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.

Regarding the situation in Niu-York:

Over the past 24-48 hours, Russian forces have likely made significant progress inside Niu-York, capturing most if not all of the town

Reliable reports indicate that Russian forces advanced from their western bridgehead on the northern bank of a tributary of the Kryvyi Torets river, breaking through Ukrainian positions and reaching the main part of the Kryvyi Torets river from the west. They then likely crossed the river and entered the first houses of the village of Nelipivka.

They also likely simultaneously advanced from their positions in the centre of the town, up the railway line to the northernmost residential area. This essentially puts two groupings of Ukrainian forces in an operational encirclement.

The largest of these groupings is stationed in the large industrial area, which has been subjected to bombardments from FAB glide bombs. There may also be a smaller Ukrainian grouping in the remaining residential street near the industrial zone, although some reports are already suggesting that this pocket was cleared.

There are some reports that Russian forces have completely captured Niu-York, although from what I've seen, combing operations are still ongoing.

Overall, it appears that one of Ukraine's most fortified strongholds in the entire country is about to or already has fallen to the Russian army. This will pave the way for future assaults on Nelipivka and eventually Toretsk itself.

Red = Confirmed Russian control
Purple = Likely Russian control

Following the blowing of the two bridges over the Seym river at the settlements of Glushkovo and Zvannoe, it is highly likely in my opinion that Ukrainian forces will advance across the international border and attempt to capture all of the territory south of the river.

Ukrainian forces have likely captured or are contesting the settlement of Krasnooktyabr'skoe, which lies on the eastern bank of the Seym river at the end of the spearhead shown on the map. Additionally, Russian milblogger "Romanov" claimed that Ukrainian forces destroyed the third and final bridge over the river (Bridges are circled in red on the map).

If both of these reports are true, then it would essentially cut off the Russian groupings in the southern portion of Glushkovsky district and would make future Ukrainian offensive operations here much easier to conduct.

However, the fact that Ukrainian forces already control the dominant heights south of the international border means that it would have been a downhill advance anyway, and the blowing of the bridges will be the final nail in the coffin for southern Glushkovsky district for the time being.

The good news for Russia is that the northern bank of the Seym river is much, much more elevated than the southern bank, meaning that it would be very difficult for the AFU to accumulate in the settlements along the southern bank due to the Russians having fire control and surveillance over them.

Evacuations of all civilians in the Glushkovsky district are already underway, with the Russian command likely having already anticipated the blowing of the bridges following the AFU reaching the Seym river.

Over the past 36 hours, Ukrainian forces have likely withdrawn across the Vovcha river to their fortifications on the western bank. The next day, Russian forces reportedly advanced and took control over the abandoned positions in the fields and treelines

This is likely in anticipation of further Russian advances behind the Vovcha river in the direction of Kalynove. It does also put Ukrainian formations in the fortifications near Komyshivka at a significant risk of encirclement against the Vovcha river.

This was the next step in the Russian plan of collapsing the frontline from Karlivka to Mykolaivka in the direction of Selidove. I expect evacuation orders for civilians will begin in Selidove in the near future.

Reliable reports indicate that Russian forces advanced from Zaliznyanske to positions within 1.6km of the village of Bodarne, capturing a small, forested area.

If true, this would put Ukrainian formations to the east in a salient.

However, it is currently unknown whether this is the beginning of a larger push north, or if this is just an opportunity that was seized by the Russians. I'm more inclined to believe the latter as I haven't heard of any major troop concentrations here or any redeployments of units.

Reliable reports indicate that Russian forces have advanced across the O0532 road and captured Ukrainian positions near the village of Vodyane, coming within ~670m of the southern dachas.

This significantly affects the defence of Vuhledar as the O0532 road was the last paved road supplying the town. There are two other main dirt roads which run through the fields north of Vuhledar, however when it enters the rainy season, resuppliment will become essentially impossible and positions in Vuhledar will become untenable.

There are reports of Ukrainian MLRS being active in Sumy Oblast. Launches are possible in the near future.

Russian soldiers of the Storm shock and assault unit of the 1st Slavic Brigade reportedly raised their flag over the waste heap near Toretsk.
