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.

Russian forces have dislodged Ukrainian forces from their positions on the flanks in the salient southwest of Toretsk. The remaining Ukrainian soldiers are beginning their attempts to evacuate under fire. The choke-point for salient is roughly 1.6km wide, while choke-point for the sub-salient in Hnativka is less than 750m wide.
There will probably be POWs as a result of this.

Palestinian sources report that these three rockets targeted IDF troop and equipment concentrations southeast of the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza (somewhere in the circled area).
At least one impact was confirmed, however no IDF casualties were reported.

All missiles were shot down, no impacts to Starokostyantyniv Airbase... don't worry about the F-16s!
One interesting thing about this claim though is the number of Geran-2 drones launched: 355.
This beats the previous record of 298 which was set literally yesterday.
Gerans were launched from 9 directions:
Khalino Airbase, Kursk Oblast.
Navlya Test Site, Bryansk Oblast.
Tsimbulova Test Site, Oryol Oblast.
Shatalovo Airbase, Smolensk Oblast.
Millerovo Airbase, Rostov Oblast.
Primorsko-Akhtarsk Airbase, Krasnodar Krai.
Cape Chauda, Crimea.
Hvardiiske Airbase, Crimea.
Berdyansk Airbase, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
