Claims by the Russian MoD regarding the capture of Dobropillya are obviously false, but the situation is continuing to deteriorate for Ukraine. Something needs to be done very soon if Ukraine intends on holding the city over the winter.

The Russian command is intent on capturing Dobropillya before winter sets in, and is taking advantage of the recent fog to carry out large attacks using buggies and motorcycles. Areas surrounding the city are being literally flooded by Russian infantry, and new reinforcements are constantly arriving.

The Russian "Admiral Makarov" frigate, which was damaged by Ukrainian drones on August 12, was the ship which launched ~6 Kalibr cruise missiles at Kryvyi Rih today.

During the past 2 months, the ship was repaired at Novorossiysk Naval Base, and is now able to launch Kalibr cruise missiles again.

The IRGC has attacked an oil tanker with an RPG launched from a small attack boat, damaging the ship's aft port quarter.

The incident occurred in the Persian Guld, 78 nautical miles northeast of Al Jubayl, Saudi Arabia.

Everyone always talks about how chaotic the frontline is, and what is called the "death of the conventional frontline" in Ukraine, but I thought I should make a visualisation to show you all what that might actually look like.

This is a map showing my view of where each side may hypothetically be holding a position in the Kostyantynivka direction, to give you an idea of how deep this "infiltration zone" goes.

When someone asks "why cant you just map all of Kostyantynivka as under Russian control if the Ukrainian positions there aren't militarily significant anymore", this is what I mean when I say Ukraine still holds too large of a presence. Obviously this map isn't designed to show exact areas where positions are held, but it's based on my interpretation of what the situation could theoretically look like.

I also think this visualisation gives a good idea of the criteria I have for what should be considered a "control zone, a "grey-zone", and an "infiltration zone".

Russia continued their large-scale strike campaign against Rivne Oblast in western Ukraine last night, with explosions being reported in the towns/cities of Kvasyliv, Zdolbuniv, Klevan, and Volodymyrets.

The attached video shows the city of Kvasyliv in the early hours of this morning.

The IRGC released footage showing the moment a second supertanker was struck by an Iranian naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz.

Ansarallah claims that their air defences shot down a Saudi Air Force AH-64 Apache attack helicopter off the coast of Najran, Yemen.

Ansarallah claims that their air defences shot down a Saudi Vestel Karayel drone over the Hajjah Governorate of Yemen.

According to them, this is the fourth drone of this type to be shot down this year, and the 7th overall.
