💥 Swarm

Russia launched 126 drones at targets across the country overnight, hitting 14 separate locations and injuring two people in Kyiv. In Kramatorsk, aerial bombs struck a residential neighborhood, leaving children among the casualties. In total, shelling across three regions killed two and injured 27 yesterday; the military also noted that Russia is now testing a new, cheaper class of cruise missiles. President Zelenskyy has stated he is ready to end the war as soon as possible, even as potential venues for a trilateral meeting with the US and Russia begin to circulate in diplomatic circles. For those still in the trenches, some relief arrived via the sky: the defense ministry confirmed that Starlink speeds have been restored for military use, following reports of connectivity issues that had hampered operations. In the south, a ceasefire has been announced for the Kherson region to allow a humanitarian corridor for Oleshky, while across the front line, occupied Crimea is dealing with a total blackout. Tens of settlements are without power in the peninsula. The geography of the war is shifting, but the pattern of overnight strikes followed by morning repairs remains the same.
