-----------------------

Ukrainian air defence work:

As of the time of writing, I am unable to confirm any interceptions. This does not necessarily mean there were no interceptions, as its possible some of the subsonic cruise missiles were shot down.

-----------------------

The following was targeted:

- The Kryvyi Rih Metallurgical Plant

- The Zaporizhstal Metallurgical Plant

- The "Zaporozhtransformator" power oil transformer plant.

- An unknown target in northern Kherson Oblast.

-----------------------

Keep in mind, the numbers of missiles launched may be slightly higher than what I've listed, as the number of missiles detected is sometimes lower than actual launches.
