Daily Ukraine map thread for Wednesday 29th April 2026
Highlights: Today we zoom out, to look at a handful of the strikes done this month (April) alone. In one of the longest successful strikes thus far, Perm pumping station was hit by a strike causing two large storage tanks to burn heavily. A Lyuity type drone also reached Orsk refinery near the Kazakhstan border.
In a rare interesting midstrike, a forward operating base for Russian army aviation was struck, destroying an Mi-17 and Mi-28.
On the front, the flanks at Kostyantynivka are under severe pressure. The entire Kostyantynivka to west of Siversk area is under severe threat.
Elsewhere, we've pulled Russian presence back. The Dniper islands, which we hadn't touched for quite some time, as one example.
