In the Bilyi Kolodyaz, Ternova, and Lyptsi directions, Russian forces continued their assault operations, making additional progress.

In the east, Russian forces consolidated in the central part of Hfraske, following attacks from the north and east, and have begun fighting for the southern streets of the village. They also managed to capture a large part of the forest west of Symynivka, and continued assault operations in the direction of southern Symynivka.

To the west, the Russians continued attacking Ukrainian positions in the southernmost part of Starytsya, but have not achieved any recent success. They also carried out a number of unsuccessful attacks on Zelene, and are now trying to gain a foothold in the first houses of the village.

+ ~2.23 km² in favour of Russia.

With the end of the energy truce, Russia is completing its preparations for the next large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine, which will likely take place in the coming days.

- 3-4 Tu-95MS strategic bombers redeployed from Ukrainka Airbase in the Far East to either Engels-2 or Olenya Airbase.

- Iskander-M ballistic missiles have been delivered to OTRK installations in Kursk Oblast, Bryansk Oblast, Rostov Oblast, and Crimea.

- Accumulation of Geran-2 drones has slowed in recent days, but there is still more than enough ready for this next attack.

- At least 1 Su-57 has been equipped with Kh-59/69 cruise missiles at Akhtubinsk Airbase, Astrakhan Oblast.

Russian forces have captured the village of Pryluky, Omelnyk direction, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~58.
Total land area: ~0.51 km².

Update:

All Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers that are currently on combat duty have redeployed from Ukrainka Airbase in the far east to Engels-2/Olenya/Dyagilevo.

As of now, 2 flights to Olenya and 1 flight to Engels-2 have been confirmed. 1 other aircraft is still airborne. It's landing location, along with 3 others, will be clarified later.

Presumably, they were already equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.

Interestingly, 1 Tu-95MS which was previously used for training purposes has redeployed from Ukrainka Airbase to western Russia. It's unclear whether it will also take part in the next large-scale missile attack on Ukraine.

A Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile struck a Ukrainian HIMARS GMLRS launcher near the village of Mala Ivanivka, Kharkiv Oblast.

It's currently unclear if this was a real launcher or a decoy.

Ukrainian HIMARS have been increasingly targeting Belgorod City in recent weeks, so it would make sense for there to be an increased number of Russian strikes on their positions.

Israeli fighter jets have entered Lebanese airspace. An Israeli reconnaissance drone is currently circling over Ain Qana.

Three Israeli airstrikes have targeted the town of Kfar Tibnit, southern Lebanon.

One Israeli airstrike also targeted Ain Qana, southern Lebanon.

The IDF claims that the target of the airstrikes were weapons warehouses used by Hezbollah.

Most/all of the Tu-95MS landed at Olenya Airbase, Murmansk Oblast, with none flying to Engels-2 Airbase. 7 were redeployed from Ukrainka Airbase in total.

That being said, this next attack will likely take place either tonight or tomorrow night. The highest threat is to Kyiv Oblast, Lviv Oblast, Volyn Oblast, Ternopil Oblast, and Zhytomyr Oblast. Other areas in central Ukraine may also be targeted.

Two explosions were heard in Sumy City from Russian Iskander-M strikes.

Two Iskanders were launched from the area of Tomarovka, Belgorod Oblast, and impacted a target somewhere south of Sumy City.

Deepstate has finally admitted the fall of Toretsk.

The next large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine will likely take place tonight.

In the image, there are two Tu-95MS strategic bombers equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Engels-2 Airbase, Saratov Oblast. These are currently in the air, redeploying to Olenya Airbase, Murmansk Oblast.

The number of Tu-95MS at Olenya is being clarified, but it's somewhere between 7 and 10. 1 other Tu-95MS stationed at Engels-2 Airbase is also equipped with missiles.

Additionally, 2-4 Tu-160 strategic bombers have likely been equipped with missiles at Belaya Airbase.

Furthermore, two surface-carriers have reportedly been equipped with 16 Kalibr cruise missiles at Novorossiysk Naval Base, Krasnodar Krai.
