Update from Kursk:

Russian forces continue to clear out the remants of the salient and have established control over most of the key city of Sudzha.

After the main assault detachments linked up with the pipeline soldiers, more reinforcements were sent in down the R200 road, allowing for Russian forces to clear the Sudzha industrial zone and the nearby residential area. They they spearheaded an advance over the bridge and entrenched in the city centre, where battles occurred with Ukrainian cover forces, who were covering for the main formations to retreat from Kursk Oblast.

Russian forces pushed up Lenina Street to the city square, capturing the administrative building and the surrounding areas, raising flags there.

Meanwhile in the north, Russian forces continued to push with little resistance, and captured the village of Bogdanovka, before moving south to Kazachya Loknya, then to Knyazhiy 1st, Knyazhiy 2nd, and Knyazhii, before entering the northern suburbs of Sudzha.

In the southeast, Russian forces captured the village of Mirnyi and Bondarevka after an attack from the east and also captured the village of Kolmakov after an attack from the southeast.

In the south, Russian forces conducted assault operations from Cherkasskaya Konopelka, and captured Makhnovka and Zamoste, before moving east to Dmitriukov, capturing it, while also linking up with the assault detachments in Mirnyi.

The rest of Sudzha not under Russian control has shifted to the grey zone, with only a Ukrainian covering force remaining in the city.

+ ~63.50km² in favour of Russia.

The commander of Ukraine's Kursk operation, and the entire northern command has been dismissed by Syrskyi.

The prosecutor's office of Bosnia and Herzegovina has issued an arrest warrant for The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik. Dodik is expected to hold a press conference in the coming hours, and Serbian President Vucic has said that the arrest of Dodik is the path to civil war.

4-5 Iskander ballistic missiles hit the border areas of Sumy Oblast a short while ago.

This coincides with the withdrawal of Ukraine's main fighting units from Kursk.

Unconfirmed reports of an incident in the red sea. Will follow up with more information if I get any. Remember, the Houthis said that they planned to resume operations against Israel and shipping lanes in the Red Sea if they didn't unblock all aid flowing into Gaza.

In the southern Ukrainian Oskil bridgehead, Russian forces continue to advance and have made significant progress in a southerly direction.

Russian forces advanced down the railway line, capturing new positions in the forests right next to the Oskil River, and also in northern part of the village of Bohuslavka, where they reached the northern bank of the Lozova River.

Additionally, Russian forces continued to push in the village of Zahryzove, and seized the rest of the village, taking up positions throughout it.

+ ~8.02km² in favour of Russia.

In Toretsk, Ukrainian forces continued their counterattacks in the southern Zabalka district of the city, and are making slow progress.

They were able to advance east down Berzenya 8th street, Tobolenka street, and Skachkova street, taking up new positions near the local church. Additionally, I have shifted most of the rest of the eastern half of the Zabalka district into the grey zone, except for a couple of blocks of 3-story-buildings.

+ ~0.09km² in favour of Ukraine.

On the eastern flank of Pokrovsk, Ukrainian forces continued their counterattacks, but this time in a different direction.

They were able to advance from the village of Malynivka, capturing a forest plantation, before assaulting the ruins of the overpass, where they seized the Russian positions there. Russian forces were forced to withdraw to the agricultural buildings to the south.

+ ~2.12km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Komar direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations and have captured the village of Dniproenerhiya.

They advanced from positions northeast of Novoocheretuvate, capturing trench positions in the fields there. They then advanced west, along the northern bank of the Mokri Yaly River, reaching Dniroenerhiya, capturing it without facing much resistance.

+ ~5.11km² in favour of Russia.

Who remembers when the map looked like this...

I think this section of road (specifically the bend) was where the heaviest fighting of the entire war in Ukraine took place.

While I will probably forget many of the battles that I tracked, one of them I will never forget will be the battle of the tiny, one-street village of Khromove, which held up Bakhmut's defence until the very end.

4 Ukrainian aircraft, including at least 1 F-16 are airborne over Sumy

A Ukrainian UAV struck the Petrovskoye linear production department of main gas pipelines in Saratov Oblast.

MiG-31K airborne. Possible launch of a Kinzhal missile in the next few minutes.

It gained altitude and speed very quickly, which is indicative of an incoming launch maneuver
