A short while ago, a Russian ballistic missile was launched at Sumy district. It struck a target outside Sumy itself. Explosions were reported in the area.

An Israeli airstrike on what was probably an ammunition depot in Tartus. The explosion was recorded as a magnitude 3 earthquake on the Richter scale.

Ukrainian formations in Makarivka (South of Velyka Novosilka) are now in an operational encirclement.

There are just 2.9km between forward Russian units and the last supply line out of Kurakhove.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continue to advance in central Kurakhove and have made significant progress.

After establishing a foothold in the eastern high-rise buildings, Russian forces began attacking at multiple points, overwhelming the limited Ukrainian defenders. They were able to advance towards the main Ukrainian stronghold in School no. 1. Fierce battles broke out for the school, but eventually Ukraine fell back to the city council and surrounding 3-story buildings which also eventually fell.

Russian forces then advanced in the north of the city centre along the highway towards the fish farm. Ukraine then conducted a tank counterattack but failed to make any advances.

The main Ukrainian defence outside the Thermal Power Plant coalesces around the western-most high-rise buildings. There are also some Ukrainian formations still in the main part of the city centre near Sobornyy Avenue and Pushkina street.

+ ~0.50km² in favour of Russia

I just realised, Russia is less than 10km from the borders of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

This time last year they were around 52km away.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces marginally advanced in the Siversk direction.

Here, a Russian APC advanced from the railway line and dropped of Russian soldiers. These soldiers then went on to clear the Ukrainian positions in the treeline.

These positions are on the high ground. If the rest of the heights are captured, advances on southern Siversk will become easier.

+ ~1.49km²

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the direction of Ukrainka, capturing new treeline positions.

After they bypassed the village of Pushkino from the south, this small sector of the front largely stalled as the main effort was to push Ukraine out of Pushkino and advance on Novoolenivka from the north. Now that this has likely been acomplished, Russian forces appear to have restarted offensive operations in the direction of Ukrainka.

Russian tanks advanced through the lowlands near the village's eastern outskirts but were unable to reach it. However, the position of these tanks indicates that Russian forces managed capture the two treelines to the east, likely as a result of small infantry assaults.

The territory to the west of this advance continues to go downhill, meaning that Russia will be able to advance with relative ease towards the border of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. There are also little to no defensive fortifications in this area which makes the defense of this territory even more difficult for Ukraine than it already would've been.

+ ~1.37km² in favour of Russia.

Lebanese outlets report that Israeli mechanized forces, reinforced with bulldozers, are advancing into the inner neighborhoods of Naqoura, in Southern Lebanon.

The IDF reported that a UAV launched from Yemen was shot down by an Israeli Navy Missile boat in the Mediterranean Sea. As the UAV was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory, no sirens were sounded.

Newly released images reveal the scale of destruction in Rafah, southern Gaza as the Israeli ground operation in the city continues.

HTS leader Abu Muhammad Al-Jolani has formally condemned any aggression on Syria and has called on Israel to stop their bombings “as the Assad regime is no more”.

Today, one Russian Tu-95ms aircraft redeployed from Olenya airbase in Murmansk Oblast to Ukrainsk Airbase in Amur Oblast (Southeastern Russia)

This is interesting as for a while Russia was focusing on accumulating strategic bombers at Olenya airbase for combat sorties.

We should get new satellite imagery of Olenya airbase soon which will give us a better idea of what the situation is there.

According to Israeli media, 2 Israeli soldiers were killed and others injured due to the collapse of a building in Rafah.

Reuters: An Israeli technical team is in Doha for working-level talks with Qatari mediators on "remaining issues" in a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, an official with knowledge of the talks told Reuters on Monday.

Joint American-British airstrikes were carried out on Sana’a, Yemen a short time ago .
