Iran has issued a NOTAM, closing its airspace to all civilian aircraft.

Missile defences have been put on their highest alert, with air defence reportedly ordered to shoot down any aircraft entering their airspace without prior identification.

Heavy Israeli fighter jet activity in northern Israel. Iranian fighter jets have also taken off.

Explosions were heard in multiple cities in Iraq from fighter jets breaking the sound barrier.

It’s unclear who these aircraft belong to.

The UK FCDO has advised against all non essential travel to Israel and Palestine.

Additional fighter jet activity reported near the IDF-occupied Golan heights in southern Syria.

This doesn’t necessarily mean there will be an American/Israeli attack on Iran today.

Reports suggest that a U.S. strike carrier group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln is redeploying from the South China Sea to CENTOM’s area of responsibility in the Middle East, and will take around 6 days to get there.

⚡️🇮🇷 Iran has extended its airspace closure until 7AM local time.

⚡️🇺🇸🇻🇪🇶🇦Reuters: The U.S. has completed its first sales of the $2 billion Venezuelan oil deal between Washington D.C. and Caracas.

Revenue from the estimated $500 million sale is being held in a government bank account.

The main account is located in Qatar, which is seen as a neutral country where funds can be moved with U.S. approval and without risk of it being seized.

At least two Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles impacted the suburbs of Mykolaiv City.

Repeated launches from Crimea are reported.

A large fire is seen burning at the impact site.

Russian forces have captured the village of Komarivka, Hlukhiv direction, Sumy Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~116.
Total land area: ~1.22 km².

The fighting for Komarivka lasted approximately 18 days.

Kh-59/69 cruise missile to Konotop, Sumy Oblast.

Iskander from Feodosia, Crimea, to Odesa

Explosion in Odesa

It impacted in Chornomorsk, just south of Odesa

The impact took place in the area of the Chornomorsk Port. Smoke is seen rising.

Russian forces have captured the village of Prylipka, Bilyi Kolodyaz direction, Kharkiv Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~100.
Total land area: ~0.32 km².

The fighting for Prylipka lasted approximately 40 days.

In the Komyshuvakha direction, Russian forces continued their offensive operations, making further significant progress in the direction of the Konka River.

Over the last 10 days, Russian forces have been advancing towards the village of Novoyakovlivka. They first improved their positions in the treelines southeast of Lukyanivske, and once that village fell, they were able to penetrate further northeast up a gulley, reaching Novoyakovlivka. From there, they were able to enter the western streets of the settlement, where fighting is now ongoing.

Once this spearhead had formed, efforts were quickly made to strengthen its flanks. Russian assault groups advanced east along the treelines on the tactical heights from the newly captured Lukyanivske, establishing control over new positions southwest and west of Novoyakovlivka. Infiltrations are now being carried out into the neighbouring village of Novoboikivske, as well as into the village of Pavlivka, to the south of Novoyakovlivka, after new positions were captured west of the settlement.

+ ~7.97 km² in favour of Russia.

Current trends suggest that another large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine involving strategic bombers will take place in the next 1-4 days.

Currently I'm trying to determine some additional info about movements, so I will make a follow up post with more details when some things clear up.
