Ballistic missile launch from Yemen to central Israel

The launch was detected very late. Interceptor missiles have already gone up and sirens are sounding.

The ballistic missile was intercepted. The explosion heard in the Jerusalem area was from the launch of an interceptor missile.

Correction: The explosion was heard from the interception of the ballistic missile. The interceptor was actually launched from the area of Haifa in northern Israel.

A Ukrainian UAV impacted the "Patriot Park" complex in Moscow Oblast. The UAV impacted Pavilion C, although it is unknown what was stored there.

Last night, 1 Russian Tu-95MS strategic bomber redeployed from Olenya Airbase in Murmansk Oblast to Engels-2 Airbase in Saratov Oblast. This is so it can be equipped with Kh-101 Cruise missiles. The aircraft will make a return flight back to Olenya within the next 12-36 hours, which will therefore increase the total number of Tu-95s stationed at Olenya which are equipped with missiles to 5.

As of 24 hours ago, there are still 6 Tu-95s stationed at Belaya Airbase in Irkutsk Oblast, along with 7 Tu-160s. Its likely that all Tu-95s and at least some of the Tu-160s are equipped with Kh-101 Cruise missiles as there hasn't been any flights of An-26 or Il-76MD flights to Belaya in the past week. There also haven't been any of these flights to Engels-2 in over a week.

Update from Gaza - Northern Governorate:

The IDF continued to clear Northern Gaza and have entered the first parts of the northern suburbs of Gaza City. They captured the former command and control centre at the desalination plant on the coast and pushed into the adjacent district, taking up positions in the residential area.

Additionally, they advanced with multiple attack vectors to the northern and northeastern parts of the city of Beit Lahiya, before entering and clearing the outlying neighbourhoods. They also reached the northern edge of the western part of Beit Hanoun at Al-Awda road, nearly cutting off the city from the rest of the governorate.

Update from Gaza - Gaza Governorate:

The IDF renewed their advances in the Shujaiyya and Kuba neighbourhoods of southeastern Gaza City, pushing northwest on a wide front, and expanding their buffer zone from the border.

Armoured units cleared numerous blocks in the centre of the incursion zone, reaching where the central cemetery used to be (prior to its bulldozing) and clearing the adjacent blocks. To the southwest, they cleared further parts of the denser area in the vicinity of Al-Muntar and Al-Mansora streets.

The zone of control was corrected in the Kuba district, with the IDF controlling part of the former residential area west of Al-Mansora street, although this area is completely destroyed now.

No progress was recorded in the Al-Tuffah district to the northwest; however, demolitions continued in the already occupied areas.

Update from Gaza - Khan Younis Governorate.

The IDF continued their widespread advances and clearing operations northeast of the city of Khan Younis and have occupied further parts of the towns of Al-Qarara and Jarara.

The IDF advanced with several vectors on a wide front from the Gaza Border to the Salah al-Deen Highway, and have cleared the rest of central Jarara, moving on to the southern neighbourhoods, which have nearly been fully captured.

To the west, the IDF reached the Salah al-Deen highway at a second point, occupying further areas of central Al-Qarara, before entering and clearing parts of the southern and southeastern neighbourhoods of the town.
