Russia has begun launching Kalibr sea-based cruise missiles from Novorossiysk toward targets in Ukraine. The source estimates arrival times for several cities, including Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Poltava, Kyiv, and Lviv, and reports that Russian strategic bombers are also preparing to launch.
Russia has launched a new wave of Kalibr cruise missiles from the port of Novorossiysk targeting Ukraine, according to a single source reporting the launch as it happened. The message estimates arrival times for several major cities: Zaporizhzhia at 01:00, Dnipro at 01:05, Poltava at 01:15, Kyiv at 01:30, and Lviv at 02:00, though interceptions or failures could alter those windows. The same source warns that Russian strategic bombers are also preparing to launch missiles, suggesting a multi-directional coordinated strike. This follows numerous previous Russian aerial attacks on Ukraine's energy grid and urban centers, including ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv and other cities in recent weeks. The scope of this barrage, the number of missiles, and the success of Ukrainian air defenses remain unconfirmed. The Zioneer has covered several prior Russian missile and drone campaigns against Ukraine; this event appears to be a fresh wave of attacks still in progress.
