The 162nd division of the IDF has reportedly been redeployed from Rafah to Jabalia

It appears that over the past couple of hours, the ground operation into Gaza City has begun. IDF tanks, likely from the 401st armoured brigade of the 162nd division broke through the buffer zone (green) and advanced into the residential area separating the Jabalia refugee camp and central Gaza city.

IDF sources claimed that they went further and have cut off Jabalia from the rest of the Gaza strip and are now attacking from the northeast in the direction of Beit Lahiya. This currently remains unconfirmed however.

More to come.

More than 70 airstrikes have reportedly been carried out on Gaza city and it's surroundings in the past 18 hours. There are unconfirmed reports of 60 deaths.

The artillery shelling and gunfire is non-stop. This is a very major raid.

Reports from reliable sources indicate that Russian forces have advanced in Tsukuryne and have captured most of the town.

The Russians were able to close the small salient in the east of the settlement, before advancing over the railway tracks and capturing all of the residential area, except for a couple of streets in the southwest.

Battles are now ongoing for the poultry farm on the western outskirts.

There are now preliminary reports suggesting that Russian forces have cleared the remaining residential buildings in eastern Tsukuryne.

I expect that they will cross the open ground to the railway line in the near future to begin their assault on Kreminna Balka.

Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces have begun their assault on Antonivka (Kurakhove direction). They used 5 AFVs and tanks, and advanced towards the outskirts. At least 3 of the vehicles were disabled/destroyed by a Ukrainian FPV drones, indicating that this attack may have failed.

However, this attack indicates that the trees circled in the yellow are now in the grey zone, with Ukrainian forces withdrawing to Antonivka.

It is likely that the Russians will try again in the future as the fact that they attacked shows that they are ready for renewed assaults in this direction.

The Russians are still heavily bombarding Vovchansk with FAB-1500 bombs. The AFU is surely taking heavy casualties there. There is basically nowhere to hide at this point as everything in the town has been levelled. It's turning into another Marinka, except Marinka didn't have FABs.

Clashes are being reported in an unspecified part of the Northern Gaza strip, likely in Jabalia.

Today marks one year since the start of the war and genocide in Gaza.

According to Gaza’s ministry of health:

41,870 people have been killed

97,116 people have been wounded

Over 10,000 people are still under the rubble

Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces have advanced in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and have crossed the dried-up inlet, establishing a bridgehead on the northern bank.

Following reports by Ukrainian military sources stating that they anticipated a new Russian offensive in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Russian infantry began limited assault operations in the contested town of Kamyanske.

They were able to capture a section of the dachas, however this is a precarious bridgehead and will be difficult to supply as the Russians will need to cross 800m of open land to supply where they will be extremely susceptible to Ukrainian artillery and FPV drones.

Additionally, it will be very difficult to bring heavy vehicles over as the ground is soggy and muddy. It all depends on how many Ukrainian drones are in this area.

Reports from reliable sources suggest that Russian forces have continued to advance north of Selydove and are now approaching the key crossroads between the E50 and M30 highways, which resupply the city.

Following a failed armoured assault from the terykons, Russian forces regrouped and conducted another attack in the direction of the ventilation shaft, likely capturing it. Ukrainian positions in the treeline to the west were also likely seized by Russian forces attacking in a pincer movement from the E50 highway in the south and the ventilation shaft in the north

If true, this advance also indicates that the treeline to the northeast of the gas station was captured.

Update from the Hirnyk-Selydove line:

There have been no confirmed advanced by the Russians over the past couple of days, however some reports suggest that they have managed to make substantial progress, although this is unconfirmed.

In Tsukuryne, Russian forces reportedly renewed their assault operations on the Poultry farm on the western outskirts and captured the entire complex. Meanwhile, Russian forces also reportedly advanced in the southwestern part of the town, capturing the remaining residential areas. If this is true, then it would mean that Tsukuryne has been entirely captured by Russia.

Further south, Russian forces reportedly advanced into the eastern houses of Novoselydivka, taking up positions with clashes ongoing. If true, this was likely done by advancing down the treeline that runs from north to south, using the trees as cover before breaking off into the village. This would also mean that Ukrainian forward positions and dugouts in the groves near that treeline were also seized.

Meanwhile in Izmailivka, while no advanced have been reported over the past couple of days, a report from a Ukrainian soldier who is apparently on the ground there states that Russian aircraft are heavily bombarding the village, but that the garrison stationed there is holding on.

The Dutch Minister of Defense, Ruben Brekelmans, stated on his Twitter account that Dutch F-16s have arrived in Ukraine, and that the other 24 jets will be delivered in the coming months.

Around an hour ago, 3 Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were launched at the Starokostyantyniv airfield, likely targeting F-16s. Explosions were reported in the area.
