Russia may launch another missile attack on December 22 or 23 - intelligence

Ukrainian intelligence sources told Ukrainska Pravda about this.

The use of drones by the Russian forces the day after the strike is also possible.

“Intelligence sources indicate that Russia will involve in the strike all cruise missile carriers available in its armed forces with a range of 500 km and more. In total, it plans to launch at least 67 cruise missiles. The next day after the strike, the use of attack drones is not excluded,” the message says. 

Intelligence reports that Russia is preparing to use at least four Iskanders, from 8 to 14 Tu-95MS aircraft, about three Kalibr rocket launchers, as well as up to three Tu-22M3 aircraft.

Ukrainska Pravda also reports that the Sevastopol seaport in occupied Crimea has restricted the movement of any ships and aircraft from December 23 to 27 due to missile firing.

• On the night of December 19, the enemy attacked Kyiv and the region with Shahed drones. The Ukrainian Air Defense Forces managed to shoot down 18 drones, but some hit critical infrastructure.
