Protracted Assault on Syzran Persists for Over Three Hours

In the ever-evolving landscape of international affairs, two significant stories are unfolding. On one front, the strategic Ust-Lug export port in the Leningrad Region, Russia's largest seaport in the Baltic, continues to play a crucial role in trade and logistics. The port, which accepts the largest vessels, exports oil, gas, coal, fertilizers, and grain, and is equipped with a tank farm boasting a total capacity of 960,000 m3. Despite recent rumours, the Ust-Lug export port has not been attacked in the mentioned summary.

On a different note, an ongoing attack on Syzran, a city in Russia, has been reported. The assault, which has been going on for more than three hours, has resulted in more than 20 explosions being reported. The severity of the damage in Syzran needs to be clarified, but there have been allegations that a refinery in the city has suffered a defeat.

In addition, at least five drones have been shot down over the forest near Syzran, and there have been reports of UAVs in the airspace of the Leningrad region, with air defense working to ensure safety. The work of the air defense was also recorded in the Tver region, where two drones were shot down, but there were no losses or damage.

Interestingly, a drone attack was also reported on the Kursk nuclear power plant, but was destroyed by air defense. An explosion occurred during the fall, and the transformer was damaged, but no casualties were reported.

In a related development, the Trump administration has reportedly approved the sale of 3,350 extended-range missiles (ERAM) to Ukraine. These missiles, with a range of 241-450 km, are due to arrive in six weeks. However, it's important to note that the ERAM missiles sale has not been confirmed to have caused any attack mentioned in the summary.

Meanwhile, in another incident, nine UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been eliminated in the Smolensk region, with no casualties or damage to the infrastructure.

Lastly, about seven explosions were heard in the Belgorod region, Stary Oskol. The type of drones allegedly used in the attack on Syzran is reported to be the "Fierce" type.

As these events unfold, it's crucial to stay informed and maintain a clear understanding of the circumstances. More updates will be provided as information becomes available.
