Explosions in the Haifa bay area.

Fires broke out in the Kiryat area, northeast of Haifa as a result of Hezbollah rocket attacks.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced in central Vovchansk and captured the entirety of "the citadel". They also captured a highrise building opposite the Vovchansk police station.

We know this because footage was released showing a Ukrainian counterattack by the 57th motorised brigade on a Russian stronghold in the ruins of a factory building to the southeast of the citadel. Multiple Russian POWs were taken.

While Russian forces are now at a much more advantageous position in the city by controlling the citadel, it appears that Ukraine retains the ability to conduct successful counterattacks. However, the fact that the city lies entirely in ruins makes it very difficult to maintain a large presence there due to the lack of cover from FPV drones, artillery strikes and airstrikes.

It's funny how the Ukrainian general staff ignores the 2 Russian missiles which struck Kherson earlier.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources suggest that Russian forces have advanced in Terny and captured around half of the village.

If true, the Russians likely advanced down the main street, while branching off to the eastern street, southwest of the agricultural buildings.

Clashes are likely ongoing in the centre of the settlement.

This report comes as other reports state that Ukrainian forces are constantly counterattacking here. If that is true, then it would appear that Russia has transferred some of its best units to Terny, if they can not only hold back against constant counterattacks, but also steadily advance southwards.

In the Kurakhove direciton, a new report states that Russian forces have marginally advanced north of Novodmytrivka and are developing an offensive towards Novooleksiivka.

The IDF has reportedly sent reinforcements to Jabalia, in the Northern Gaza Strip.

The 900th "Kafr" Brigade of the 99th "flash" infantry Division apparently moved into the Jabalia area last night, joining the 84th "Givati" Brigade and the 401st "Iron Tracks" Brigade, both of which are a part of the 162nd Division.

The divisional combat team of the Kafr Brigade entered Jabalia with several battalions, including the 90th "Nachshon" infantry Battalion, the 92nd "Shimshon" infantry Battalion and an unspecified armored battalion of the 188th Brigade (either the 53rd Armored Battalion, the 71st Armored Battalion, or the 74th Armored Battalion)

A total of 3 brigades are now operating in the Jabalia area, along with the Multi-Dimensional Unit and the 13th Fleet.

Israeli media reported that 3 IDF soldiers have been killed in Gaza since this morning.

The aftermath of an Israeli drone strike on an unknown target in southern Beirut.

The Australian ministry of defence announced that Ukraine will receive a batch of retired JDAM-ER glide bombs with a range of up to 80km.

It is currently unknown how many will be transferred.

Pro-Ukrainian source "Deepstate" reported that Russian forces have advanced in Kursk Oblast, recapturing the northern spearhead and pushing the Ukrainians back to Pogrebki.

Considering recent patterns in this area, this was likely done with a mechanised assault. This would risk cutting off the limited Ukrainian formations stationed in the far north of the salient, forcing a withdrawal southward.

It is also possible that the Russians recaptured the southern outskirts of Khitrovka, which the AFU entered.

If this advance is true, then in my opinion they will attempt to advance over the bridge that leads to Pogrebki as there is a reservoir in the way of the advance, however, it is possible that Ukraine has already destroyed it.

Recent reports state that Ukrainian forces have conducted successful counterattacks in Torske and pushed the Russians out of the village.

If true, considering the fact that it was split in half by a Russian wedge, it is likely that this attack came from the flanks, before pushing eastwards, to the farm on the outskirts and eventually pushing the Russians back to the treelines.

Geolocated footage indicates that Ukrainian forces made a small advance in the Serebryanske forest.

A Ukrainian tank advanced beyond new positions, indicating at least a limited Ukrainian presence in the trenches behind it.

Russian forces have been attacking Ukrainian positions with TOS-1 thermobaric munitions, likely resulting in heavy Ukrainian casualties.

It is unknown when this advance occurred.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced south of Novodmytrivka, capturing three more treelines.

This advance likely occurred from Novodmytrivka itself and took place with three separate attack vectors along each parallel treeline, towards the fields west of Voznesenka.

This advance will allow Russia to bypass Voznesenka from the west, while other troops attack it from the east, further accelerating the collapse southwards to the Kurakhove reservoir.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced deeper into Antonivka, and captured around half of the eastern part of the village.

This was done with infantry assaults which saw Russian soldiers advance from their positions in the eastern-most houses, westwards, clearing Ukrainian positions by throwing grenades into the basements of destroyed houses. No visible resistance was seen in the video published, and in the end, at least 2 Ukrainian soldiers surrendered to the Russian soldiers.

The goal of this advance is likely to catch up with the attack vector south of the Sukhi Yaly river and force a Ukrainian withdrawal from the salient to the north and northeast, facilitating for an eventual attack on Kurakhove.

A recent report states that Russian forces have begun offensive operations in the direction of Yampolivka in the Lyman direciton.

It is reported that the position known as "Teshka" (blue circle) has been captured. The Russians then reportedly went on to enter the forest in the lowlands and are now apparently contesting the position known as "Varezhka" (green circle).

If this is true, then I expect we will see a Ukrainian withdrawal from the adjacent treeline in the near future.

Recent reports from reliable sources suggest that Russian forces advanced on the South Donetsk front and captured the village of Shakhtarske.

After establishing positions in the eastern buildings, Russian infantry then likely advanced to the northwest. Once the village was occupied, they reportedly then advanced to the treeline just outside it on the northwestern outskirts.

There are also reports that state that Russian forces marginally advanced south of Shakhtarske, capturing the rest of a treeline.

Russian forces have reportedly entered Novooleksiivka in the Pokrovsk direction resulting in clashes breaking out with Ukrainian troops defending the village. It is unclear whether the Russians have established a foothold.
