## Key points

- Ukraine reported striking two Iskander launchers in Bryansk.
- A Pantsir-S1 air defence system was also targeted.
- Russia fired 36 ballistic missiles at Kyiv and its region overnight.

## Summary

Ukraine’s General Staff says its forces struck two Russian Iskander missile launchers and a Pantsir-S1 air defence system in Bryansk Oblast between 6 and 7 November. The reported strikes matter because Iskander missiles are a major part of Russia’s ballistic arsenal, while Pantsir systems protect military sites from attacks including long-range drones.

The extent of damage to the launchers was still being assessed, and the strikes could not be independently verified. The report came after Russia fired 36 ballistic missiles at Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast overnight, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said substations linked to two nuclear power plants were hit. Ukraine’s military intelligence estimates Russia can produce more than 200 cruise and ballistic missiles a month; a Ukrainian Navy spokesperson has also said Russian air-defence coverage is becoming depleted.
