While the eyes of the world are fixated on the Israel-Iran war, back in Europe Russia and Ukraine continue in their fourth year of war.
Last night, a massive air raid on Kiev left several targets burning, including drone-filled hangars at the National Aviation University.
Following a massive geranium drone strike, the Russian Navy and Aerospace Forces also launched missile strikes against Ukraine, reportedly including 3 Kinzhal Hypersonic ballistic missiles.

Kiev has been burning for hours: after the Geranium drones, a strike was launched by Kinzhal missiles from MiG-31 aircraft and Kalibr missiles from Navy ships.
A major fire is concentrated on the territory of the Zhulyany airport, where launchers and other elements of the Patriot air defense system are located.

Slavyangrad reported:
“Last night, Geraniums carried out a group strike on the Zhulyany airport and the town near it. A number of buildings of the aviation institute were reportedly damaged, and a Patriot air defense system was destroyed.
According to preliminary data, the night attack on Kiev was aimed exclusively at military and paramilitary infrastructure, which is confirmed by the geography of the fires, recorded by thermal anomalies.
Those hit were:
Kiev Armored Plant
Particular emphasis was placed on facilities that ensure the restoration and repair of armored vehicles, the assembly of drones and their subsequent dispatch closer to the front line.”
