Explosion on the outskirts of Sumy

another missile to Sumy

Flying in from the northeast. 5 km away

4th missile to Sumy. These are likely Tornado-S rockets.

These were Tornado-S rockets. 4 have been used so far, striking at least three separate targets north of Sumy City near Stetskivka, Velyka Chernechchyna, and Pishchane.

I apologise for the delay,
March Km2 figure (net territory)

*Remember this is a net figure of Ukrainian territory.
If Ukraine gains on one axis, and Russia gains on another, it will cancel each other out.
Ukraine had success down in the south, whilst Russia pushed harder in the north

Every single March since the onset of the attritional setting for this war in early 2023 has been a low month for territorial gains. This is mainly due to poor weather conditions and the mud season, but Ukraine's "drone wall" tactics have made advances even more difficult for Russia. Expect advances to speed up in the near future.

Today (April 13), Hezbollah published a total of 75 statements regarding recent operations targeting Israel and the IDF in Israel and southern Lebanon, up from 60 on April 12.

This brings their total stated operations since the beginning of the war to 1,786, with an average of 41.53 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.

Unidentified missile in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

Kh-59/69 cruise missile

Flying west past Synelnykove to Dnipro

Approaching Dnipro from the southeast.

Disappeared southeast of Dnipro

Two Kh-59/69 cruise missiles were flying. Both were seemingly shot down by Ukrainian air defence prior to reaching Dnipro.

Russian Su-34/35s continue to operate near the Donetsk-Zaporizhzhia border. There may be additional Kh-59/69 launches.

In the Yunakivka and Khotin directions, Russian forces continued their assault operations, making new progress west of Yunakivka.

Following Ukrainian counterattacks towards the highway, Russian forces were able to clear the grey-zone west of Yunakivka and recapture the previously lost treeline positions southwest of the village. Additionally, under heavy artillery cover, they began infiltrating the village of Mala Korchakivka via the forest east of the settlement.

+ ~5.19 km² in favour of Russia.

2 mins from the city

Disappeared again. Probably shot down

In the Myropillya and Krasnopillya directions, Russian forces intensified their cross-border assault operations, making significant progress.

In the north, Russian forces cleared out additional Ukrainian positions in the border salient east of Myropillya and continued their assault operations in the area of Oleksandriya.

To the south, the Russians crossed the international border from Popovka and Milaevka, clearing a number of forest plantations and capturing the village of Myropilske. From there, they captured positions in additional forests, however supply into Myropilske is currently difficult.

To the southeast, Russian forces crossed the international border from the village of Demidovka and entrenched in the northern part of Prokhody, as well as some nearby forested areas. They also expanded their zone of control around Marine, levelling the front in the direction of Turya.

+ ~33.66 km² in favour of Russia.
