2 new Russian Geran-2/Gerbera drones entered Donetsk Oblast, flying past the frontline near Bilytske. There are now at least 18 detected in Ukrainian airspace.

Additionally, a reconnaissance drone is operating near the city centre of Kramatorsk.

What a ceasefire...

Edit: 3 more Geran/Gerbera drones just entered Donetsk Oblast. At least 21 in total so far.

New Ukrainian drones heading towards Horlivka, Donetsk Oblast.

An Israeli drone strike on a Hamas security checkpoint in the Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip has killed at least 3 Palestinians and wounded multiple others.

Situation in southern Lebanon as of May 9, 2026 - Western Sector:

The IDF has intensified their ground operations in southwestern Lebanon, making new progress in three different areas.

In the northwest, Israeli forces cleared the remaining part of Chamaa while other forces captured the two hills south of the village.

To the east, the IDF cleared the eastern outskirts of Tayr Harfa and advanced east, capturing the neighbouring village of Jebbayn, thereby linking up with forces operating in Yarine and Oum Touteh. From there, they pushed further east down the road to Chihine and the fields to the east in the direction of Salhaneh, where demolitions are now ongoing.

To the south, Israeli forces crossed the international border from Arav Al-Aramsha, capturing the southern ruins of Dhayra opposite the border, and clearing the hills in the pocket to the east.

+ ~16.67 km² in favour of the IDF.

In my opinion, most/all of these Russian drones are Gerbera decoy drones. They are flying very erratically and constantly disappearing from radars.

For the first time ever, Hezbollah released footage showing two fibre-optic FPV drone strikes on an Israeli Iron Dome battery and its crew in northern Israel.

If I were Hezbollah, I would focus on targeting these batteries as much as possible to try force them south, allowing for their rockets and drones to impact border areas at a much higher rate.

With the ends of the 3-day ceasefire in Ukraine, fighting has now resumed at full intensity. Launches of KAB glide-bombs and heavy shelling has resumed, while launches of Geran-2 drones from several locations has been recorded.

Additionally, preparations for another large-scale, combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine involving strategic bombers and other missiles were observed around five days ago, and are being finalised now. More info on that later.

Possible Iskander-M launch from Kursk Oblast

No missiles are detected in Ukrainian airspace.

There is a large-scale Russian Geran-2 drone attack on Ukraine ongoing right now. More than 60 Geran-2/Gerbera drones are detected in Ukrainian airspace, most of which are flying to Kyiv Oblast.

Drones have so far attacked targets in/near Dnipro, Kyiv, and Kharkiv Oblast.

A couple of minutes ago, during an ongoing mass-bombing raid on Ukrainian positions in the Komyshuvakha direction, a Russian KAB glide-bomb failed in flight and fell in/near the town of Mykhailivka, Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

It is currently unclear if it impacted a residential area with civilians.

Regarding the upcoming combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine:

Preparations for this attack were noted 5-6 days ago, which are being finalised now. Currently, all signs are pointing towards an attack tomorrow night or the night after, although this is not a fixed prediction.

4-7 Tu-95MS strategic bombers, 2-3 Tu-160M strategic bombers, and Iskander-M ballistic missiles will be used. There is also a possibility of Kalibr cruise missiles being launched from the Black Sea Fleet. Hundreds of Geran-2 drones will also be used.

The highest threat is to Western Ukraine from the Kh-101 cruise missiles, and to central Ukraine from the Iskander-M ballistic missiles. Kyiv was also mentioned as a possible target a few days ago, however that may have been in relation to an attack not involving Kh-101 cruise missiles.

There is a possibility that this attack is conducted in two parts across one day, with Geran-2 drones and ballistic missiles being used between 12am and 5am, while Kh-101 cruise missiles and Kalibrs are used any time after 8am.

Hezbollah released footage showing rocket launches towards IDF positions in Al-Bayada, southern Lebanon.

Al-Bayada continues to be the main target for Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli Merkava tank in the town of Al-Bayada, southern Lebanon. The drone struck the closed rear hatch of the tank.

Notably, Hezbollah drone operators are getting more and more accurate with their strikes. Some of the first videos showed missed hits, however almost all of the new ones show impacts, including on moving targets (soldiers).

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli command post in a building in the town of Al-Bayada, southern Lebanon.

The drone flew through the open window, before detonating against an inner wall, likely damaging any equipment inside.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli Merkava tank in the town of Al-Bayada, southern Lebanon.

Notably, they were able to get a reconnaissance drone over the target to film and adjust the strike. However, the drone detonated against the front of the tank's turret, likely only causing minor damage.

Three Russian Geran-2 drones struck the Pokrov Solar Substation in the city of Pokrov, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
