A Russian channel affiliated with drone units operating in Kherson Oblast reports that Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on Russian drone operators, resulting in an unspecific number of casualties.

Recently, Ukraine has embarked on a campaign likely aimed at pushing Russian drone operators back from Oleshky and Hola Prystan to alleviate pressure on Kherson City and surrounding settlements.

⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦 The U.S. State Department has approved a possible $108.1 million military sale to Ukraine for sustainment and support of FrankenSAM HAWK air defense missile systems.

The Iranian Armed Forces have been placed on the highest level of alert.

At the same time, high activity of fighter jets over Iraqi Kurdistan, and activity of Iranian fighter jets over western Iran was recorded. There is also a high level of GPS jamming in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iran.

Hezbollah released footage showing the launch of two Sayyad-2 Kamikaze drones towards IDF positions in the town of Aadaysit Marjaayoun, southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli "Namer" APC in the town of Houla, southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah released footage showing the launch of 107mm "Radjir-1" rockets, 122mm Grad rockets, and 120mm rocket-assisted mortar shells towards IDF positions across multiple towards in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli Merkava tank in the city of Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon.

"morally superior people" btw.

— 🇮🇷 NEW: Iran closes its western airspace for night-time flights until Monday morning

@Middle_East_Spectator

This is nothing special, btw.

The Iranian air force has been conducting nightly patrol flights over western Iran, near the Iraqi border, for over a month.

Russian forces have captured the village of Charivne, Omelnyk direction, Zaporizhzhia Oblast (Polohy District).

Pre-war population: ~126.
Total land area: ~1.29 km².

The fighting for Charivne lasted approximately 10 days.

The number of settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblast falsely claimed by the Russian Ministry of Defence to be under Russian control has reached 29.

Yellow icons represent settlements that are contested, while blue icons represent settlements that are under full Ukrainian control. 15 of these settlements are contested, while the other 14 are under Ukrainian control.

Notably, the area shown in red has zero false claims made. This is the area where Russian forces are achieving the most advances. Nevertheless, the entire eastern part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast remains one of the most difficult parts of the frontline.

The eastern part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast is one of the most striking examples of the recent "death of the conventional frontline" in Ukraine.

A large zone of infiltration - up to 15 km wide in some places - is shrouded over this sector. In this area, both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers hold mixed and overlapping positions and strongpoints, often even encircling each other. Due to the high density of drones in the sky, most movements must be carried out in small groups of soldiers - or "infiltrators".

Often, when one side carries out a deep infiltration, the other may choose to ignore it, as attacking it with ground forces risks drawing fire on yourself. And in this war, being spotted from above is the worst thing that can happen, and is effectively a death sentence if you don't manage to withdraw or hide in a strong concrete bunker.

These tactics employed by both sides and the exceptionally high usage of drones results in "frontlines" like this, where the "line" has turned into a zone. Ukrainian and Russian forces then have their own "tendrils" sticking out into this zone, which they either use to try to advance, or block the other sides' attempts to advance.

Google Earth updated its satellite imagery of the southern Gaza Strip, revealing the scale of devastation as a result of the Israeli invasion, genocide, and ethnic cleansing.

All of Rafah City and most of Khan Younis has been flattened. Also visible in the new images is the massive tent cities housing displaced Palestinians.

I'll post closer-up images below ⬇️

The IDF stated that during an earlier Hezbollah drone attack on Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel, a drone was detected "falling" near the border with Lebanon.

It is unclear if "falling" means it was falling debris, or a drone divebombing to strike its target.

⚡️🇮🇱🇱🇧 N12: The IDF has reportedly decided to reduce its operational forces in southern Lebanon to the minimum level required to protect troops from drone threats and daily attacks.

The Israeli military is demanding a decision from the political leadership either to reach an agreement in Lebanon or grant the army broader freedom of military action.

Israeli officials believe the current situation, in which operational restrictions remain in place, “cannot continue.”
