Day 15 of Russia's new strike campaign on port infrastructure of Odesa and Mykolaiv Oblasts:
Today, Russia launched at least 5 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, 2 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles, 3 Banderol jet-drones, 13 Geran-3/4 jet-drones, and 34 Geran-2/Gerbera drones.
Ukrainian air defence was able to shoot down 2-3 of the Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, which were targeting the Odesa Port. Additionally, both of the Oniks cruise missiles missed their targets at the Odesa Port due to their low accuracy, with one impacting in an open area and another falling in a river (as seen in the attached video). Furthermore, 1 out of the 3 Banderol jet-drones was shot down (which also targeted Odesa Port).
The primary targets were the Odesa and Chornomorsk Ports. Today and yesterday, Russia has significantly increased the number of Geran-2 drones used, while today they slightly decreased the number of Geran-3/4 jet-drones.
⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇶🇺🇸 Fars: 2 Iranians were killed and 11 injured as a result of the American strike on the Iraq-Iran Shalamcheh border crossing.

In my opinion, Iran has finally started getting steady flows of intelligence from Russia in recent weeks (or perhaps even China too), beyond individual assistances we likely saw during the active phase of the war, in response to the U.S. providing extensive intelligence to Ukraine.

Ansarallah announced targeting two Saudi oil tankers, the “ENCELIA” and “LAYLA”in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, resulting in fires breaking out on both ships.
Additionally, they reportedly forced 10 other ships to turn back due to these attacks.
A short time ago, Iran attacked King Abdulaziz Airbase in Dhahran, eastern Saudi Arabia, with multiple ballistic missiles, for the first time ever.
Explosions were also reported in Manama, Bahrain.
Russia may carry out another attack on Odesa Oblast using 4 Tu-22m3 strategic bombers later today.

Ahead of the upcoming combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine, Russian Gerbera drones have been carrying out heavy reconnaissance of potential targets across Kyiv Oblast and Chernihiv Oblast.
Overnight, they were specifically focused on the areas of Irpin, Dymer, Novi Petrivtsi, Slavutych, and Vyshhorod, Pereiaslav, and Brovary in northern and eastern Kyiv Oblast.
As I mentioned earlier, there is also a threat of Odesa being targeted. For the last few days, Russian Gerbera reconnaissance drones have been actively scouting out routes with limited air defence for missiles to fly along in the region.
At least two petrol stations were struck by Russian drones in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast overnight.

Israel continues the bombardment in southern Lebanon, with or without the MoU. 🇮🇱🇱🇧
Over the past month, the Israeli army has continued to bomb localities in southern Lebanon following the agreement between Tel Aviv and Beirut to find “a way out of the Lebanese conflict”. Fighting against Hezbollah and other Lebanese resistance groups has continued sporadically, leaving one person dead and dozens injured since the agreement was signed on 26 June.
The civilian population has borne the brunt of the conflict. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, since 2 March, the Israeli aggression has caused 4,324 deaths and 12,221 injuries.
🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — The true cost of the war in Iran is much higher than the $37.5 billion announced by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, as that estimate does not include expenses such as military construction and repairs to U.S. bases damaged by Iranian strikes during the war, according to CBS News.

Well if we follow tradition we've got to report that Syrskyi Holds! for the next 6 to 8 months before quietly admitting he was sacked in a random report, hidden amongst other events.

Yes, the U.S. has been striking (mostly) useless targets in the past 2 weeks.
They’re acting on old intelligence, sometimes even no intelligence at all.
Meanwhile Iran has been hitting jet hangars, radars, warehouses, barracks, powerplants, and desalination plants, with pinpoint accuracy.
A couple of hours ago, Russia launched two Oniks supersonic cruise missiles from Crimea at the city of Chornomorsk, Odesa Oblast.
Due to its low accuracy, at least one of the missiles impacted next to a residential area, injuring one civilian. It is unclear where the second missile impacted.
New high resolution satellite imagery reveals that a U.S. FPS-117 radar at Ahmad al-Jaber Airbase in Kuwait was destroyed by an Iranian drone strike.

The Russian MOD claims that the 14th consecutive night of strikes against Odesa Oblast targeted two ships in the western Black Sea, port infrastructure facilities allegedly used for unloading and storing military cargo, and tanks containing fuel reportedly used by the Ukrainian military.
In addition, they claim to have struck a Nova Poshta warehouse in Odesa city used by the Ukrainian military for storing military cargo, as well as another Neptune cruise missile launcher near the village of Kovalivka.
Over the last 72 hours, Russia has launched at least 35 missiles at Odesa Oblast, including ~22 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, ~7 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles, ~4 Kh-22/32 supersonic cruise missiles, ~1 Kh-31P anti-radar missile, and ~1 Iskander-M ballistic missile. In addition to this, dozens of Geran-2/3/4/5 drones and Banderol jet-drones have attacked the region.
This accounts for 100% (!) of all missiles launched at Ukraine over the last 3 days. Most/all of the missiles impacted without being shot down due to a lack of surface-to-air missile systems in the region right now, and the constant threat of Kh-31P anti-radar missiles being launched towards air defence systems and radars from Su-30s accompanying the Su-34s, Su-35s and Su-57s on combat missions.
Today was the 14th consecutive day of Russia's new massive strike campaign for the region. It is expected that strikes will continue for the coming days, with there even being a risk that the region is the primary target of the upcoming large-scale, combined missile and drone attack later this week.
While everyone focuses on Ukraine's mid-range strike campaign against Russian commercial vessels in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea, hardly anyone even mentions these unprecedented strikes taking place against the only available ports Ukraine has.
The Iranian Army released footage showing the launch of drones, which they claim targeted U.S. ammunition depots and logistical equipment at the Camp Doha Base in Kuwait.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸🇯🇴 — The Pentagon confirmed that a third service member is believed to have died in Friday’s deadly Iranian missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan and identified them as 28-year-old Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad of New York.
➡️ The confirmation brings the death toll to 18 U.S. service members killed since the Iran war began.
Imagine Syrskyi pulls an Assad and flees to Moscow, revealing he was a Russian agent all along trying to sabotage the AFU with terrible decision-making.
