Russia has begun using a new cruise missile to attack Ukraine, known as the "Filin" cruise missile. This new ground-launched missile has a maximum speed of up to 800 km/h, a maximum altitude of 6 km, and a flight range of 600-1200 km. It is 3.5 metres in length and has a wingspan of 3 metres. It's warhead weighs either 50 or 100 kg, and can be equipped with fragmentation-high-explosive, penetrating, and thermobaric warheads. This was likely that missile that was mixed up with Geran-5 jet-drones on October 16, that I reported as flying at speeds of 700-800 km/h towards western Ukraine.

Zelensky claims that Russia launched 21 missiles towards Kyiv last night (very close to my earlier report from 6 hours ago of 22 missiles), and did not mention any interceptions.

This drone was likely conducting a damage assessment. It repeatedly flew over the impact sites in eastern, southern, and northwestern Kyiv. It was not shot down, and after conducting several maneuvers and loops around the city, flew east back to Chernihiv Oblast. Usually Russia uses a Geran-4 jet-drone for this, so it's unclear why they are using a slower and more vulnerable Geran-2 this time. Perhaps they were baiting air defence at the same time.

Aftermath of overnight Russian strikes on an "Epicentr" Shopping Centre in the northern part of Kyiv. This is the fourth Epicentr Shopping Centre to be struck in the last two days. Other locations were targeted in the cities of Uman (Cherkasy Oblast), Pervomaisk (Mykolaiv Oblast), and Dubno (Rivne Oblast). Coordinates: 50.48993, 30.48706

The "Epicentr" Shopping Centre in Uman, Cherkasy Oblast, that was hit by multiple different Russian Geran-4/5 jet-drones yesterday, has been completely destroyed.

The New York Times reports that the U.S. and Israel have drawn up new strike plans for a renewed bombing campaign against Iran. The targets of such strikes would reportedly likely include energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and Iran's missile and drone arsenal, aimed at "pushing Iran's economic over the brink" to force them to make concessions in negotiations. This comes as U.S. and Israeli fighter jets have been conducting repeated simulated launch maneuvers towards Iran over Iraq, with the Iranian Air Force scrambling it's own fighter jets for patrols and training exercises. Iran has also been carrying out daily ballistic missile tests at multiple different launch sites, and has also been seen test-launching surface-to-air missiles.

Kyiv's Mayor reports that part of the metro infrastructure on the "South" Bridge in Kyiv was damaged in Russia's overnight missile attack on the city. This was probably caused by one of the cluster munition strikes on the CHP-5 Combined Heat and Power Plant, which is located right next to this bridge.

Either Ukrainian jet-drones or cruise missiles struck the 75th Arsenal in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, resulting in a large fire breaking out. This facility is used to repair and store military equipment, including surface-to-air missiles for the Buk-M1, Buk-M2 and S-300V systems. Ukraine has been carrying out a large-scale long-range drone attack on Moscow Oblast for several hours tonight. So far, this is the only known impact site. The vast majority of drones were shot down as usual.

As usual, some of the Russian RM-48U modified S-400 ballistic missiles missed their target (CHP-4 Combined Heat and Power Plant). This photo shows a crater following an impact near a residential area, near CHP-4.

The Polish Ministry of Defence has denied reports by RBC-Ukraine that it blocked the transfer of a military aid package to Ukraine due to the Lviv Regional Council's decision to declare 2027 the "Year of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army" (UPA). The UPA was a far-right Ukrainian nationalist insurgent group that collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War Two, and committed massacres against poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, which Poland recognises as a genocide. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the decision by the Lviv Regional Council counterproductive.

I will be changing the format I use for releasing Ukraine frontline map updates. From now on, I will publish updates from a sector once I have adequate information from there. So, instead of you guys receiving a full release of 15+ different sectors every week or two, there will be more sporadic updates from one sector at a time as the information comes in. This will significantly reduce the delay that information is being posted with, and will allow me to account for more details that may otherwise be omitted from my current format. For my Telegram subscribers, you can search for the updates with the hashtag #Ukrainemap in my channel, as each map update post will have this hashtag attached. This will make it easier to find them amidst all the other types of posts.
