A recent report states that Russian forces have advanced in the village of Lysivka in the Pokrovsk direction reaching the centre of the village and establishing control over around half of it. The main attack vector was reportedly along the northern street.

The capture of Lysivka would put the Russians just 4.1km from the outskirts of Pokrovsk.

Nevermind, they withdrew again. No clashes were reported.

LOL the NAFO idiot who first doxxed me got suspended.

An explosion was reported in Mykolaiv. Previously, an Iskander-M ballistic missile was launched at the city.

The Israeli army announces that air defenses shot down a drone that infiltrated from Gaza into “Israel.”

A new report states that Russian forces advanced along the railway line towards Vyshneve, although it is unknown how far they advanced.

A second Iskander-M was launched from Crimea at Mykolaiv Oblast.

Explosions in Mykolaiv.

A Russian Su-34 conducted a launch maneuver over Crimea. Likely launching more missiles to Mykolaiv.

A second launch maneuver was carried out.

No missiles are recorded in the airspace of Ukraine.

The Israeli military has announced the deaths of 3 soldiers during battles in the Gaza Strip. 2 others were wounded.

Meanwhile in Lebanon, the Israeli military announced the death of 1 soldier. 20 others were wounded.

The second stage of the Russian counteroffensive in Kursk Oblast appears to have begun.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have restarted their counteroffensive operations and have made significant progress in Kursk Oblast, recapturing ~56.1 square km of territory.

Firstly, a single Russian armoured vehicle from the 106th Airborne Division with an assault group advanced through the fields near the Korenevo-Sudzha road. A Ukrainian artillery shell was fired at the vehicle but missed. The assault group dismounted and entered a Ukrainian position at the end of the treeline where clashes likely ensued. Another Ukrainian artillery shell was fired, landing near the assault group, likely wounding some of them.

Another video shows at least three Russian armoured vehicles advancing down the Korenevo-Sudzha road without much resistance. This indicates that the village of Zelenyi Shlyakh is now in the grey zone.

Both of these advances show that Ukrainian forces have withdrawn from their spearhead around Olgovka, likely using the cover of the forest to withdraw before the Russians seized it. This advance also indicates that Russian forces captured the forest to the south.

Battles are now reportedly ongoing for Liubimovka and Novoivanovka. It appears that Ukraine is slowly withdrawing back to Sudzha.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced northeast of Tabaivka.

They likely employed two assault vectors here, one in the south, moving from forest plantation to forest plantation, and another larger one in the north where they advanced along a treeline leading to the highway to Kupyansk.

The Ukrainians responded by hitting the new Russian positions with FPV drones, likely killing and wounding at least 4 Russian soldiers.

It's possible that this is an old advance which dates back to the original assault on Kotlyarivka and Kyslivka.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have made significant progress in the direction of Kupyansk and have entered the village of Petropavlivka.

The knock-on effects of the fall of the stronghold village Synkivka appears to be coming to light now. Russian forces have advanced for ~2.73km in a southerly direction, capturing much of the northern residential area of Petropavlivka.

This advance was likely achieved with infantry moving through the eastern parts of the forests under the cover of the trees, before entering Petropavlivka. Forward units even managed to cross a tributary of the Hnylytsya river, but 4 soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces shortly afterwards.

This advance cuts off a section of Ukrainian formations from land connection with the main groupings in and around Kupyansk, meaning that they will need to cross either the Oskil or the Hnylytsya river to escape capture.

Update from the Orikhiv direction:

Russian forces appear to be continuing their preparation for future offensive operations in the direction of the key Ukrainian town and logistical node of Orikhiv.

Currently, Russian paratroopers from the 247th Airborne Regiment are reportedly slowly clearing treelines from Ukrainian forces who are heavily entrenched there. The Ukrainians are responding by shelling Russian positions north of Verbove, which may be where the Russians are accumulating manpower for these assault operations.

Meanwhile, the Russians are bombarding Mala Tokmachka, with one source claiming that up to 16 FABs and 2 GRAD MLRS salvos are launched at the village every day. Another source claimed that there are concentrations of Ukrainian manpower in the village which are being targeted. However, The Ukrainians are using FPV drones more and more, constantly changing their frequencies and using a variety of different types of drones, possibly to hunt out Russian MLRS systems.

A recent report by Pro-Ukrainian source "Deepstate", suggests that Russian forces have made a small advance west of Niu-york, capturing Ukrainian treeline positions, as well as a forest plantation directly outside the town.

Another report has come out of Selydove, stating that forward Russian assault units have come close to the intersection of Shkolnaya street and the railway line.

If true, this would indicate another 450m advance, although this has not been confirmed.

This may suggest that the frontal Russian assaults on Ukrainian positions in the agricultural buildings on the southern outskirts of Selydove around a week ago failed, resulting in the Russians choosing to bypass the Ukrainian positions via the railway line.

I've just seen a report that this advance is new, and that it was after several days of TOS MLRS strikes on Ukrainian positions here.
