The ILS Launch blog reports that the burns so far have been nominal and the APT has been jettisoned as planned. Both the Briz-M and the payload is now in a 5-hour coast period after which the final burn will take place.
Payload separation is expected 12 minutes after that last burn.

That's interesting. According to my records I have:
4600th successful orbital launch since October 4, 1957
2818th successful orbital launch for Russia / USSR
1216th successful orbital launch from GIK-5 (NIIP-5) Baikonur.
And launch photo...

Your figures don't include failures, I think Nicolas included them. I haven't checked, but that would explain the discrepancy.

In this week's Air&Cosmos, Christian Lardier reports that Astra-1M launch was the last of the non-enhanced version of Proton-M.
