Explosions in Chernihiv City.

Russian S8000 Banderol cruise missile attack.

Situation on the Dobropillya & Druzhkivka directions, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last few weeks, both Russian and Ukrainian forces continued their assault operations, with Russian forces focusing primarily on deep infiltrations behind Ukrainian lines.

In the east, Russian forces deepened their zone of infiltration within the village of Raiske (southern one) and began infiltrating east through the fields towards the southwestern outskirts of Druzhkivka in smaller numbers. They also managed to infiltrate a couple new groups of 2-3 soldiers into the Staroraiske area, operating near the mine complex.

To the west, the Russians continued attacking Ukrainian positions in the Novomykolaivka area and began deeper infiltrations behind their lines. Several small groups of 2-3 DRGs infiltrated northwest to Andriivka, before panning out to the Novoyavlenka, Starovarvarivka, and Rohanske areas, putting Ukrainian drone operator and artillery positions at risk.

To the southwest, Ukrainian forces cleared some of the forested gullies south of Hruzke and Vesele from earlier Russian infiltrations, and continued infiltrating south towards the Kucheriv Yar area. Russian forces continued attacking towards Kucheriv Yar and are attempting to advance in the area of the clay mines. From here, Russian infiltrator and DRG groups began infiltrating northwest past Zolotyi Kolodyaz into the Petrivka, Blahodat, Vesela Hora, Novotroitske, and Lidyne areas, putting additional Ukrainian drone operator and artillery positions at risk.

Further southwest, fighting continues for the railway line southwest of Rubizhne, while sporadic Russian infiltrations continue to occur in the Bilozerske, Myrove, and Vesele Pole areas.

+ ~7.24 km² in favour of Ukraine.

Situation on the Dobropillya direction, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last few weeks, Russian forces significantly intensified their offensive operations in the Dobropillya direction following a brief operational pause, and have entered the city from multiple directions.

In the northeast, Russian forces continued their infiltrations along both banks of the Byk River, entering the eastern part of Hannivka and the northeastern streets of Dobropillya north of the Terykon. Individual Russian assault groups have once again begun infiltrating southwest towards the city centre, attempting to take up positions along the railway line just east of the high-rise blocks. Russian DRGs continue to sporadically infiltrate the Bokove area and nearby treelines. Ukrainian forces are conducting clearing operations, and are attempting to infiltrate additional groups of soldiers into the forests east of Hannivka in order to cut off the Russian infiltration route into the city.

To the south, Russian forces intensified their infiltrations up the the eastern edge of Dobropillya, and managed to re-enter the territory of the mine, where heavy fighting is underway. Individual infiltration groups are attempting to move deeper towards the southern suburbs to cut off Ukrainian positions in the southeastern part of the city. Infiltrations are also being intensified along the railway line into the southeastern private sector of Dobropillya.

Further south, after establishing full control over the city of Bilytske, the Russians cleared the terykons northwest of Bilytske and the treelines to the north, and took up positions just east of the Bilytska Mine where heavy fighting continues. Further infiltrations into Chernihivika are also underway. Ukrainian forces are struggling to reinforce their strongpoints south of Dobropillya due to repeated Russian infiltrations into the city, which is allowing the Russians to advance further in this crucial area near Bilytske.

To the southwest, Russian forces cleared the former mine complex southwest of Bilytske and established a foothold in the southern and eastern parts of Svitle. Heavy fighting is now underway for the western streets of Svitle and the neighbouring town of Vodyanske.

To the west, the Russians cleared the strongpoints on the northern outskirts of Shevchenko and began infiltrating throughout Matyasheve and the fields east of Novohryshyne. In response, Ukraine withdrew their forces north of the river and carried out an airstrike on a dam in Shevchenko to flood the river downstream. Russian forces subsequently captured Matyasheve, the treelines to the west and southwest, and gained a foothold in the eastern part of Novohryshyne. Infiltrations are now being intensified further west along the southern bank of this river into the southern street of Novofedorivka.

From the direction of Matyasheve, Russian soldiers are moving north through the gap in the multi-layered defensive line into the village of Dobropillya, where they gained a foothold in the southern streets, and are panning out to the west, north, and northeast, capturing positions in the forest plantations directly south of Dobropillya city. From here, they are entering the southwestern industrial zone and adjacent high-rise buildings, where heavy fighting is ongoing with Ukrainian forces. More consistent infiltrations are taking place in the fields southwest of Dobropillya city, with DRGs now operating on the approaches to Raksha and in the southeastern part of Svyatohorivka. Simultaneously, Russian soldiers are launching assaults on Ukrainian positions north of the reservoir near Nadiia, as well as in the fields north of Krasnopodillya.

To the southwest, the Russians cleared a number of treelines north of Vasylivka and Myrne, and began expanding their zone of infiltrating further northwest, supporting operations in the Novofedorivka and Novohryshyne area. Additionally, after capturing the rest of Myrne, they are attempting to enter the neighbouring village of Hulive.

+ ~34.51 km² in favour of Russia.

Ansarallah released footage showing the interception of a Saudi AH-6i attack helicopter off the coast of Najran, Yemen.

The Saudi-led coalition had previously claimed that the helicopter went down due to a "mechanical failure". This footage disproves that claim.

Old footage will soon be very easy to spot.

Propaganda flag planting operations will be much more difficult to fake.

Close-up footage showing the impact of a Russian RM-48U modified S-400 ballistic missile in Kyiv last night.

Note the much smaller explosion compared to impacts of Iskander-Ms.

Footage showing the impact of 8 Russian RM-48U modified S-400 ballistic missiles in eastern Kyiv.

These missiles were seemingly all targeting the same location (CHP-4 power plant). This video highlights how low their accuracy is, with the strikes being very spread out.

Only two of the missiles actually managed to hit the power plant, while the rest fell in the surrounding areas. Two of the impacts are only heard, and not visible in this clip.

Russian Su-34s are attacking the southern outskirts of Zaporizhzhia City with KAB glide-bombs.

At least 5 strikes have been carried out so far on the Balabyne-Kushuhum area, including two which were likely KAB-1500s (the other 3 were probably KAB-500s). Ukrainian air defence attempted to shoot down the remaining three but failed.

Never a good sign

❗️Information from the ground.

Russian DRG (sabotage and reconnaissance) groups have been reported in the villages of Kushuhum and Balabyne, right on the outskirts of Zaporizhzhia City.

They are equipped with AK-12 rifles and are fluent in Ukrainian, attempting to blend in with the civilian population and the military. There is a risk of repeated DRG infiltrations into this area. It is unknown how many are currently there, but their number is likely small.

Presumably, they moved up the near-unbroken chain of settlements from Prymorske to Malokaterynivka and Kushuhum, using the residential areas as cover from Ukrainian drones, while trying to avoid detection from soldiers operating in the area.

Alerts have already been sent out to Ukrainian units operating in this direction.

Do you guys think this is what Gerisamov meant when he said Russian forces captured Malokaterynivka and are "5 km from Zaporizhzhia"? 🤣🤣

U.S. Embassies in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Jerusalem have issued security alerts, warning of potential escalation with Iran and Ansarallah.

The U.S. State Department has issued security alerts for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, Lebanon, and Qatar, warning of potential escalation with Ansarallah and Iran.

Jet-powered KAB glide-bombs to Dnipro.

Edit: explosions in Dnipro

It seems this report by the Washington Post was correct.

Not a single Patriot interceptor missile was launched by Ukraine during tonight's Russian missile attack on Kyiv.
