- Over the afternoon of 15 November, Russia carried out up to 80 long range missile strikes, mostly against power infrastructure targets across Ukraine.
- This is likely the largest number of strikes that Russia has conducted in a single day since the first week of the invasion.
- Munitions were launched from air, sea and land-based platforms. Although a large proportion of missiles were successfully intercepted.

- Continued strikes at this scale are drawing deeply upon Russia’s reserves of conventional cruise missiles, as degrading Ukrainian’s national infrastructure has become a key element of Russia’s strategic approach to the campaign.
