church of St. John the Evangelist, where administrative buildings are also situated. Units of the 2nd Obrspn are repelling attacks from the AFU.

▪️ Russian aviation is targeting locations in the Kharkov and Sumy regions. According to sources from the Kyiv regime, around 200 bombs were dropped on Bolshaya Pisarevka alone, opposite Kozinka, not including other ammunition.

▪️ The enemy has reduced the use of armored vehicles due to the risk of incursions, indirectly indicating a decrease in personnel flow using Lancets. Both sides have a high concentration of electronic warfare equipment.

▪️ Ukrainian forces persist in the mass shelling of the Belgorod region. In Razumny, four individuals, including a 14-year-old, were injured, with the teenager partially losing an arm. Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov has announced the evacuation of 9 thousand children to other regions.

Meanwhile, Russian UAV crews frequently identify the positions of the AFU’s rocket artillery, but the MLRS manage to relocate in time. The issue lies in organizational challenges hindering the prompt delivery of fire strikes to vulnerable priority targets.

The prompt elimination of these challenges is crucial now: not only will it significantly enhance the effectiveness of counter-battery warfare, but it will also decrease the intensity of enemy assaults on Belgorod and other populated areas.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the special military operation
for August 22, 2024

Russian forces struck enemy targets in several regions of the so-called Ukraine, using Geran drones. Explosions were heard in the Kharkiv, Cherkasy and Odesa Regions.

Ukrainian drones attacked six Russian regions. The main strike hit Voronezh Region, where the Marinivka airfield came under fire. Later, the AFU launched a missile at the Kavkaz port: a ferry carrying fuel tanks was hit.

In Kursk Region, Ukrainian formations carried out a series of attacks east and south of Korenevo - in this sector, the AFU reached Komarovka, but the district center remains under firm control of the Russian Armed Forces. UAV and air activity of the enemy is also recorded in the Glushkovo District.

In the Pokrovsk direction, the operational crisis of the AFU continues to worsen: Russian troops are advancing in the area of Hrodivka, Novohrodivka and Kalinovo, actively using drones to destroy enemy armored vehicles.

In the South Donetsk direction, Russian forces are fighting in Kostyantynivka, as well as east of highway O0532, where an expansion of the Russian control zone was recorded. The enemy is launching counterattacks, but without success.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Encirclement of AFU Forces in Korenevo District
Situation as of 12:00 on September 11, 2024

In the Kursk direction, the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces continues in the Korenevo District. According to preliminary data, by morning Obukhovka was cleared: if the information is confirmed, this will also indicate the liberation of Byakhovo. In addition, Russian paratroopers liberated the tract of October 10, and also occupied and consolidated in Snagost. During the battle, a group of members of Ukrainian formations was captured.

🔻Against the background of reports of the liberation of Vishnevka, the situation for the AFU in the area is close to deplorable - the enemy previously pulled personnel and equipment into Krasnooktyabr'skoye and the forest north of it, settling in the forest between the railway and the Seym river. Closer to noon, the Russian Armed Forces cleared Apanasovka, finally forming the cauldron.

Battles are also ongoing in the vicinity of Olgovka and Kremyanoye. According to some reports, Russian troops have also begun an offensive here, although its results remain unknown at the moment.

🔻In the Sudzha District, clashes continue. According to incoming reports, Russian troops attacked on the line Pogrebki-Kamyshevka in the direction of Malaya Loknya, but the scale of the advance is still unclear, and there are no reports of the liberation of settlements yet. Battles are also recorded on the line Borki-Fanaseevka. On the outskirts of Sudzha in Goncharovka, a reconnaissance-strike UAV "Forpost" destroyed two Ukrainian tanks.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Counterattacks by the Russian Army in Sudzha and Korenevo Districts
Situation as of the end of September 12, 2024

In the Kursk Region, Russian units are developing the success of previous days, pushing the AFU out of many previously occupied settlements.

🔻In the Korenevo District, the Russian Armed Forces cleared the settlement of Krasnooctyabr'skoye. As a trophy, the Russian troops captured an abandoned International MaxxPro armored vehicle. The enemy also attacked a storm group near Vishnevka with a drone, and later the Russian Ministry of Defense reported its liberation. In Snagost', a detachment of Ukrainian fighters fell into an organized ambush on the southern outskirts of the village: a minibus with AFU members was shot at point-blank range with an RPG.

▪️In addition, Russian troops liberated Obukhovka, advanced towards the Pokrovsky farm in the Sudzha District. The enemy was driven out of the outskirts of Byakhovo, Gordeyevka, Vnezapnoye and Viktorovka. At the same time, north of Ol'govka, fighting is still ongoing, where the Russian Armed Forces are repelling attempts by the AFU to wedge deeper into the Russian defense.

🔻In the Glushkovo District, Ukrainian formations continue to unsuccessfully attack towards the outskirts of the settlements of Medvezh'ye and Novy Put'. In the latter, an IMR-2 mine clearing vehicle even managed to drive several hundred meters before detonating a mine. At the moment, fighting continues in the area of the state border line, attempts by the enemy to consolidate in the villages have been thwarted.

🔻In the Sudzha District, a Russian BMP fired point-blank at Ukrainian positions in Russkaya Konopel'ka, and the village is now largely under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Fighting continues in the area of Martynivka and Fanaseyevka.

▪️The enemy published footage of shelling Russian positions near Malaya Loknya. However, due to the lack of destruction in the village shown in the published video, it is more likely that the footage is from the archive.
