The Ukrainian Air Force indicates that the 4 Kh-31P anti-radar missiles launched yesterday were actually P-800 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles launched from Crimea.

They impacted the city of Chornomorsk, Odesa Oblast.

Russian forces have captured the village of Markove, Kramatorsk direction, Donetsk Oblast (Kramatorsk District).

Pre-war population: ~413.
Total land area: ~1.48 km².

The fighting for Markove lasted approximately 7 months.

I intend to post the next series of Ukraine map updates today, however, due to me being extremely busy over the last few weeks, there is a lot of older updates which will be included. But, in general, most of these changes are from the last three weeks.

As always, the interactive map is updated before any posts.

Situation on the Stepnohirsk direction, Zaporizhzhia Oblast:

Over the last few weeks, Ukrainian forces have continued their counterattacks, while Russian forces launched new assault operations further east.

In the west, after bringing in reinforcements, Ukrainian forces managed to expand their bridgehead south of the Sukhyy River in the northern part of Plavni, improving their positions towards the centre of the village. Other assault groups were able to capture the overpass southwest of Stepnohirsk and the adjacent forests, linking up with the Plavni bridgehead. Small groups of Ukrainian soldiers are now attempting to infiltrate further south along the highway and through Plavni towards the northern outskirts of Kamyanske.

To the east, Ukrainian forces advanced east from the overpass to the southern streets of Stepnohirsk, where they are attempting to clear Ahrana Street from Russian forces. They are also continuing their counterattacks in the western part of Stepnohirsk and towards the southern microdistrict, but without much success.

To the southeast, Russian forces began counterattacking northeast of Kamyanske, attempting to clear the the forested gulleys there. Ukrainian forces continued their counterattacks in this area, and resumed assault operations towards the northern outskirts of Lobkove.

Further east, Russian forces improved their positions in the treelines northeast of Stepove and are beginning to carry out deep infiltrations towards the southern bank of the Kalnachak River, while Ukrainian forces continue infiltrations towards the northwestern outskirts of Stepove. Additionally, following earlier Ukrainian counterattacks, the northwestern part of Mali Shcherbaky moved back into the grey-zone as Russian forces intensify their infiltrations north of the village. Ukrainian forces are attempting to enter Mali Shcherbaky in small groups from the north.

+ ~0.98 km² in favour of Ukraine.
+ ~0.94 km² in favour of Russia.

Edit: sorry, minimap is incorrect.

At least 2 ballistic missile launches from Khomeyn, western Iran.

These missiles (and drones) likely targeted Iraqi Kurdistan.

Explosions were heard in Erbil.

It seems they actually targeted Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan, where a fire broke out after the impacts.

Ukrainian 425th Regiment "Skelya" reports directly to Sirskyi and Zelenskyi that Kostyantynivka was cleared.

The truth is that the city was NOT cleared, that this is a stupid propaganda stunt just like Russia's, only contributing to risk the exposure of their position.

The direct nomination of Zelenskyi and Sirskyi should already tell enough about who this (false) claim is directed to and for what purpose.
I can only hope that, at least, they report the true state of affairs to the command.

Unfortuantely, such stunts work very well to show them to the general public, so it's only fair to believe that they will continue to be replicated for many months or years to come.

Skala made similar claims for Kozacha Lopan, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and now Kostyantynivka.

One of the reasons why they are doing this is to restore their image in the media, which has been very negative in recent months due to their numerous scandals, which seem to keep piling on top of each other.

Claims like this aren't meant to fool analysts or people who closely follow the war. They are designed to influence the minds of the other 99%, which is made up of the general public, primarily in the West.

Situation on the Orikhiv direction, Zaporizhzhia Oblast:

Russian forces intensified their assault operations in recent weeks, making advances in multiple important areas towards Orikhiv.

In the west, Russian forces advanced east along the highway from Shcherbaky, capturing several treeline positions, before advancing through the treelines north of the highway. Other assault groups are advancing along the treelines on the tactical heights to the south, attempting to squeeze the Ukrainians out of their strongpoints between these two advances.

To the east, following heavy fighting, Russian forces captured a number of strongpoints in the treelines south of Novoandriivka and are now infiltrating towards the centre of the village.

Further east, the Russians cleared forward positions previously held by Ukrainian special forces in the Uspenivska Gulley northeast of Robotyne, and improved their positions along the highway to the north. Infiltrations continue into the southern streets of Novodanylivka.

+ ~12.15 km² in favour of Russia.
