I've had a pretty shitty day today. I lost one, maybe two, of my good friends.
I won't be reporting anything else for now.

In the southwestern part of the Kursk salient, Russian forces continued their offensive towards Sudzha, and completed the capture of most of Sverdlikovo.
After expanding their bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Loknya River, Russian forces advanced south and captured a series of agricultural buildings and forest planatations, pushing Ukrainian forces to the neighbouring treeline. The grey zone now extends to the international border.
Russian forces are still clearing a few houses in the southwestern part of the village, where there are a few Ukrainian soldiers in the basements, however, the village will likely be fully captured in the coming hours, if it hasn't been already.
This advance means that Russian forces now have a much more solidified bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Loknya River. While it is still possible for Ukraine to push them back across, for now it can be used as a staging ground for attacks south of the village of Lebedevka and towards the Sumy - Sudzha highway.

Russian forces made a small advance in the northern part of their bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskil River.
They advanced from positions southeast of Yampolivka, capturing a treeline on the tactical heights. The goal of this advance was to level out the frontline in the north of the bridgehead, allowing for future advances further north.

On the northern Ukrainian bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Oskil River, Ukrainian forces advanced, recapturing a treeline.
Russian forces retreated from their positions for unknown reasons, and Ukrainian forces quickly moved in, taking them under their control. As this treeline is on the tactical heights, Ukrainian forces now have partial fire control over the village of Ivanivka to the east.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces advanced, capturing a Ukrainian forest stronghold.
After failing to capture the trenches by the highway to the north, Russian forces advanced south, capturing the forests, along with the stronghold dubbed "crab". This forced the AFU to retreat across the open fields to Stupochky, where they assumed a defensive posture in preparation for Russian assaults on the village.

On the eastern flank of Pokrovsk, Russian forces made a small advance, taking up new treeline positions near Zelene Pole.
They advanced northeast from their positions inside Zelene Pole, capturing a treeline, and reaching the intersection with the next treeline. It is becoming more and more clear that Russia is trying to develop an offensive on Tarasivka, by attacking from the flanks.

In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces advanced and recaptured the village of Pishchane.
They advanced from positions east of Vovkove, recapturing the forest plantations, before advancing into Pishchane from two directions.
In the south, Russian forces advanced into the village from the low-lying ground, taking up positions in the first houses. They then advanced deeper, capturing the rest of the residential area.
In the east, Russian forces once again entered the industrial zone under heavy Ukrainian FPV drone strikes. They panned out, clearing the Ukrainian positions there, therefore completing the capture of the village.

On the western flank of Pokrovsk, both Ukrainian and Russian forces advanced, taking up various positions.
Ukrainian forces recaptured the Kotlyne mines. This occurred a few days ago, and was done by moving down the railway line, and attacking into the industrial zone from the southeast. They also advanced down the treeline to the north.
Russian forces meanwhile restarted assault operations after a lull in activity, capturing a treeline northwest of Kotlyne.
As for the situation in Kotlyne itself, it is likely that Ukrainian forces were unable to consolidate any positions in the main part of the village, however due to a lack of reports, it will remain in the grey zone for now.

In the Bahatyr direction, Russian forces marginally advanced, capturing new treeline positions.
They advanced from the intersection of two treelines, and moved further west along the tactical heights, taking up new positions in a treeline and a parallel forest plantation.
This further secures a buffer zone north of Andriivka, preventing Ukrainian forces from maintaining fire control over the western part of the village.

In the Bahatyr direction, Russian forces made significant progress, capturing most of Ulaky and entering Kostyantynopil.
They advanced west from their positions in the eastern part of Ulaky, capturing new positions in the western and southern parts of the village. Ukrainian forces maintain positions in the northern streets, however.
Meanwhile, in Kostyantynopil, Russian forces pushed the northern ends of the two treelines out of the grey zone, and attacked into the village, quickly penetrating towards the highway which runs through the centre of it. Due to this advance, and the location of the Vovcha River, the remaining Ukrainian formations in northern Kostyantynopil are now in an operational encirclement.

Further west, Russian forces made more significant progress, advancing up a treeline, branching off onto two others, and captured positions in both of them.
