I want to be clear with this now: I want nothing to do with betting or gambling on the war in Ukraine.
Recently, following the ISW fraud controversy with Polymarket, I keep seeing people suggest that my maps and reports should be used as a deciding factor for determining the outcome of bets. One of those such posts got over 1.6 million views.
I even had the "Pentagon Pizza Watch" account reach out to me asking if my map could be embedded in his external betting service. He proceeded to get angry at me when I pointed out how immoral and scummy it was, and how when he used Deepstate's API, it ultimately got their service temporarily taken down, leaving many people - including humanitarian aid workers - in the dark.
Betting on a war where hundreds of thousands of people are dying and millions are suffering is immoral and disgusting, and I will never support it or take part in any of it. Your actions on the internet have real life consequences, even if they aren't immediately apparent and obvious to you.

The Thai military reports that Cambodia has launched more than 3,160 BM-21 Grad rockets and carried out 125 drone strikes so far during the renewed conflict.
New satellite imagery reveals that Russia has installed a large number of new hangars for storing Geran-2 drones at Donetsk International Airport. Each of these hangars fits one drone and are used for storage right before launches are carried out.
Additionally, a total of 4 static ramp launchers are visible, along with one lane for vehicle-based launches. These upgrades are part of a larger effort observed at various launch points aimed at facilitating for increased production rates of drones, allowing for increased numbers to be used during large-scale attacks.

Last night, another combined missile and drone attack was carried out on the city of Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast.
Among the targets hit were the main power plant and the oil refinery. NASA FIRMS picked up a large fire burning at the refinery, despite heavy cloud cover over the city.
3 Iskander-M ballistic missiles were launched from the vicinity of Kursk City, Kursk Oblast - one of which was equipped with a cluster warhead. The Iskanders likely targeted the refinery.
Approximately 50 Geran-2 drones were also used. They likely primarily targeted energy infrastructure.

Overnight, around 8 Russian Geran-2 drones attacked energy infrastructure in Odesa City.
The target was likely the "Centrolit" 220 kV electrical substation (46.61796, 30.82342). A large fire subsequently broke out, resulting in power outages for parts of northern Odesa.

Over the last few days, the defence of Siversk has completely collapsed.
A fortress city that the Russians couldn't reach for nearly 4 years is about to be captured after just a week of fighting.
If this isn't a sign of how bad Ukraine's manpower shortages have got, I don't know what is.

🇹🇭🇰🇭⚡- Cambodian forces also launched a counterattack in the village of Trakoun, Poi Pet direction.
Footage shows Cambodian troops crossing a recently planted Thai barbed wire point, as well as taking down the Thai flag, replacing it with a Cambodian one. Most of the village is under Cambodian control.

The last Ukrainian defences in the besieged city of Myrnohrad are being breached by Russian forces, who have now entered the city centre.
The parts of the pocket still under firm Ukrainian control have decreased to around 2.8 km², compared to ~36 km² at the beginning of the siege.
Nevertheless, Russian FAB glide-bombs continue to strike the remaining blocks still under Ukrainian control. This video shows a FAB-1500 strike on a high-rise apartment building.

Iskander launch from Taganrog, Rostov Oblast
No missiles have been detected in Ukrainian airspace. Possibly the work of Russian air defence.
