Smoke rising over Tel Aviv.

Reports of three impacts.

Recent reports suggest that Russian forces advanced west of Vuhledar and captured the village of Zolota Nyva, along with the treelines to the south of it.

The initial Russian assaults on this village failed, leading to Russia turning to Vuhledar itself. Now that Vuhledar has fallen, it appears that they may have launched a new series of attacks in this direction, which have apparently been successful this time.

Aaand the second I post this, my second reliable source confirms the advance. It has been added to the map as a likely advance for now.

Recent reports suggest that Russian forces have advanced and captured the last part of Hrodivka, advancing in two directions in the last houses that were still under Ukrainian control.

This is currently unconfirmed.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced west of Vuhledar and captured the village of Zolota Nyva.

This was likely done with a main assault vector down the highway, and a supporting attack in the treelines to the south to protect the southern flank. After some minor clashes that occurred for less than a day, a Russian flag was raised over the village, confirming their control over it.

This now paves the way for attacks on the key Ukrainian logistical hub of Velyka Novosilka. However, as the Russians are still 10km away from the eastern outskirts of the town, I expect that once the Russians consolidate control over their positions in Zolota Nyva, they will begin to launch mechanised assaults along the highway.

Reports from reliable sources suggest that Russian forces have advanced south of Tsukuryne, capturing new positions, and entering the village of Novoselydivka.

Utilising their control over the Terykon (industrial waste heap), they were reportedly able to advance down the treeline directly south of the St. Basil mine and entered the northeastern buildings of Novoselydivka. It is also reported that the Russians were able to cross the Solonenkyi river and enter the southeastern houses.

Additionally, Russian forces likely advanced from their newly captured forward positions in the groves near the main treeline, and captured a Ukrainian trench fortification, along with the adjacent treeline. It is possible that this was done to assault Novoselydivka from the north, which would force a Ukrainian withdrawal to the northwestern part of the settlement.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have made significant progress in the Zhovtnevyl microdistrict of Chasiv Yar.

This advance likely took place nearly a month ago, as that is when the first reports came in regarding it, but I thought I would mention it considering its strategic importance.

This advance not only doubles the bridgehead on the western bank of the Siversky Donets canal, making it practically impossible for Ukraine to push them back, but also puts the Russians much closer to the town centre which holds the last high-rise buildings still under Ukrainian control.

However, the main target for the Russians is to capture the refractory plant to the west, as it is the main command and control centre for the AFU. It is still being hit by FABs to this day, indicating a significant Ukrainian presence there.

Geolocated footage confirms that Russian forces have advanced southeast of Makiivka.

This was already likely, in fact the whole purple area on the map is likely advances. They likely advanced from their footholds in the northern part of the two parallel treelines, before attacking downhill and reaching the gulley, where they seized the northern windbreak.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced in Kursk oblast, seizing a brigehead on the eastern bank of the Zorka river in Liubimovka.

The first Russian advance here likely took place around 2 weeks ago during the main counterattack, where Russian forces captured the easternmost part of Liubimovka, however since then, they have been successful in crossing the Zorka River and entering the central part of the village, taking up positions in the school and near the church.

Recent reports by Hezbollah suggest that Israeli forces have advanced across the international border, entering the settlement of Maroun El Ras. They likely captured the "Iranian park" and the surrounding residential buildings, where they reportedly uncovered tunnel systems and weapon stockpiles.

This advance is significant as it means that Israel now has a foothold on the hill which Maroun El Ras is situated on, meaning that if enough troops can get into the foothold without being pushed back, they can expand it to the rest of the village.

Additionally, Israeli forces are reportedly attempting to bypass the village from the west but were ambushed by Hezbollah and took casualties.

Update from Gaza - Jabalia axis:

Following the beginning of the Israeli ground operation in Jabalia, the IDF has significantly advanced with armoured support into Jabalia, and are now approaching and entering the Jabalia refugee camp - one of, if not the most densely populated area of the entire Gaza strip.

Israeli forces advanced in two main directions, one in the north and one in the south. In the north, IDF tanks advanced into Gaza city and captured most of the district of Beit Lahiya, reaching the Hala al shawa medical centre. They then bypassed Jabalia refugee camp and seized the headquarters of the Beitna Foundation, where the Al-Qassam brigades detonated an explosive against an Israeli armoured personnel carrier. Additionally, an Israeli infantry force was targeted by a remote explosive device while moving through a residential building in the Turkish Hawuz area, west of Jabalia.

In the south, following the initial armoured breakthrough into the Jabalia district of Gaza city, Israeli forces turned to the Jabalia refugee camp and began clearing operations in the direction of the Jabalia refugee camp market. Bulldozing operations were also reported near the Jabalia services club. Fierce battles were reported in the vicinity of the UNRWA clinic in block 2 of Jabalia, marking the first battles inside the refugee camp itself since the beginning of the new operations. The Al-Aqsa martyrs brigades mortared Israeli troops in the vicintiy of the Civil administration east of Jabalia, indicating another Israeli advance. One Israeli soldier was killed after a RPG hit a Merkava tank in southern Jabalia, while multiple others were reportedly wounded.

Meanwhile, the effects on civilians in and around Jabalia has been significant. It is reported that the bodies of dozens of civilians are spread throughout the streets of Jabalia, and that the Civil Defence cannot reach them, likely due to extensive Israeli air and artillery strikes. The Israeli air force is bombarding the Jabalia refugee camp and Beit Lahia, with one source stating that they are targeting “anything that moves”.

Recent unconfirmed reports state that Russian forces have significantly advanced in Maksymilyanivka (Kurakhove direction), capturing the majority of the town.

If true, this was likely done by simultaneously advancing from their positions in the eastern part of the settlement, and from their reported bridgehead in the northernmost street.

The dotted yellow line is the new reported frontline, whereas the solid yellow line is the old reported frontline.

Around 45 minutes ago, a Russian missile (likely Iskander) was launched at Kharkiv. Explosions were reported and smoke was seen rising over the city.

No sirens sounded.

Ukraine has reportedly moved its field hospital out of Ivanopillya to the industrial plant in Kostyantynivka.

There have been some significant changes on the map over the last 24 hours. The Russians are advancing in a new direction.

Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces have made substantial progress in the Siversk direction and have captured the village of Verkhnokamyanske.

The Russian Ministry of Defence originally claimed control over this village around a week and a half ago, but only now has it been visually confirmed. Russian forces have driven a wedge through Ukrainian defences without much resistance and are now within 3.85km of the eastern outskirts of Siversk.

This was one of the most fortified parts of the frontline and has been broken very quickly. This is a very bad sign for Ukraine as it indicates that the Russians can advance practically anywhere that they want.

The next goal for Russia here will probably be to capture the tactical heights to the north and south of Verkhnokamyanske, before linking up with assault detachments from Vyimka and attacking Siversk from the south and the east.

Vovchansk is hell on earth...

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced northeast of Siversk and have entered the ruins of Hryhorivka.

This sector of the front has been relatively quiet for a long time, but it appears that Russia has restarted assault operations here in coordination with the attack on Verkhnokamyanske.

They advanced from forest plantation to forest plantation, reaching the outskirts of Hryhorivka and hung their flag over the easternmost ruins of a house.

One reliable Russian source reported that the entire village was seized, however this has not been confirmed.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have broken through Ukrainian positions in and around the city of Toretsk, reaching the main industrial area.

This sector of the front in Toretsk appeared to be relatively quiet for some time following the initial Russian advances into the southern part of the city, but since then, they have made additional gains, capturing the Kulatsky microdistrict, before advancing on the Zabalka district, capturing all of it except for the westernmost streets.

This has forced a Ukrainian withdrawal from their remaining positions in the forest to the east of Toretsk, along with positions in the Nakhalivka suburb.

There was also a smaller advance in the northeast of the city, where Russian forces advanced to Myrna Street, seizing 9 blocks of residential houses.
