Ever since Ukraine launched the drone attack on the airfields with drones assembled inside Russian territory, one thing is certain, and everybody knew that: there will be retaliation from Moscow.
When this expected retaliation will take place, and what format this will take is anyone’s guess.
Some MSM outlets are suggesting that it’s taking place tonight.
Nearly Midnight local time (5pm ET), evidences of a fierce attack started to appear, as Kiev sources reported preparations for a massive attack on the country.

Slavyangrad reported:
“Tu-95MS missile carriers take off from Olenya airfield.
Ships are leaving for the Black Sea. The maximum salvo is already 30 “Kalibr”.
Also, hundreds of attack drones, MiG-31K Kinzhal carriers and operational-tactical missile systems are ready for attack.”
Having said all that, Russian channels also remind us that Russian forces do a lot more fake attacks than real ones – ‘just to create more unpredictability and stress’.
Later, it’s been reported that Kalibr, Kinzhal, and Shkval missiles, as well Geran drones, are striking multiple targets around the country.

CNN reports:
“Russian ballistic missiles and drones have been launched toward Ukraine from multiple directions, the Ukrainian Air Force said on Telegram Friday.
Fires caused by falling debris and drone strikes were reported in buildings across Kyiv, as Ukraine attempted to repel the Russian attack, the Head of Kyiv City Military Administration Tymur Tkachenko said. A CNN producer in the Kyiv region reported hearing at least two explosions.”
