Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced in the Velyka Novosilka direction and have at least partially closed the small salient southeast of Novodarivka.

Russian forces were able to advance from the flanks after bypassing the Ukrainian positions on the northern bank of the river, forcing a Ukrainian withdrawal northward.

Ukraine responded by drone-dropping explosives and flying FPV drones into the newly Russian captured trenches.

+ ~4.2km² in favour of Russia

A recent report by Pro-Ukrainian source "Deepstate" suggests that Russian forces have likely expanded their bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskil river for the 3rd day in a row.

After turning their foothold into a bridgehead yesterday, the growth has apparently turned exponential as Russian forces begun to take more ground. Two known trench fortifications were likely captured in the central part of this bridgehead. Additionally, they were likely able to enter and take up positions in the southern houses of Novomylnsk after assaulting Ukrainian positions there yesterday.

The length of the bridgehead was also reportedly expanded, as new positions were taken right next to the Oskil river further north.

Fierce clashes are currently taking place on the Western Aleppo axis between the Al-Nusra front which is a part of the HTS rebel coalition, and the SAA government forces.

HTS rebels attempted to infiltrate SAA positions held by the 46th regiment. The SAA quickly responded by shelling their supply routes and headquarters with heavy artillery and rockets, including the village of Darat Izza (as pictured above). One source reported that since yesterday evening, HTS has been evacuating frontline settlements in preparation for the operation, leading to the SAA and Syrian intelligence forces knowing in advance what was planned.

It is unknown what the outcome of the battles were, but it is reported that a number of HTS fighters were killed.

Joint Syrian-Russian warplanes are currently flying over the Aleppo and Idlib countryside with more warplanes taking off right now. It is possible that they will carry out airstrikes in the near future.

The village of Darat Izza, Syria, right now. It is being shelled with cluster munitions, likely in preparation for significant airstrikes.

Israeli forces are reportedly withdrawing from the town of Khiyam in southeastern Lebanon, where the bloodiest battle of the war was fought.

They apparently pulled out of the southern, eastern and central parts of the town, and are now only present on the outskirts.

A large combined Ukrainian drone and missile attack is underway on Crimea. Two waves of UAVs were launched from Odesa. The first consisted of at least a dozen UAVs, while the second wave consists of an estimated 50 UAVs, all of which are flying over the black Sea in the direction of Sevastopol. Neptune and S-200 missiles were also launched. 4 explosions were reported at the Saki airfield, although this was likely air defence.

Russian monitoring channels expect that Ukraine will launch Neptune anti-ship missiles, Storm Shadow cruise missiles and ATACMS ballistic missiles on Crimea during the UAV attack.

Russian air defence is still active at the Belbek airbase north of Sevastopol, locals report. It appears that the first UAV attack has not ended just yet.

Explosions at the Saki airbase, reportedly air defence.

Strong explosions in Sevastopol

Smoke is rising over the Black Sea Naval Marine Corps in Sevastopol after explosions were reported in the area.

Another powerful explosion in Sevastopol was reported

Joint Syrian-Russian airstrikes are now reported near the HTS controlled city of Idlib

An explosion was reported at the Balbek airbase in Sevastopol

This looks like one of Ukraine's biggest combined drone and missile attacks on Crimea to date.

There are reports of at least 2 Ukrainian UAVs being shot down over the coast of Crimea. Extensive Russian air defence operations continue.
