At least 10 cluster munitions fell in central Israel.

This is apparently a NATO intelligence assessment. There have been such assessments before that have turned out to be nothing, but its possible that we see the U.S. embassy in Kyiv put out a warning statement in the coming days.

As I said, nothing is confirmed, but the threat exists.

Patriot just tried to shoot down a Russian Su-34 over Kherson Oblast. The attempt failed, and the bomber flew away. I'm making a map of it now.

A short time ago, a Ukrainian patriot interceptor attempted to shoot down a Russian Su-34 near Chaplynka, Kherson Oblast, which was attempting to conducting a bombing run on Kherson City.

The attempt failed, and the Su-34 (covered by a Su-35 which was circling near Henichesk in a cover position) flew back to Maykop Airbase, Republic of Adygea.

A few minutes later, a second Su-34 covered by a another Su-35 flew on a different route past the Kherson-Crimea border, launching 2-3 KAB glide-bombs from north of Kalanchak, Kherson Oblast. The KABs impacted the northern suburbs of Kherson.

Currently, a third Su-34 is en route to the launch lines via Henichesk, and will also carry out launches of glide-bombs to Kherson.

Now we know Ukraine has deployed one of their valuable Patriot batteries to Kherson Oblast. This tactic has proven successful in shooting down Russian aircraft in the past, so Russia will likely be trying to hunt down and strike the system now.

The third Su-34 flying to the launch lines just abandoned its combat mission. It might have been targeted too.

Its over Crimea, flying southeast and then east back towards the Sea of Azov.

Currently, Russian reconnaissance drones are only operating near the frontline, as shown on the map.

It seems that the Patriot launches came from positions much deeper behind the lines in Mykolaiv Oblast, and were designed to "scare off" the Russian aircraft, rather than shoot them down, in order to prevent the Patriot battery from being targeted.

A shooting has occurred at the Israeli consulate in Istanbul. There are reports of 3 deaths and one injured policeman.

According to unconfirmed reports, the 3 killed were the unknown gunmen, while 2 police officers were injured.

Today (April 6), Hezbollah published a total of 61 statements regarding recent operations targeting Israel and the IDF in Israel and southern Lebanon, up from yesterday's 34.

This brings their total stated operations since the beginning of the war to 1,387, with an average of 41.37 per day since March 2.

Note: Hezbollah only announces a small fraction of the total operations carried out against the IDF, and often combines multiple attacks into one statement. This graph only counts total Hezbollah statements.

In the Komyshuvakha direction, Ukrainian forces continued their assault operations and have made significant progress in the direction of Kamyanske.

In the south, Ukrainian forces repelled Russian counterattacks northeast of Stepove and cleared positions in the grey-zone north of the village. From there, they pushed further west through the treelines and forest plantations north of the gulley, and are attempting to cut off the Russian salient south of Lukyanivske.

To the north, the Ukrainians repelled the second Russian attempt at capturing Novoyakovlivka, clearing the southwestern streets of the village, and also recaptured the western and central parts of Pavlivka. Furthermore, they resumed assault operations south of Lukyanivske, as well as towards the solar farm and the Stepnohirsk - Lukyanivske Road.

+ ~10.19 km² in favour of Ukraine.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. President Trump said that a whole civilisation will die tonight, though he does not want that to happen.

He claimed the U.S. now has “complete and total regime change” in Iran, with “different, smarter, and less radicalised minds” prevailing, and suggested that “something revolutionarily wonderful” could occur.

Trump's new ultimatum will expire in under 12 hours.

In the Orikhiv direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced.

Following two failed mechanised assaults, Russian forces began carrying out attacks with small groups of infantry. In the west, they improved their positions in the treelines towards the highway. Further east, they cleared some positions northeast of Robotyne that Ukrainian forces had previously infiltrated.

Meanwhile, at some point recently, Ukrainian forces recaptured the southern half of Novodanylivka. Other assault groups cleared the area west of the highway intersection and treelines southeast of Novodanylivka, from Russian infiltrators.

+ ~5.97 km² in favour of Ukraine.
+ ~1.47 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Omelnyk direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations and have made new progress southwest of Hulyaipole.

Russian forces advanced further west along the tactical heights northeast of Myrne, moving parallel with the strong Ukrainian fortifications. This was done in conjunction with clearing operations to the northeast, where the Ukrainians are withdrawing to avoid encirclement. Furthermore, the Russians continued infiltrating along the highway towards Huliaipilske and began attempts to enter the northwestern part of Zaliznychne.

To the north, Russian forces intensified their assault operations, with some small groups of infantry entering the eastern streets of Vozdvyzhivka and the agricultural buildings on its southeastern outskirts.

+ ~8.06 km² in favour of Russia.
