The Al-Quds brigades (The armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad) is still fighting in the destroyed city of Rafah in Southern Gaza, and fired Mortar shells at Israeli troops. They also captured an Israeli reconnaissance drone.

Hamas and the PIJ has been devastated in Rafah, with the vast majority of their fighters being killed or fleeing through the underground tunnels to more northern parts of the Gaza strip - many of which fled once they were encircled in the Tal al-Sultan district.

However, it appears that surviving remnants of Hamas and the PIJ are still fighting, with sporadic clashes happening every now and then.

Zelensky has accused Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico of opening a second energy front against Ukraine.

"His threats to cut electricity supply during winter attacks Ukraine's power grid and puts Slovakia at risk of losing vital energy compensation. Supporting Russia’s aggression is immoral. Fico’s short-sighted politics will harm Slovakia and its people," he said on his official X account.

In the Toretsk direction, Russian forces have reportedly retreated from their positions in central Shcherbynivka after failing to consolidate their positions there.

However, Russia has reportedly advanced south of Toretsk, capturing the wastewater treatment plant and the driving training area.

The Kremlin stated that Russian air defence was active when the Azerbaijan airlines plane attempted to land in Grozny, Chechnya, before it was diverted east.

Russian President Vladimir Putin apologised for the fact that the "tragic incident occurred in Russian airspace" but didn't specifically state that it was Russian air defence that shot it down.

Russia's investigative committee has opened a criminal case in relation to the crash.

The Houthis have announced that they targeted the Nevatim air base in the Negev desert in Southern Israel with a "Palestine-2" hypersonic ballistic missile. However, footage from the Jordan Valley shows that it was shot down by Israeli air defences. Apparently, the American-supplied THAAD missile defence system was used, which was deployed to Israel in October.

Around 15 minutes ago, two Joint American-British airstrikes were carried out on Yemen, in the Buhais area in the Midi district of the Hajjah governorate.

The launches from Gaza

1 was intercepted, the status of the second missile is unknown.

The launches were carried out from northern Gaza, where the IDF is currently operating.

Reportedly footage of a failed Israeli interception attempt over Jerusalem.

Specifically, Beit Hanoun.

IDF: Following the sirens that sounded at 16:14 in the areas of Jerusalem, Negev, and HaShfela, two projectiles that crossed from northern Gaza into Israeli territory were identified. Interceptors were launched toward the targets, the details are under review.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in western Kurakhove and entered the territory of the Kurakhove Thermal Power Plant.

After establishing control over the entirety of the residential part of the city, Russia continued their assault operations rather than taking time to consolidate their positions. Infantry attacked in westwards along the southern bank of the Kurakhovsky reservoir and entered the Thermal Power Plant, taking up positions in its easternmost buildings.

If they are able to consolidate their positions here, Russia will be able to exploit this foothold, use it as a forward troop concentration point and expand it westwards into the rest of the Thermal Power Plant. However, this depends on the progress on the southern flank near Zelenivka and Kostyantynopil as if Russian forces don't get within small-arms fire range of the highway leading out of Kurakhove soon, they will most likely continue storming the Thermal Power Plant head-on.
