Russia had deployed one of their elite Rubicon drone units to the Pokrovs'ke direction in Dnipropetrovsk/Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

It appears that they are going to clamp down on Ukrainian logistics in an attempt to halt and begin reversing the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

The IDF claims that a precision airstrike on Tehran killed the commander of Iran's Basij Unit Gholamreza Soleimani.

In the Komyshuvakha direction, both Ukrainian and Russian forces have advanced over the last few weeks.

In the east, Russian forces pushed Ukrainian formations out of the northern streets of Mali Shcherbaky and established control over the treelines to the north and northwest, threatening any remaning Ukrainian infiltrators north of Stepove with encirclement.

In the west, Ukrainian forces continued to counterattack in Stepnohirsk, clearing additional streets west of the high-rise block and engaging in battles for Radianska Street. They also penetrated Russian lines east of the high-rises, and reached the southeastern part of the town.

+ ~5.75 km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~0.29 km² in favour of Ukraine.

Rocket alerts in northern Israel

This was from an Iranian ballistic missile, which was intercepted over Lebanon.

Interceptor activity seen over Nahariyya, northern Israel.

Unidentified missile in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

This is an Iskander-M

Disappeared in the region.

And now the sirens from the ballistic threat start 🫠

There is some installation active near Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, meaning that the aerial target detected was likely an S-300 air defence missile targeting Ukrainian UAVs rather than an Iskander.

In the Omelnyk direction, Russian forces continued their intensified assault operations and have made significant progress over the last few weeks.

In the south, Russian forces occupied the remaining 2022-era Ukrainian positions southwest of Hulyaipole, and infiltrated further northwest along the tactical heights towards Huliaipilske. They also re-entered and recaptured the village of Myrne, as well as the tactical heights to the north.

To the north, Russian forces broke through Ukrainian positions southwest of Zaliznychne and advanced along the highway, capturing new treeline positions in the direction of Huliaipilske, while other assault groups began attacking south forcing the remaining Ukrainian formations to begin withdrawing from their last positions in the area of the railway line. Furthermore, the Russians broke through Ukrainian positions west of Zaliznychne, capturing numerous treeline positions, before entering and capturing the village of Hirke. Attacks are now underway on the treelines and forest plantations south of Hirke, which have found themselves between two pincers.

Further north, Russian forces improved their positions northwest of Sviatopetrivka and captured the village of Tsvitkove and the surrounding areas after prolonged, costly battles. Meanwhile, fighting continues on the eastern outskirts of Staroukrainka, as well as in the fields east of Zalizhnyche and the western part of the town.

In the north, the Russians cleared Pryluky again and recaptured the treelines north and west of the village. From here, DRGs are infiltrating the villages of Kosivtseve and Rizdvyanka, where Ukrainian forces are carrying out regular clearing operations.

+ ~40.22 km² in favour of Russia.
