IDF: Following the sirens that sounded at 5:35 in the upper Galilee, approximately 30 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon. The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted several projectiles and the rest fell in open areas. No injuries were reported.

Following the sirens that sounded at 00:57 and between 2:34 to 2:39 in the area of Kiryat Shmona, approximately 20 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon. The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted most of the projectiles. Fallen projectiles were identified in the area. No injuries were reported.

Overnight (Saturday), the IAF struck Hezbollah military structures in the areas of Aitaroun, Maroun El Ras, and Yaroun in southern Lebanon.

Furthermore, yesterday, the IDF struck and eliminated terrorists from the Amal terrorist organization that operated within a Hezbollah military structure in the area of Froun in southern Lebanon.

Explosions in the suburbs of Zaporizhzhia. Not quite sure what caused it.

Is anyone having issues with audio volume?

Explosions in Kharkiv. KAB strikes.

Several KABs struck the city. There is reportedly a fire at one of the arrival sites.

A much smaller Russian Geran attack was conducted today, with only 5-6 drones being launched, all from Kursk. However, multiple missiles have been launched too, hitting targets in Poltava and possibly in Dnipro.

1 Geran drone attempted to hit Bila Tserkva, but was likely shot down, while 3 others turned to Cherkasy Oblast. Only 1 Geran is still airborne at the time of writing.

A Russian KAB was reportedly launched in the direction of Sumy.

A few hours ago, the Israeli air-force conducted a series of airstrikes on Syria. Missiles were launched from Lebanese airspace and from the Mediterranean sea. A local Syrian source reported that three waves of missiles were launched from Israeli fighter jets, and that several missiles hit the Scientific Research Center in Masyaf. The Hama health director stated that 4 people were killed and 15 wounded as a result of the strike.

Airstrikes were also carried out on the Syrian capital of Damascus.

However, Syrian air defence did manage to shoot down some of the missiles before reaching the coastline as well as reportedly intercepting missiles in the Tartous and Homs countryside.

More to come.

An Israeli drone was shot down just before It hit the Scientific Research Center in Masyaf. Several drones were reportedly launched at Syria following the airstrikes. One local source claimed that some of the drones targeted ambulances at the scene, although this is currently unconfirmed.

Reliable reports from both Russian and Ukrainian sources suggest that Russian forces have managed to advance quickly over the past 24 hours and have captured the key village of Vodyane.

This may have been done by attacking from the north and the south in a pincer movement, getting behind the Ukrainian positions in the southern Dachas, and in the industrial area. Simultaneous attacks were also probably carried out on the main residential are to the north by using the treeline that leads up and behind it as a path into the houses.

Vodyane is strategically important, as it lies on the tactical heights. Whoever controls Vodyane will have fire control over the section of O0532 road which lies in the gulley. Vodyane might also be used as a staging ground and forward troop concentration point for further assault operations on the Terykon to the south which, when captured, would give the Russians fire control over the northeastern approaches to Vuhledar.

Reports came in a couple of hours ago that Russian forces have established a foothold in the northern part of the town of Hirnyk. Although the street which this occurred on was unspecified, in my opinion it was likely Radyanska street, as yesterday, Pro-Ukrainian source "Deepstate" updated their map to show this street, and only this street, in the grey zone.

This comes as Russian forces began storming attempts on Hirnyk, with the goal of entering the town from the north following the localised breakthrough behind Ukrainsk. Local sources reported that the first Russian assault operations on Hirnyk were repelled, but it is possible that the second ones were successful.

We should get a report from Sofa General Staff soon, so I will update you when that happens.

Russian forces are now reportedly attacking in the direction of the Pivdennodonbaska 3 coal mine, likely along this small treeline which provides cover for small groups of Russian infantry from Ukrainian artillery and FPV drones.

Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces advanced south of Mykolaivka and captured new Ukrainian treeline positions.

They likely advanced south from positions on the southern outskirts of Mykolaivka. This may be an attempt to expand their flank to prepare for renewed attacks on Selydove.

It is also possible that they are trying to cut the last paved supply route to Ukrainsk which goes through Selydove. This, plus the recent advance to the south of Ukrainsk would significantly complicate the situation for the Ukrainian garrison there.

A reliable source reported that Russian forces have begun assault operations across the Kashlahach river near Vuhledar. They are likely using pontoon bridges to cross the river and are reportedly conducting active assault operations on the agricultural buildings on the northern outskirts of Pavlivka.

In and around these agricultural buildings are a series of Ukrainian-held trenches and dugouts which the Russians will need to clear before attacking the approaches to Vuhledar itself.

This news comes as Russian forces have likely captured the key village of Vodyane to the northeast of Vuhledar, and are assaulting the Terykon (industrial waste heap) which acts as the commanding height over the town.

However, these reports appear to put the rumours that the Russians had seized control over southern Vuhledar, including the city central hospital, at rest.

The moment that a Hezbollah drone struck a residential building in the city of Nahariya, Northwestern Israel.

A Russian motorised rifle unit was spotted on the northern bank of the Kashlahach river. Ukrainian artillery is actively shelling them.

Ukraine launched another large-scale drone attack on Russia today. Dozens of drones were launched at targets in Liptetsk, Kaluga, Voronezh, Bryansk, Oryol and even Moscow. Russian air defence reportedly shot down 26 drones in Bryansk Oblast alone.

The attack is still ongoing, so I will keep you updated if anything happens.

It seems like the first wave of drones primarily targeted Bryansk Oblast, while the next wave, which appears to be considerably smaller, primarily targets Lipetsk Oblast.

Explosions in Sumy and Poltava Oblasts. Geran attacks.

Meanwhile, Russia has launched another Geran drone attack on Ukraine. Geran drones were launched from Cape Chauda in Crimea, and from Kursk.

~7 drones are flying over southern Ukraine in Kherson and Mykolaiv Oblast, with one heading for Odesa.

~10 drones are flying over northern Ukraine in Sumy, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Chernihiv and Kyiv Oblasts, with the one in Kyiv heading for Cherkasy Oblast.

If the one flying to Cherkasy does what the others following this pattern do - that being circling around the border between Cherkasy and Kyiv Oblasts - then the air raid alerts will likely last until the morning in Ukraine.
