Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continued to advance in Hrodivka, and have expanded their control from the ruins of the former factory to the eastern residential area. Heavy fighting is ongoing in the direction of the town centre.

It is possible that Russian forces will attack the town in the future from the northeast near the reservoirs, or from positions in Zhuravka.

Geolocated footage indicates that over the past 3-4 days, Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian positions near Plekhovo and advanced by ~15km in a westerly direction.

This comes as a raid by BTRs failed to capture the settlement of Gir'i. Ukrainian forces then appear to have launched another attempt at reaching the settlement, this time in a more attritional manner, grinding through the settlements of Borki, Spal'noe, Krupets and Kamyshnoe, capturing them along the way.

Reports by Russian sources also corroborate this footage, and confirm the advance actually took place and was not just a limited raid. Russian forces have responded by shelling the new Ukrainian positions, and fighting is reportedly underway for Gir'i.

Geolocated footage from two days ago indicates that Ukrainian forces broke through Russian positions in the Kursk border village of Gordeevka, and advanced for more than 7km northwards, capturing the settlements of Vnezapnoe and Viktorovka, raising their flag over the latter.

Reliable reports also indicate that Ukrainian forces captured the village of Upsenovka and advanced to positions further north, although this remains unconfirmed.

The Russian MOD claimed that all attacks were repelled in the Gordeevka area, however this is apparently untrue as the AFU has been geolocated 7km north of the border.

Keep in mind that Ukrainian forces likely suffered heavy losses during previous attempts to break through near Gordeevka, and the attacks only succeeded following a lot of pressure being exerted on the Russian border guards.

Smoke is rising over the industrial zone in Kramatorsk following Tornado-S MLRS being launched at the city. Strong explosions were reported.

⚡️Red alert in Safad

Following the reports of intense artillery duels near the Kursk border village of Tetkino, Russian sources reported that Russian forces withdrew across the Seym river and took up defensive positions near Tetkino, and that Ukrainian forces advanced into the area west of the river.

Pro-Ukrainian source Deepstate was more conservative in their maps, with them showing that the Russians had only been slightly pushed back, but that most of the area was in a contested grey zone, or an "unknown status" as they call it.

It's important to note that Tetkino was where All Russian Pro Ukrainian forces such as the RDK and LSR crossed over the international border early this year and attempted to seize control over Tetkino, but failed.

It's possible that we may see an offensive launched from the west, directly into Tetkino with fire support being provided from the other side of Seym river.

(Green on the map is likely Ukrainian advances)

A ballistic missile was launched at Kyiv city. An explosion was reported.

Another missile in the direction of Kyiv.

Disappeared in Chernihiv Oblast. It might have been shot down.

No missiles left in the airspace of Ukraine.

Another missile in the direction of Kyiv.

Powerful explosions were reported.

Ukrainian monitor channels are very behind as you can probably tell.

Apparently the missiles were launched from Kursk/Voronezh at Brovary.

KN-23 North Korean missiles were used again.

It's possible that there will be one more launch. The OTRK is still active.

Explosions in Nizhyn (Chernihiv Oblast) and Konotop (Sumy Oblast) That might be the last of the Shahed drones for the day.

Nevermind, there are still 2-4 flying to Kyiv.

There are reports that over the past 24 hours, Russian forces captured the villages of Zhuravka and Krutyi Yar, and seized the Terykon (Industrial waste heap) near the northern outskirts of Novohrodivka.

If true, this would allow the Russians to gain fire control over Ukrainian positions by the railway line and in the northern part of Novohrodivka. Russian forces would also likely start assaulting Krasnyi Yar and Mykolaivka in the near future to protect their northern flank.

Geolocated footage and reliable reports indicate that Russian forces continue to exploit their localised breakthrough near Zhelanne, and have advanced further south to the source of the Vovcha river.

Footage shows that Russian forces advanced by ~900m in a southerly direction, capturing Ukrainian trench fortifications.

Reliable reports indicate that Russian forces captured the rest of Mykolaivka and have additionally advanced and captured all of Novozhelanne north of the Vovcha river, along with the nearby tree lines, however, these reports have not been confirmed.

Overall, it appears that Russian forces continue to advance in an attritional manner behind the Ukrainian fortifications on the western bank of the Vovcha river while simultaneously advancing to the E50 highway which resupplies Karlivka and Kalynove.
