Ukraine War – Missile strikes data
Possible sources:
- ACLED Ukraine Conflict Monitor - takes data from (amongst others, but primarily) liveuamap. Datasets require (free) account, only divides between shellings (and similar) and air strikes (and similar), which runs risk of being too coarse a granularity
- liveuamap - large dataset, API access costly, quite unfiltered
- Civilian harm dashboards
- Eyes on Russia by the Centre for Information Resilience, which is basically run by Benjamin Strick, jointly with C4ADS. Large dataset, mentions e.g. “missiles” alone more than 200 times as of 2023-03-15.
- Bellingcat Civilian harm in Ukraine map
- Geolocation-focused efforts
- GeoConfirmed map (by @GeoConfirmed)
- Project Owl Ukraine Control map,
with scraped geolocations
visualized and
available as
GeoJSON
- Attack map by Texty.org.ua - useful, with lots of links for sources, but also lumps in similar types of attacks so utility somewhat diminished
- Telegram
- UA War Infographics by Toplead agency - mostly reliable, but mostly repeats Ukrainian MoD and Military Intelligency and similar sources
- Ukrainian MoD (via Telegram, Facebook, ZSU website], CinC AFU, KPS ZSU (Air Force, Telegram) - Hard to parse manually since their reporting structure changed regularly. Mostly unverifiable claims without publicly visible proof, numbers don’t add up over time
- Second-hand reports via Ukrinform, UP, Kyiv Independent and other news outlets which mostly report on statements by Ukrainian MoD
- Russian “LPR”/”DPR” sources - Through their certain degree of freedom, sometimes quite accurate and honest assessments, if you dig through the mud
Discarded sources:
- Map of Destruction by “Anti-Corruption headquarters”, in cooperation with Kyiv School of Economics - Has lately (as of 2023-01) pivoted to showing reconstruction progress, which is nice to see, but diminishes utility as data source for the specific avenue of missile strikes
- Russian government-aligned sources - MoD Russia, rybar (both wildly inaccurate)
