After failing to break the Pechenez dam yesterday, Russia fired two more missiles into the dam today. They damaged a portion of the dam, but not to the extent of threatening its structural integrity. Their desire to pursue this type of terrorist attack is telling, though.
Destroying this dam would have no military value whatsoever. It is pure terrorism.
There was a point in the past where destroying the dam would have had military value, but that ended when Ukraine totally defeated the Russian forces in Kharkiv and forced them to bravely run away.

Russia fired 14 missiles at Zaporizhzhia (about 4 hours ago), one of them exploded shortly after launch. Little puff of failure. Image
They targeted infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia city, along with areas in Hulaipole.
Since Russia cannot aim, they hit houses. ImageImageImage

Update for September 18-20 ukrdailyupdate.com/updates/update…
Here is my military update for September 18th through September 20th. #ukrainedailyupdate

If you would like to view the map, here is the link: google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi…
Between September 18th and the 20th, most of the action in Ukraine centered around Ukraine’s offensive in the Lyman area, Russia’s offensive in the Bakhmut area, and Russia’s troop movements in Luhansk oblast. I will go around the country in a clockwise fashion.

Ukraine is attacking Lyman from the northwest. Which proves what I have felt is true for the past day or two: Ukraine captured all of the forest towns west of Lyman.
Ukraine is attacking like this.
I update my map thusly.

If you would like to view the map, here is the link.

Note the link is different now, the most up to date map is Ukraine 7, not Ukraine 6. I am going to post a new map every other Saturday night.

In the Lyman area Ukraine is attacking basically every town at the same time. Image
Zooming in, you see Rubtsi, Krymky, and Oleksandrivka. Image

I’m told the greatest fighting around Bakhmut are around Patrisa Lumumby street (yellow) and this other white area.
Russia is pounding Bakhmut with artillery of all forms. Mortars, tube, MLRS, and even missiles. I've heard stories about Russia firing missiles at individual soldiers. Wagner has good mortar teams, and Ukraine makes it a priority to kill them.
I've heard that Russian artillery here has gotten less aimed and more random in the past few days. Firing seemingly at random at the city without clear objectives.

My update for September 16th. #ukrdailtupdate

If you would like to view the map, here is the link: google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi…
On September 15th, Ukrainians released a video from the east side of Kupyansk (1), which Russia had previously controlled. On the map, I marked this area “contested,” and I will change it to “captured” with more information.
