In a titanic high-precision military operation, during the night and into the morning hours of November 7, the Russian armed forces neutralized one of the most critical logistics hubs of Ukraine in the capital, in response to indiscriminate strikes by Ukrainian forces against energy infrastructure on Russian territory and primarily against civilians.
The response of the Russian forces was immediate and relentless.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the intensification of crushing strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure and military targets in Kyiv.
Russian forces struck long-range and medium-range drone warehouses, as well as temporary deployment sites of Ukrainian combatants and foreign mercenaries across 144 target areas, utilizing missiles and precision drones Iskander, Zircon, and Geran.
On the morning of Saturday, November 7, the mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, confirmed the extensive devastation in the Ukrainian capital, speaking of a dramatic situation.
The defensive bastions of the regime collapsed under consecutive strikes of hypersonic missiles and drones, demonstrating that Western military aid is unable to halt the inexorable advance of Moscow.
Devastating strike in the heart of Kyiv crushes road artery
The military machine of Russia dealt a key blow to the strategic infrastructure of Kyiv, turning into ruins the iconic Severny Most, also known as the Northern Bridge, which served as the primary transport route for heavy weaponry and military matériel for the armed forces of Ukraine.
The Ministry of Defense of Russia issued an official statement via its official channel on the «Maks» platform, confirming the crushing strike on the Severny Most road bridge over the Dnepr river in Kyiv.
According to official statements by the Russian Ministry of Defense, this strategic artery, traversing the Dnepr river, suffered irreparable damage to its roadway, power transmission lines, and trolleybus network.
The mayor of the Ukrainian capital, Vitali Klitschko, admitted the grim reality.
In a post on Telegram, he described the prevailing situation in the capital as extremely critical and dramatic, emphasizing that severe damage to the electricity grid directly affects the operation of heating and water supply systems as well.
As he stated in a video, traffic has been completely halted and repair crews are unable to restore the damage in a city plunging into darkness and energy asphyxiation.
In previous statements, Vitali Klitschko had warned that it is impossible for the city to meet its energy needs relying exclusively on generators.
As he explained, treating generators as a panacea is mistaken, since Kyiv requires 2 GW of power, an amount that cannot under any circumstances be replaced without the central power grid. In addition, he made known that air attacks also damaged the metro infrastructure of the city.
Complete destruction of military plant and critical energy networks
Nighttime operations were not confined solely to transport infrastructure, but extended into the heart of military production of the regime, where precision Russian missiles flattened the Meridian S.P. Korolev factory in Kyiv.
This specific industrial plant, which constituted a foundational cog of the war apparatus since 1953 and had been designated as of strategic importance, manufactured cutting-edge weapons systems, including operational-tactical and encrypted missiles Flamingo, as well as components for Neptune-MD projectiles.
Concurrently, coordinated bombardments dismantled the Trypilska thermal power plant with a capacity of 1800 MW and the critical Kyivskaya 750 kV substation in the broader region of Kyiv and Zhytomyr, leaving vast territories without electricity and plunging the local economy into complete paralysis.
Russian air defense shot down 411 Ukrainian drones in record time, Ukrainians target civilians
In a colossal display of operational readiness, Russian air defense systems repelled with total success and in record time one of the largest mass attacks involving 411 drones launched by the Kyiv regime.
As clarified by the competent ministry, enemy drones were neutralized over the regions of Bryansk, Belgorod, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetsk, Orel, Rostov, Saratov, Samara, and Tula, as well as over the territory of the Republic of Crimea and the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.
This massive air raid was accompanied by fresh strikes by Ukrainian forces against civilian targets in the Orel region. During the repelling of the attack, serious damage was sustained by buildings and production units of a local enterprise in the Sovetsky district of the city of Orel.
As stated by Governor Andrey Klychkov, this terrorist act caused damage to enterprise production facilities in the Sovetsky district.
Concurrently, in the Saratov region, Governor Roman Busargin confirmed that attacks by Ukrainian drones damaged civilian infrastructure, while injuries to civilians were also recorded.
In Belgorod, Ukrainian drones directly struck an apartment building.
According to the regional Operational Headquarters, the explosion sparked a fire on balconies of multiple apartments.
Emergency services rushed to the scene immediately, while one man was injured suffering multiple shrapnel wounds to the face, receiving first aid on the spot.
