Last night, Dozens of Geran-2 drones attacked Kyiv Oblast. They spread out as the Kh-101 cruise missiles flew over the Bila Tserkva district to the Starokostyantyniv Airbase in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, saturating the air defence in Kyiv Oblast.
The remaining drones then went on to make at least 9 successful impacts in Bila Terskva, Brovary, Bucha, Vyshhorod, Obukhiv, and Kyiv City itself.

Ukrainian FPV drones from GUR special forces targeted a Russian fuel train in Novobohdanivka, Melitopol District, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
These UAVs couldn't have been from USVs from the Black Sea as that's over 190km away, so it seems like this is just an incredibly long-range FPV drone strike (upwards of 55km of flight in total).

One of the Iskander-M ballistic missile strikes on Chernihiv City yesterday.
An Israeli airstrike on the Fahmi Al-Jarjawi School in the Al-Daraj neighbourhood of Gaza City killed at least 25 Palestinians. Children are among the dead, many of whom were burned alive in the school. The school was sheltering displaced families. The IDF has not yet commented on the matter.
No videos or photos of civilians trapped in the fire or dead will be posted for obvious reasons. I advise you not to look for them yourselves, they aren't good.

The Saraya al-Quds Brigades (armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad) released footage of their fighters detonating an unexploded US-supplied GBU-39 Glide-bomb, which was dropped on Gaza City, against an Israeli vehicle from the 932nd "Shaham" Infantry Battalion of the 933rd "Nahal" Infantry Brigade.
The militants converted the bomb into an IED, planted it in the eastern part of the Shujaiyya neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City along with a "Thaqib" IED, and either remotely detonated it against the Israeli soldiers or used a pressure-plate.
As a result of the attack at least one Israeli soldier was seriously injured. All of the soldiers in the vehicle were draftees.

Ok what is this new FSB thing people keep saying about me? Are there genuinely people out there who believed that nafo who made the initial claim about me? Because he literally posted a screenshot of me posting about an Iskander launch... that's not proof.
It's really worrying to see what people are inclined to believe these days...

A large fire broke out at an industrial facility in Bezliudivka, just south of Kharkiv City, as a result of three Russian Geran-2 drone attacks. 2 drones flew in initially and hit the facility, before a third flew in 5 minutes later and impacted. NASA FIRMS data picked up the fire shortly afterwards.
At least 10 Geran impacts were recorded across Kharkiv Oblast (most in and around Kharkiv City) during the 4-hour-long attack on the region.

The IDF spokesperson reported that three rockets were launched from southern Gaza (likely Khan Younis) towards the border with Israel a short while ago. He said that two of the rockets fell in the Gaza Strip, while a third was intercepted by the Israeli Airforce before it crossed the border. No sirens sounded in the surrounding settlements.
The 2 rockets which fell short of the border either malfunctioned mid-flight, or targeted Israeli troops on the ground.

3 years ago today, the battle of Severodonetsk, Luhansk Oblast ended with a Russian victory after Ukrainian units held up in the Azot Chemical Plant were given the order to withdraw.
This was the first major Russian victory in the Donbas which both sides fought heavily for and led to the subsequent fall of the neighbouring city of Lysychansk just over a month later. From there, the battles for the small village of Bilohorivka and the Serebryanskyi forest would begin, with the former only ending after nearly 3 years, and the latter still ongoing.
Fun fact: I started mapping the war in Ukraine after the end of the battle of Lysychansk in early July.
