Kalibrs in the direction of Zaporizhzhia-Dnipro

False alarm. No Kalibrs were launched.

Geolocated footage from around a week ago indicates that Russian forces significantly advanced in the Kurakhove direction.

Here, Russian infantry supported by armored fighting vehicles and tanks managed to capture the majority of Heorhiivka. Forwards units managed to establish positions on the first streets of Maksymylanivka. The Russians are now less than 1 town away from reaching the key Ukrainian-held town of Kurakhove.

Russian forces are also actively attacking on the high ground south of Heorhiivka, but I will report more on that tomorrow.

The maximum advance of Russian forces was ~4.36km.

Reportedly air defence traces in Sudzha following a Ukrainian HIMARS strike on the town. This plus other reports indicate that it might be a busy day for Russian air defence.

ATACMS were launched from Kramatorsk and are heading for Mariupol.

Reportedly some of the ATACMS were shot down but some hit their targets. Air defence traces are visible in the skies over the city.

It is reported that at least one Ukrainian missile was shot down over Nikolske (Northwest of Mariupol). Adjusting the course to fit that report.

"The missiles were intercepted in the south of the DPR and were heading towards the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region."

Based on these reports it is possible that the previous reports were wrong and that none of the missiles hit their targets. Still too early to tell though.

The danger for Occupied Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts is not over yet. There is now an aviation threat.

In other news, heavy fighting is being reported in the centre of Rafah in the Gaza strip. Machine guns are active.
