Record Russian Strikes Near 1000 Rockets and Drones Launched — “Geran” Hits Kremenchuk Dnipro Bridge

Russian forces set a new record with 805 rockets and drones launched in one day against Ukrainian rear areas, nearing a thousand strikes. Among notable attacks, the “Geran” loitering munition targeted and damaged the strategic railway bridge over the Dnipro River near Kremenchuk, Poltava region. This bridge disruption forced Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) to reroute trains via alternate crossings, complicating logistics considerably. Local authorities and emergency services report extensive damage to infrastructure, including private homes, municipal buildings, and critical transport links, though casualties were reportedly avoided this time. The scale and intensity of these strikes represent a significant escalation in Russia’s campaign against Ukrainian logistics and rear support, leveraging a combination of drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles in coordinated waves.
