Russian KAB bombs have been targeting Zaporizhzhia over and over again today. 13 bombs were dropped on the city last night, and another launch has just been reported, with explosions being heard.

🇱🇧Hezbollah has elected a new leader to replace Nasrallah, who was killed by Israel , Al Arabiya TV reported, citing sources.

Hashem Safieddine, who previously held the post of head of the executive committee, was elected as the new secretary general of the Lebanese group.

This information has not been officially confirmed.

Safieddin is the cousin of the murdered Hassan Nasrallah. His son Reza is married to the daughter of the Iranian general Soleimani, who was killed by the Americans.

The IDF has launched another series of incursions into the Palestinian controlled parts of the West Bank.

In Nablus, fierce clashes are ongoing. The Al-Quds brigade stated that their Nablus battalion are engaged in small arms battles with the IDF and have achieved direct hits, wounding an unknown number of IDF soldiers. Most of the fighting has occurred in the old and new Askar camps. The Nablus battalion detonated an explosive device on Israeli soldiers, before the IDF withdrew from the old part of the camp. Mass arrests reportedly took place during the raids.

Meanwhile in the city of Tulkarm, IDF soldiers began storming the city a couple of hours ago. They primarily targeted buildings in the vicinity of the Al-Zakat hospital, before withdrawing from the city two hours later.

This comes as a significant increase of Israeli activity has been observed in three West Bank following the beginning of what appears to be the second (albeit less violent) stage of operation summer camps.

Israel is moving heavy equipment, including tanks to the border with Lebanon as tensions rise in the region.

Reliable reports from both Russian and Ukrainian sources suggest that Russian forces have advanced in Vuhledar, seizing a number of high-rise residential buildings.

After they entered the eastern part of the town, the Russians continued their advance westwards, expanding their area of control to include the hotel, the registration service building and 5 high-rise residential buildings.

Confirmed

An Iskander ballistic missile was launched in the direction of Kryvyi Rih.

Explosions in Velyka Oleksandrivka, Kherson Oblast.

Reliable reports suggest that Russian forces have advanced in and around the town of Tsukuryne.

Following the capture of a section of the railway line, as expected Russian forces panned out to the north and south, using the windbreaks on either side of the tracks as cover from Ukrainian FPV drones and artillery. From there, they likely advanced into the northern residential area of Tsukuryne, capturing a number of houses on Stepova and Khmelnytskoho streets.

At the same time, the Russians advanced from their treeline positions to the east, and likely captured several buildings in the eastern part of the town. They are now reportedly moving towards the railway line. The goal here may be to envelop the Ukrainian formations in the northern part of the town, before pushing south and beyond.

There are unconfirmed reports that Russian forces have restarted offensive operations in Vovchansk.

Russian forces are reportedly continuing their advance on the northern flank of Selydove. This appears to be a push to encircle the city. Keep an eye on this direction.

My prediction for the city:

Reports are coming in just now that Russian forces have captured the village of Nelipivka in the Toretsk direction.

If true, this was likely achieved with a combined push up the eastern bank of the Kazenyi Torets river. This also would've forced a Ukrainian withdrawal from the salient north of Niu-york.

These reports are currently unconfirmed.

In Vuhledar, Russian forces are reportedly continuing their slow advance inside the town.

Russian sources reported that Russian forces advanced and occupied three high-rise buildings on Sharkhtarska street in the southern Micro-district. If this is true, then they may be attempting to reach the hospital in the far south of the town.

This would be easier than assaulting uphill, through the grey zone from the south.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continue to conduct offensive operations in Kursk Oblast and have recently advanced.

Following a pause in the reports on fighting near the village of Borki on the eastern side of the Kursk salient, Russian forces restarted their offensive operations. This was initially reported around 4 days ago but was only confirmed today.

4 Russian armoured vehicles advanced through the fields southwest of Borki and approached the forest plantations near the international border with Ukraine. Based on initial reports by Russian sources, Russian forces didn't reach these positions but were able to take up a number of positions in the forest plantations in the low-lying ground further east.

Additionally, Russian infantry was able to advance into the forests to the north and captured Ukrainian positions near the outskirts of the village of Plekhovo. The AFU still controls the forest adjacent to Plekhovo, and maintains fire control over the approaches to the village. This means that the Russians will likely attempt to seize this forest before advancing into Plekhovo itself.

Here's a better visualisation of what I mean in the last part. Blue arrows represent Ukrainian fire control, Red arrows represent possible Russian vectors of attack.

Over the past three hours, Israeli airstrikes have targeted the settlements of:
- Tulin
- Badias
- Rahhal Tower
- Harouf
- Qalawieh
- Haris
- Al-Wazani,
as shown on the map.

Multiple IDF soldiers were reportedly injured during recent clashes with Hamas in Khan Younis.
