In the Komar direction, Russian forces advanced, taking up new treeline positions.
Russian forces advanced in two main areas. In the east, they advanced downhill from the local heights, capturing the rest of a treeline, as well as a forest plantation. Ukrainian forces were pushed over a gulley to the opposite heights.
Further west, Russian forces made more significant progress, advancing up a treeline, branching off onto two others, and captured positions in both of them.

Tensions are continuing to rise between Egypt and the US, with them now being at their worst in decades. This is largely due to Trump's widely condemned plan for Gaza.

Ugandan Armed Forces have entered the eastern Ituri Province of the DR Congo, and are advancing towards the key city of Bunia, after the deadline for the armed groups there to surrender, expired.
๐21๐2
Ugandan troops have advanced into the eastern Ituri Province of the DR Congo, and occupied the city of Bunia without firing a single shot.
Right now, it appears that the Congolese Armed Forces (FADRC) are cooperating with Uganda, although it is difficult to determine what may come of this major development in the war. Most likely, it is a move to attack the Anti-government militias.

M23 rebels are continuing their advance in the South Kivu Province of the DR Congo, and have fully occupied the international border with Rwanda, reaching the international border with Burundi.
First, they advanced southwest down the N2 highway, and occupied the town of Walungu, while facing little to no resistance. They then advanced down the N5 highway, and captured the city of Kamaniola, which is near the border with Burundi.
Burundi has long had tensions with Rwanda, and has withdrawn all their troops from the DR Congo, which were previously supporting the Congolese Armed Forces (FADRC).

Both Russian and Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the central part of Vovchansk, capturing various positions in the ruins of the city.
Ukrainian forces expanded their bridgehead on the northern bank of the Vovcha River, and advanced north along the highway and adjacent streets, recapturing School no. 2, reaching the police station as well as the court building.
Russian forces meanwhile advanced in the high-rise residential buildings, recapturing previously lost positions in three separate 5-story buildings.

A few days ago, Russian forces advanced in the Lyman direction, capturing new positions in the "black forest", east of Yampolivka.
Russian forces advanced in two main areas. In the south, they secured a 2.6km-long treeline, and gained a foothold in the southern part of the Black Forest, capturing Ukrainian trenches fortifications.
In the north, they advances from positions in Yampolivka, capturing the eastern outskirts of the village, and also gained a foothold in the Black Forest.
This puts the Ukrainian formations stationed in the forest at a significant risk of being encircled.

In the Siversk direction, Ukrainian forces counterattacked, recapturing positions in the ruins of Verkhnokamyanske.
After Russian forces advanced from the south and entered the eastern part of the village, Ukrainian forces were able to hold onto their positions and then push eastwards, recapturing part of the eastern ruins.
While Russian forces still maintain limited positions in the easternmost houses, their presence inside this key village has decreased.

Russian forces recently advanced in western Donetsk Oblast, and took up new positions in the treelines north of Andriivka.
After securing the edge of the tactical heights, Russian forces pushed reinforcements into the northern outskirts of Andriivka, before pushing north, advancing down three separate treelines, taking up new positions in them.
The goal here is to level out the frontline, eliminating the salient that formed between the villages of Zaporizhzhya and Andriivka, therefore allowing for a larger push westward, towards the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
+ ~3.36kmยฒ in favour of Russia.

Sporadic Israeli airstrikes continue across Syria, with one being carried out last night on former SAA equipment in the southern Dara'a province of the country (as seen in the video)
Meanwhile, the IDF is constructing new outposts in southern, Israeli-occupied Syria. These new sites are reportedly equipped with living quarters and command centers, possibly aiming to reinforce an indefinite Israeli presence in Syria.

By the way, Israel is continuing to strike Lebanon, but it goes underreported. For example, just a few minutes ago, a drone strike was carried out on the outskirts of ruins of the village of Aita Al Chaeb, which is just northeast of one of Israel's 5 remaining outposts in southern Lebanon.

On the northern front in eastern DR Congo, violent clashes continue between the Congolese Armed Forces (FADRC), and M23 rebels. FADRC forces appear to be putting up much fiercer resistance, compared to the southern front where they completely collapsed, resulting in a rapid M23 advance to the international border with Burundi.

There are currently ~8 Tu-95MS aircraft stationed at Olenya Air Base in Murmansk, presumably all equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.
Yesterday, 1 flew from Olenya to Engels-2 air base, to be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.
Currently there are two Tu-95MS airborne, which departed from Engels-2. It is currently unknown whether they are redeploying the Olenya with Kh-101 cruise missiles or are just conducting training.

All in all, the patterns indicate that a missile strike looks unlikely to take place today in my opinion, (maybe a 40% chance), but we will see.
