It has been confirmed. 6 Tu-95's launched missiles. This could be a larger one than usual.

It appears that the Shahed drones are waiting for the missiles to enter Ukrainian airspace, likely in order to overload Ukraine's limited air defence

Air raid alerts in most regions of Ukraine.

It is possible that the launches were simulated that no missiles were actually launched.

Never mind, missiles were launched over the Caspian sea.

It looks like today's missile strikes may target Kyiv.

Air defense is working hard over Kiev, 10 Geran-2 drones targeting the city.

Shaheds are still heading for Kyiv.

We might also see strikes on Starokostyantyniv or Stryi considering that there are Shaheds heading in the direction of both the cities.

Still no missiles in Ukrainian airspace it is possible that the Russians simulated the launches in the Caspian too.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continue to develop their envelopment of Rozdolivka, this time advanced from the south and reaching the southern and western outskirts of the settlement.

Here, following an unsuccessful assault by a Russian AFV, Russian infantry advanced and established positions in dugouts along the windbreaks on either side of the Bakhmut-Siversk railway line. The lack of treelines makes it difficult for Russian forces to advance as they are vulnerable to Ukrainian drones and artillery, which is why they are choosing to advance along the treelines east of and the railway line southwest of Rozdolivka.

The issue with the assaults along the railway line is that once they get behind Rozdolivka, Ukrainian forces will be able to counterattack from Rozdolivka itself and cut the Russians off against the Bakhmutka river. This is why I believe that the Russians will instead attack Rozdolivka head on from the railway line and try to scatter infantry in the southwestern houses.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces marginally advanced in southern Klishchiivka.

Following a small mechanised assault which resulted in the capture of the main section of Klishchiivka, Russian forces likely took time to regroup, before sending infantry over the small river to the next part of the village. This is a very risky move for the infantry as it means they have to cross nearly 300 metres of relatively open ground where they would have been susceptible to Ukrainian FPV drones and artillery.

However, it appears that at least one of these assaults was successful (It is unknown how many tries it took) as Russian infantry managed to gain a foothold in at least the first five houses on the separated section of Klishchiivka.

These positions will be very difficult to hold as Ukrainian forces retain full control over the forests and the tactical heights to the west, meaning that they have full fire control over the southern part of the village.

Geolocated footage indicates that Ukrainian forces advanced in Starytsya, and recaptured part of the central part of the village.

Ukrainian infantry advanced on foot and cleared the houses on Spartaka street and captured the main intersection of roads.

Ukrainian forces controlling the tactical heights in the forest to the south is likely a contributing factor to this advance as they can maintain fire control and surveillance over the village.

The maximum advance of Ukrainian forces was ~450m.

Shaheds mainly targeting southern Ukraine today with a couple in Kyiv and one near Kramatorsk.

Regarding the situation in Vovchansk (Part 1):

Geolocated footage indicates that Ukrainian forces continue to slowly advance in and around Vovchansk. There are two advances here so let's break it down:

Firstly, Ukrainian infantry advanced from the high-rise fortress known as "The Citidel" and cleared houses around the intersection of Soborna and Korolenka Streets. It appears that this may be the beginning of an operation to make a buffer zone around the Citidel and use that to expand control outwards to the rest of Northern Vovchansk.

It is also possible that this advance has the goal of cutting off Russian forces in the central part of Vovchansk. Previously there was a sort of "Ying yang" battle in Vovchansk, where both sides were launching attacks with the goal of reaching the river and cutting each other off.

(Part 2) The Russian's won this Ying yang battle and reached the northern bank of the Vovcha river from the Aggregate plant, cutting off the Ukrainian groupings in the residential area encased in the bend in the Vovcha river. There is only one bridge there leading to the southern part of the town, and that is the destroyed pedestrian bridge on Pryvokzalna Street. In fact, it is already reported that Russian forces captured this part of the town, however this has not been confirmed.

The maximum advance of Ukrainian forces for this first advance was ~100m.

And secondly, Ukrainian infantry advanced along the northern bank of the Vovcha river, capturing a Russian-occupied stronghold on the eastern outskirts of Northern Vovchansk. This, plus reports by Russian sources that Ukrainian forces liberated the village of Tykhe. further east indicate that Ukrainian forces are attempting to break the operational encirclement of Northern Vovchansk by creating a land bridge from Vovchansk to Tykhe.

The maximum advance of Ukrainian forces here was ~460m.
