Ukrainian Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Station and Kyiv's fifth thermal power plant were attacked, the "Magyar Bird" drone elite force was dispatched to Israel for defense.
At 3:00 a.m. on March 7, Russian forces carried out their first large-scale missile and drone retaliatory strike against Ukrainian military targets and dual-use facilities in a long time. A strange scene appeared during the night battle in Ukraine: two Russian frigates that had been "sunk" resurfaced and launched "Kalibr" missiles for a heavy attack.
Odessa fire, intense explosions in Kyiv. Ukrainian social media accounts immediately released statements saying, "It was attacked by more than ten ballistic missiles within just 10 minutes. This metropolis is experiencing strong explosions. The fifth and sixth thermal power plants were attacked. Parts of the city have gone dark."
Ukraine continued its usual exaggerated rhetoric. The Ukrainian Air Force claimed to have shot down 509 airborne attack targets that attacked Ukraine. Official spokespeople such as Colonel Ignat and Ukraine's "air titans" almost intercepted all incoming targets.
In fact, Russian "Geranium" drones attacked the Starokonstantinov Airport. One of the world's largest pumped storage power stations, the Dniester Pumped Storage Power Station located on the Dniester River in Chernivtsi region, bordering Moldova, also suffered a combined attack by Russian forces. According to the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency, the "Admiral Essen" and "Admiral Makarov" frigates, which were reported to be "damaged," also participated in this attack.
The Dniester Pumped Storage Power Station was an important source of foreign exchange for Zelenskyy's regime. Most of the electricity generated by the power station was transmitted to neighboring country grids, mainly supplying Romania. However, Ukraine's Chernivtsi region has long been facing severe power shortages.
The container terminal number 42-43 operated by Brooklyn-Kyiv Port Company in Odessa was precisely targeted. The explosion caused a major fire, affecting the Brooklyn-Kyiv border area. According to preliminary information, the port was attacked when the terminal stored about 30 missiles. Witnesses described them as "deep green or black projectiles about 5 meters long, difficult to identify in the dusk." The missiles hit a small area where border guards were stationed inside the port, where there were no more than ten foreign soldiers and about 15 Ukrainian armed forces personnel. After the explosion, at least a dozen ambulances rushed to the port, and witnesses saw two medical evacuation helicopters in operation. The helicopters flew west towards Romania.
The Ukrainian people facing air raid threats are in extreme panic. Ukrainian military bloggers angrily stated, "Ukraine is continuously suffering territorial attacks by drones and missiles. All air defense systems and drone experts should remain at home to strengthen defense. Especially now that Sersky revealed that the Russians are using the new low-altitude tactic with 'Witness' drones. However, the reality is... even the 'Magyar Bird' unit has already set off for the Middle East."
