A single Russian Geran-2 drone is currently maneuvering over Kyiv in a very unusual manner. It's repeatedly rapidly dropping in altitude down to altitudes of 400 metres in a dive, before immediately pulling up to over 700 metres.

Approximate flight routes of the missiles used in tonight's Russian missile attack on Kyiv. The following was launched: ~11 Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from near Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast, some of which were equipped with cluster warheads. ~8 RM-48U modified S-400 ballistic missiles launched from near Klintsy and Pochep, Bryansk Oblast. ~3 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles launched from near Millerovo, Rostov Oblast. ~22 missiles in total. None of the 22 missiles were shot down due to Ukraine being completely out of Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles. Among the targets hit were the CHP-5 and CHP-4 Combined Heat and Power Plants.

1 impact in the Podilskyi District of northern Kyiv.

Zircon/Oniks-M cruise missile to Kyiv. Edit: Disappeared near the international border in Sumy Oblast.

Large-scale Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. At least 25 missiles of various types were used. There were no interceptions, as Ukraine is still completely out of Patriot PAC-3 interceptors. The target was primarily energy infrastructure, with the CHP-4 and CHP-5 Combined Heat and Power Plants being struck. Other targets elsewhere in the city were also hit.

The IRGC attacked an oil tanker in the Persian Gulf with a drone/anti-ship cruise missile, 30 nautical miles southeast of Al Faw, Iraq. No significant damage is reported, and the crew is reported as safe.

A Russian S8000 Banderol cruise missile struck the Prydniprovska Thermal Power Plant in Dnipro, resulting in a fire breaking out. Power outages are reported in parts of Dnipro, as well as the cities of Pavlohrad, Synelnykove, and Ternivka.

Russian channels are reporting that an exchanged of deceased Russian and Ukrainian soldiers will be conducted tomorrow.

Iranian Air Force F-5 fighter jets were once again seen flying over the city of Dezful, western Iran, this morning.

Explosions in Dnipro. Russian S8000 Banderol cruise missiles are attacking the city.

New high-resolution satellite imagery shows that Russia has continued rapid expansions at the Tsumbulova drone launching site in Oryol Oblast. 6 new areas for launching drones have been constructed, and additional launching areas are being prepared. These will likely be used to launch Geran-4/5 jet-drones, which are constantly launched from Tsumbulova. Additionally, repair work is underway on drone storage facilities damaged in recent Ukrainian drone strikes so they can be used for storing Geran drones once again. Fortifications near the launch pads are also being constructed to protect against Ukrainian attacks, and its reported that the entire site will soon be covered in anti-drone netting. Image credit

An Israeli targeted assassination strike targeted the vicinity of Al-Qarara, southern Gaza Strip. At least two people were injured, including one who is in critical condition.

The IRGC attacked an oil tanker with a drone/anti-ship cruise missile in the Strait of Hormuz, 11 nautical miles west of Bukha, Oman. A fire broke out onboard, which has since been extinguished. The tanker has now been anchored, and all crew are reported as safe.

The 2nd Khartiia Corps of the Ukrainian National Guard announced carrying out a special operation underground, appearing to use an underground pipeline network. The operation was dubbed "Veles" and was carried out in complete informational silence. The results will be released to the public tomorrow, October 22. The trailer video they released doesn't reveal many clues. Presumably it was an underground pipeline network. There are several of these near the frontline, including one that connects Kupyansk with the city of Urazove in Belgorod Oblast. A couple of months ago I was told by a source that a significant portion of the fighting for Kupyansk city was taking place underground, but this operation seems to be much bigger than simple frontline clashes. There are other tunnel complexes near Pokrovsk and Kursk Oblast which could also have been used.

Explosions in Chernihiv. The city was struck by another S8000 Banderol cruise missile, possibly targeting the same location that was hit 3 hours ago.

Ansarallah announced targeting the PLC operations room at the Bader military camp near Aden International Airport with a ballistic missile.

Btw, if you guys are interested, the Ukrainian government updated their official air raid alert map a few days ago to show the approximate flight routes of Russian missiles and drones, overlayed with air alert locations. It's very approximate and doesn't show real-time trajectories, and it wouldn't be as accurate as the maps I'm able to produce live, but it's still very useful if you want to get a general idea of what the air situation looks like.
