Russian Geran-4 jet-drones struck three more dry cargo vessels in the western Black Sea, as well as a ship claimed to be used by Ukraine to launch drone-boats.

Explosions in Zaporizhzhia City. Russian KAB glide-bomb attack.

At least 3 strikes so far.

The city of Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, has come under very heavy Russian attacks in the last 12 hours.

Overnight, at least 16 KAB glide-bombs struck the vicinity of the city centre. Another 11+ strong explosions were also heard in the city centre and surrounding suburbs throughout the early morning hours, although its unclear if this was from KABs or MLRS strikes.

The outskirts of Kramatorsk from both the eastern and southern directions also came under heavy shelling throughout the night.

Ukraine's SkyFall defence company has been developing a new drone for evacuating injured soldiers from the frontline.

This hexa-copter drone is capable of carrying loads of up to 150 kg with a range of 15 km, and can reach speeds of 105 km/h. The drone is guided by an integrated AI system as a backup if communications are lost, and contains Starlink modules as well. Frontline testing has already begun this month.

The Ukrainian General Staff claims that overnight mid-range drone strikes struck a Russian "Nebo-U" radar system in Krasnodar Krai.

The Washington Post reports that Ukraine is down to their last couple of Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles.

Ukraine reportedly had around 10 on October 7, and used most of these during the most recent Russian large-scale missile attack on Kyiv.

Today marks exactly three years since the beginning of the disastrous Ukrainian river crossing operation in the village of Krynky, Kherson Oblast.

The operation dragged on for nearly 9 months and resulted in the deaths of over 1,000 Ukrainian marines.

Reuters reports that the order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside the White House, but not from President Trump himself.

Regarding the so-called "Vovchansk Pocket".

There has been a lot of discourse recently about the status of this salient, with many repeating claims about Russia encircling and clearing the entire area.

As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Neither the Russian nor Ukrainian maps are in any way accurate in this sector.

This salient is more and more resembling a no-mans-land, with large grey-zones slowly merging into infiltration zones, while each side holds "islands" of control and intermingled positions throughout this vast area. There are numerous villages, treelines, gullies, and forested areas that can be used as infiltration routes for both sides.

Russia has not encircled this area, let along cleared it, but it would also be incorrect to say Ukraine holds a stable defence here. In fact, there are likely no more than 150 Ukrainian soldiers present throughout this entire 500 km² area. Most of the defence is being held with drones, and with soldiers on the immediate flanks just south of the salient. Some small Ukrainian assault groups remain present within the salient to conduct clearing operations against small Russian infiltrators.

The Russian zone of infiltration is increasing, and so is the grey-zone, which can be characterised as a zone of repeated infiltration. The areas marked as an infiltration zone on my map are very approximate, and only cover areas where Russian soldiers have been confirmed to have operated. The infiltration and grey-zones are likely larger than what is shown here, but I will not extend these zones until I am able to identify where they have been enlarged.

Logistics into this salient is very difficult for Ukraine due to the wide infiltration zone, and it will be difficult for them to hold it, but its not ruled out that the Russian offensive will eventually stall.

Btw, this new chat rule also extends to fanatics from the pro-Iranian and pro-Palestinian spaces (resistards, as I call them) as well.

As for Zionists, well, they’re basically all fanatics anyway so most of them are banned one way or another 😁
