On the northeastern flank of Pokrovsk, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough in multiple directions, blooming outwards from the area of the Kazenyi Torets River.

Russian forces initially began further expanding their bridgehead on the western bank of the river by spearheading an attack west down the treelines towards the south of Nykanorivka, capturing numerous positions there and in the forests to the southeast. Supporting attacks were made from the area of Mayak to secure the forested areas next to the reservoirs.

Russian forces were also able to consolidate their positions in southern Mayak, using them to expand further north and seize the rest of the village. Assault operations are now ongoing on the neighbouring village of Pankivka, which is currently in the grey zone. Outflanking attacks have already taken place west of Pankivka, with Russian forces achieveing a localised breakthrough towards the village of Nove Shakhove, where they captured numerous positions in the treelines and forest plantation on the tactical heights, while forward units cut the Nove Shakhove - Shakhove road and are now operating northeast of Nove Shakhove. Due to the fog of war, it is unclear if any positions were captured along the road itself, however.

Meanwhile, east of the Kazenyi Torets River, Russian forces completed the capture of the village of Novotoretske by advancing northwest from their positions behind the tributary of the Kazenyi Torets River. Then, taking advantage of Ukraine's critical manpower situation, the Russians broke through Ukrainian positions northwards, advancing along the road to Volodymyrivka, before reaching and capturing the main part of the village just south of Shakhove. Other forces made further progress to the southeast in the treelines on the tactical heights, and the adjacent forest plantations in the low-lying ground.

To the east of these breakthroughs, Russian forces improved their positions west of the village of Popiv Yar, and captured parts of the treelines outside the chalk quarry.

To the southwest of these breakthroughs - in the direction of Rodynske - Russian forces completed the capture of the village of Fedorivka, reaching the eastern outskirts of Zatyshok and seized additional positions in the nearby forest and treelines. Soldiers which had already consolidated in the treelines east of the Krasnolymanskaya Mine, advanced north to one of the ventilation shafts for the mine, capturing it and therefore linking up with the forces from Fedorivka.

+ ~31.54km² in favour of Russia.

One of the biggest breakthroughs since Ukraine in Kherson Oblast in 2022.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued to advance and have made new progress in multiple areas.

Russian forces advanced in three areas. In the east, taking advantage of a large decrease in the size of the Ukrainian garrison holding Yablunivka, they intensified their attacks eastwards, breaking through Ukrainian positions and reaching the easternmost part of the village. As a result, the rest of the pocket south of the Bychok River was cleared from attacks from the south and west, a bridgehead was established north of the river in the northeastern part of Yablunivka, and the Russians completed its capture.

They then crossed the Kalynivka River, establishing a bridgehead in the central part of Oleksandro-Kalynove, cutting the village in half. Other forces from the south secured the western side of the village, linking up with the bridgehead, and improved their positions along a nearby treeline southeast of the settlement. The southeastern houses are currently in the grey zone, with Russian forces yet to clear them out.

To the northwest, Russian forces resumed their assault operations northwest of Yablunivka and captured a small forest. They also crossed a gulley, and established control over positions near the intersection of four treelines opposite their initial positions.

In the west, Russian forces advanced down both banks of the Poltavka River. They completed the capture of Popiv Yar, before moving north to the neighbouring village of Poltavka. The Russians were able to seize the western half of the village, establishing positions at the reservoir separating it from the eastern half, while also capturing further positions in the treelines and forest plantations south, southeast and southwest of Poltavka. Other forces advanced up the eastern bank of the Poltavka River, pushing north up a forested area to the southeastern outskirts of the village, and improved their positions in the forest plantation in the low-lying ground to the east.

+ ~12.93km² in favour of Russia.

Zelensky currently

Kyiv Independent: "Zelensky just betrayed Ukraine's democracy — and everyone fighting for it"

WOW it's almost as if people like me have been pointing out Zelensky isn't a good leader, but then automatically got accused of being Kremlin propagandists.

The blind and baseless talking points people rely on to maintain their narrative will continue crumble one by one.

But hey, as long as someone like Andrew Perptually Wrong admits that Zelensky is a terrible leader and individual it's all good... right?

Violent clashes have broken out between Cambodian and Thai troops on a disputed section of their border in the Ta Muen Thom area, involving light weapons, artillery shelling and Grad MLRS strikes.

Thai PBS news reported that Cambodian soldiers encroached near the border area, resulting in the Thai 2nd Army responding with artillery fire. On the other hand, Cambodian Armed Forces spokeswoman Mali Socheata stated that Cambodian forces repelled a Thai incursion over the border.

Thailand's education authority has shut down all educational facilities in the border area and activated emergency plans across the region. Meanwhile, evacuations of civilians are underway in nearby areas on the Cambodian side of the border.

Cambodian rockets continue to be fired over the border towards Thai positions.

Clashes are continuing on this one border section, with no signs of stopping yet.
