UK Defence Intelligence has analysed the latest largescale Russian missile attack on Ukraine on the night of Thursday 2324 April.
Source UK Defence Intelligence update on X Twitter, as reported by European Pravda Details UK intelligence noted that the attack involved strategic aircraft, bombers, Black Sea Fleet ships and groundbased systems.
The Russians have mainly targeted Kyiv and Kharkiv.
Other Ukrainian cities were also attacked.
This combination of munitions almost certainly sought to complicate and saturate Ukrainian Air Defence efforts.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported intercepting 112 munitions, as well as interdicting others via electronic warfare, the update said.
UK intelligence has noted that Kh101 cruise missiles remain Russias primary weapon for conducting largescale strikes.
The recent 30day ceasefire in the energy sector enabled Russia to replenish its stockpile, which had only been used twice since early March, the update says.
Rebuilding its stockpile enables longrange aviation to sit ready to conduct strikes such as these with little to no notice, at a time of Russias choosing, as Russia continues normal strike operations, the review concluded.
Background On the night of 2324 April, Russian forces mounted a largescale combined attack on Ukraine.
Overall, Russia launched 215 missiles of various types and drones on Ukraine, with the main impact falling on Kyiv.
Ukrainian air defence units shot down 112 Russian aerial targets.
After the attack, US President Donald Trump urged Putin to stop.
French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Americas anger should be directed at only one person President Putin.
