Russian forces conducted a series of drone strikes against Ukraine on the night of February 9 and 10.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched 125 Shahed-type, Gerbera-type, Italmas-type, and other drones – of which roughly 80 were Shaheds – from the directions of Kursk, Oryol, and Bryansk cities; Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai; Shatalovo, Smolensk Oblast; and Millerovo, Rostov Oblast.[69] The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian forces downed 110 drones, that 13 drones struck six locations, and that drone debris fell on two locations. Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces struck energy, residential, railway, and civilian infrastructure in Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Odesa oblasts.[70]
Russian forces continue to target railway infrastructure in Ukraine. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister and Development Minister Oleksiy Kuleba reported that Russian forces struck the Tereshchenska train station in Voronizh, Sumy Oblast (roughly 43 kilometers from the international border), damaging the track and injuring one civilian, and that Russian forces struck a diesel train at the Snovsk train station (roughly 27 kilometers from the international border) in Chernihiv Oblast.[71] Geolocated footage published on February 10 shows Russian forces conducting a Geran-2 drone strike against a train car on the Pivdenna-Zakhidna railway line near the Tereshchenska station in southeastern Voronizh.[72] ISW continues to assess that Russian forces are striking Ukrainian railway infrastructure and seeking to target Ukrainian rear logistics hubs as part of the Russian forces’ ongoing battlefield air interdiction (BAI) campaign intended to facilitate Russian battlefield gains.[73]

@clement_molin Some are talking of Uspenivka as an objective, which could be (the area is very difficult for Russia to move, we saw with the impacts maps), but I do not think it will happen. The priority is to secure Haichur river and Pokrovsk'e approach. This will buy time for further fortifications improvements in the area.
