Siversk general direction. Russian forces consolidate their positions and logistic routes near Soledar and behind the current front, Ukrainian drones aren't very active in their rear. The red square represents frequent Russian shelling over the past days of…
The Russians also entered Zvanivka yesterday, which could be related to the heavy shelling in that area.

In the Siversk direction, Russian forces resumed assault operations towards Siversk from the east, capturing new positions in the area of the reservoir.
Russian forces advanced west from the village of Verkhnokamyanske to the next treeline over, recapturing previously lost positions there, and along the road to Siversk. They were also able to secure the entirety of the southern bank of the reservoir, capturing the trenches in the forests there. Additionally, Russian forces recaptured the trenches northwest of the reservoir, advancing slightly closer to eastern Siversk.
+ ~2.54 km² in favour of Russia.

Threat of Oreshnik IRBMs from Kapustin Yar, Astrakhan Oblast. This is most likely related to Russia's nuclear exercises, but sirens are now sounding in all regions of Ukraine.

The Oreshnik threat is confirmed to be from Russian tests. Sirens should be lifted in around 5-6 minutes.

Russia carried out additional long-range training over the northeast Pacific with their strategic bombers last night.
One Tu-95MS, escorted by two Su-35 fighters came close to the airspace of Sado Island, central Japan, forcing Japan to scramble fighters in response. The Russian MOD confirmed the incident, stating that they were escorted by fighters from a "foreign country" at one point.
Scheduled long-range training has delayed any future Russian large-scale, combined missile attacks on Ukraine involving strategic bombers, resulting in recent attacks all being carried out with missiles other than Kh-101s.

During his visit to London, Zelensky presented an "Octopus" interceptor drone to British Prime Minister Starmer.
Discussions are ongoing between the UK and Ukraine to produce Octopus drones from within the UK, to then subsequently supply to Ukraine. The Octopus drone was initially developed domestically by Ukraine, but production will always be difficult due to Russian long-range strike capabilities and other internal factors. The UK plans to produce "several thousand" drones per month for supply to Ukraine.
Due to ramped up production of Russian Geran-2 drones, and changes in their tactics, it has become increasingly difficult for Ukraine to intercept them with ordinary anti-air fire. The drones are now able to fly at very high altitudes, outside the range of most AA, before divebombing into their target, leaving only a very limited window of opportunity for interception. These new interceptor drones are known to have been effective in countering these Russian capabilities in the past, but current rates of production mean that their effect remains limited for the time being.

A new drone view showing the destruction of Vovchansk City Centre, for which fighting has been ongoing for around 17 months.
Extensive usage of Russian glide-bombs and constant back and forth fighting has left this part of the city practically flattened, with even the reinforced steel buildings no longer existing. Currently, Russia has begun a new series of assault operations on the less-destroyed western suburbs of Vovchansk, which has seen significant successes in recent weeks.
