Last night, Russia carried out another Geran-2 drone attack on Odesa Oblast. At least 14 drones attacked targets in Odesa City and Chornomorsk, with at least 6 impacts recorded.
The Gerans flew in two waves. The first four attacked Odesa port, however two were shot down on approach to the coast. The second wave consisted of 10 drones, which attacked the city of Chornomorsk (just south of Odesa). At least 4 of these impacted the ELENG LLC warehouses at 46.295747, 30.629540. Large fires were seen burning at both impact sites.

Last night, ~4 Russian Geran-2 drones attacked a target in the area of Pohrebyshche, Vinnytsia Oblast. No official comment was given from regional authorities, and NASA FIRMS doesn't show any heat signatures in the area.
Ukrainian Batyar UAVs attacked Archeda Railway station in Frolovo, Volgograd Oblast. The extent of the damage is unknown, but the buildings that have been affected suggests it hit the station accurately.
Traffic has been suspended, and five trains have been delayed by up to 1.5 hours.

In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces continued their offensive on Kupyansk and have reached the city centre.
Russian forces advanced in two areas. In the east, they pushed south down the highway, clearing houses on Lenina Street, while significantly advancing in the area of Michurina Street.
In the west, Russian forces cleared the rest of the western industrial zone, and crossed the Kupyanka River into central Moskovka, establishing a bridgehead on its western bank in two different residential streets.
+ ~1.53km² in favour of Russia.

I'm honestly surprised at how little people are talking about Kupyansk. This city has been on the frontlines for nearly three years, and Russia is on the brink of capturing it.
Russian forces have rapidly reached the city centre from the north, and are now just 1.5km from the main bridge over the Oskil River connecting the Ukrainian bridgehead on its eastern bank - including in eastern Kupyansk - to the rest of Kharkiv Oblast.
Once this highway is cut, all supplies into the pocket will have to go via a bridge to the south in Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi, or over pontoon bridges (although this brings its own separate issues). This creates a bottle neck that can easily be targeted, which will naturally result in the collapse of the bridgehead, the alignment of the front along the river, and a refocusing of efforts to complete the capture of the city and the surrounding areas.
Supply is already difficult for the AFU in the bridgehead, and the only thing preventing the current Russian assault operations there from achieving breakthroughs is the natural obstacles and significant fortification that lie in Russia's way.
While the fall of Kupyansk may not be imminent, there is a real threat of this northern bridge being cut, which will undoubtably create massive problems for Ukrainian forces in the area.
