Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continue to advance in Western-most Luhansk Oblast.

Here, Russian infantry supported by at least one unknown vehicle seized control over a forested area. From there they likely consolidated control over their new positions before launching another attack likely consisting of Russian infantry. Here they were able to capture and take up new positions in the adjacent treeline.

After this, Russian infantry on motorbikes launched another assault on the next treeline that runs from the forest. Due to the fact that the soldiers on the Motorbikes were hit by small-arms fire, the treeline is either in the grey zone or under Russian control by now. The small-arms fire indicates that Ukrainian positions are likely in the next treeline over.

The maximum advance of Russian forces was ~2.57km.

The dialysis center in El Fasher, Sudan caught fire today after the building was hit by RSF shelling. This is yet another example of RSF forces targeting medical buildings, although it is possible that the SAF was using this as a base of operations. Despite this I wouldn't put it past the RSF to do this in order to sew fear among the civilians trapped in the besieged city.

(Part 1) Geolocated footage indicates that Ukrainian forces continue to advance around Vovchansk and today liberated the village of Tykhe.

Following supporting attacks on a Russian stronghold on the eastern outskirts of Vovchansk, Ukrainian forces began active assault operations on Tykhe from the east and were able to successfully push the Russians entirely out of the village. The Russians responded by bombarding the settlement with FABs and hitting Ukrainian positions in the houses and small industrial buildings near the forest.

This advance also allowed Ukrainian forces to gain a foothold on the main tactical heights north of Vovchansk which may be useful in the future for pushing the Russians from the forests further north.

(Part 2) There are also reports that the area north of Tykhe all the way up to the international border is in the grey zone, which will make it easier for Ukraine to recapture it and push west to the rear of Vovchansk. This is all speculation of course and it is entirely possible that following the liberation of Tykhe, the Ukrainian offensive will completely fizzle out. However, it is too early to tell, and for now, they are slowly moving forward.

I've talked about why I disagree with the Ukrainian decision-making behind the offensive operations in Northern Kharkiv Oblast in a separate post (on Twitter), so I won't talk about that here.

The maximum advance of Ukrainian forces was ~1.94km.

Threat of Ballistics from Crimea

A reliable Russian source reported that Russian forces have advanced to the centre of Sokil and are consolidating in the eastern houses of Yevhenivka.

This whole sector of the frontline has been re-activated. This may be the beginning of the slow push to Pokrovsk following the Ukrainian redeployment of troops to northern Kharkiv, likely from this direction.

Amazing work by
@Playfra0

We can see that there is one more Ukrainian defensive line outside Pokrovsk. It is short and the Russians can go around it, but it is something.

There is also a possible kill zone in a valley where there is a gap in the defensive lines.

Satellite imagery indicates that IDF tanks advanced to the northern outskirts of Rafah and captured all of the Saudi district and most of the Tell es-Sultan refugee camp.

Both Russian and Ukrainian telegram channels are reporting that Russian forces launched Kh-69 cruise missiles at the high-rise residential block known as "the citadel".

The citadel is the main Ukrainian stronghold in Vovchansk.

Geolocated footage and reliable reports from both sides indicate that Russian forces have made significant progress in the Toretsk direction. Let's break it down:

Russian infantry, likely concealed by the windbreaks on either side of the railway line advanced in two directions from the Mayorske checkpoint. They were able to advance ~1.83km northwest, capturring the key Ukrainian strongpoint at the Siversky-donets canal filtering station and advanced ~3.06km west entering the outskirts of Druzhba and Pivnichne, establishing themselves in positions in the houses on Hirnytskyi Lane and Zaliznychna Street.

As a result of these advances, Russian forces were able to occupy a series of strong trench fortifications between Pivnichne and Mayorske dating back to 2015-2016.

(Part 2) Additionally, reliable reports indicate that Russian forces advanced from the Mayorske concrete plant and captured the village of Shumy, before advancing to and reportedly capturing the nearby Terykons (industrial waste heaps). Here they managed to advance by ~1.85km to the eastern outskirts of Pivnichne.

Multiple smoke plumes are rising in Kharkiv city following Russian FAB strikes.

The Sudanese armed forces are reportedly redeploying forces to the city of Sennar following the RSF seizure of the Jebel Moya area West of the city. The fears of an imminent RSF offensive of Sennar itself have now become real.
