Russia Strikes Live Map 🇷🇺

This Russia war map follows military and security incidents inside the Russian Federation that stem from the war in Ukraine. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the war has increasingly reached Russian territory itself: Ukrainian long-range drones hit refineries, fuel depots, airfields and defence plants, border districts come under shelling, and in August 2024 Ukrainian troops crossed into Kursk oblast. The map shows current reports of these incidents as they are published, so readers can see where drone strikes in Russia and cross-border attacks are being reported and how the pattern shifts from week to week.

Events cluster in three broad zones. The first is the border belt facing Ukraine, above all Belgorod, Kursk and Bryansk oblasts, where cross-border shelling, drone attacks and, for months, ground fighting have been reported. Ukraine's incursion into Kursk oblast was met by a Russian counter-offensive that had pushed Ukrainian forces largely out of the region by spring 2025. The second zone is the deep rear: refineries, oil terminals and fuel depots in southern and central Russia, along with airfields and industrial sites far from the front. The third is the Moscow region, where drone attacks have repeatedly forced temporary closures of the capital's airports.

Plotted event categories include long-range drone strikes and the fires they cause at energy facilities, reported attacks on military airfields and defence factories, shelling and drone attacks on border settlements, air-defence engagements announced by the Russian Ministry of Defence or regional governors, explosions and sabotage on railways, and airport restrictions during raids. Notable single operations are recorded as well, such as Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb on 1 June 2025, when drones launched from inside Russia struck aircraft at several strategic bomber airfields. Each event carries a timestamp, coordinates, a category and a link to the original source, so every point on the map can be traced back to its report.

Sources include Russian federal and regional media, statements by regional governors and the Russian Ministry of Defence, Ukrainian official sources such as the General Staff and the security and intelligence services, international news agencies, and geolocated footage posted on social networks. Russian statements usually report drones intercepted, while Ukrainian statements usually report targets hit; the map shows both versions as reported and labels each with its origin instead of declaring either one confirmed. On the map, events are colour-grouped as Russia versus Ukraine, covering incidents inside Russia and Ukrainian long-range operations. This grouping is a technical classification of who is reported acting where, not a political judgement.

The Russia map is neutral and factual: it records what was reported, where and when, without taking sides. Analysts, journalists, energy and logistics researchers and readers following the war use it to see the reach of the conflict inside Russia in one place instead of across dozens of scattered channels. New events arrive roughly every five minutes, titles are automatically translated into English, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian, and the free dashboard keeps 30 days of history. Developers can pull the same data with an API key from the REST endpoint /v1/events?region=russia, and the /livemap/ tracker shows ADS-B air traffic and AIS ship positions, although military aircraft often do not broadcast.
