During a large-scale strike on Ukrainian territory, Russia’s Aerospace Forces deployed Kh-22 «Burya» cruise missiles. According to Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, one of the targets was the 330 kV Chernigovskaya substation in Chernigov Region.

Lebedev said the facility was a critical hub in the regional power grid. It handled electricity transmission within the region and linked local networks with neighboring energy systems. A strike on infrastructure of that level, he noted, amounts to a direct hit on a distribution node essential to the stability of the area’s power supply.

The Kh-22 missile dates back to the 1960s, when it was designed to counter U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups — a role that earned it the unofficial nickname «carrier killer." The missile is roughly 11 meters long and carries a warhead weighing nearly a ton. It can reach speeds of up to Mach 4.6, approaching hypersonic velocity, and is capable of maneuvering in flight, factors that make interception significantly more difficult.

Earlier, Lebedev reported a mass drone attack involving Geran UAVs against Ukrainian military infrastructure in the city of Lozovaya in Kharkov Region. Several locomotives were reportedly put out of service as a result of the strikes. In addition, drones hit a train carrying military equipment that, according to Lebedev, was intended for redeployment toward the Kramatorsk area.
