Overnight assault: Russia deploys 5 Iskander missiles and 170 drones, 74 are shot down by Ukraine while 68 mysteriously disappear from radar
Informal Take:
Hey buddy! So, here's the lowdown on the latest Russian shenanigans towards ol' Ukraine. Since the clock struck 6 PM on April 30, those pesky Russians have been unloading, launching five Iskander-M ballistic missiles and a whopping 170 loitering munitions and decoy drones! Now, let me tell you, it seems like their aim ain't the greatest, 'cause 142 of those drones missed their mark[1][2][4].
As for the locations, they were slinging those suckers out from Crimea, Kursk, Millerovo, Oryol, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk, along with Cape Chauda in Crimea[2][4]. The Ukrainian defense forces have been busy repelling this aerial attack, using aircraft, anti-aircraft missile units, electronic warfare assets, and mobile fire groups[2][4].
Here's the current damage: Odesa, Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, and Kyiv oblasts have taken a hit[2][4]. Scary stuff, huh? Thankfully, Ukraine's Air Force has been keeping us in the loop with updates on Twitter[1].
