Russian air defense repelled a major Ukrainian aerial attack on February 15-16, primarily affecting the Bryansk region, while Belgorod also experienced drone and missile strikes. The attacks damaged the 750kV 'Novobryanskaya' substation, resulting in power outages for hundreds of thousands and reports of civilian deaths.

Russian military officials stated that over 200 enemy drones were destroyed alongside multiple HIMARS missiles. Analysts suggest that the ongoing violence serves to disrupt energy supplies and leverage strategic negotiations. Additionally, a cyber breach at Palantir Technologies has raised alarms about its role in coordinating military actions in Ukraine, potentially impacting future operations.
