Scenes from Karmiel

Direct hit near the city centre

An Israeli airstrike targeted Homs, Syria. Three people were injured. One source claimed that it targeted a humanitarian aid truck.

Israel has announced evacuation orders for new settlements in southern Lebanon.

Israeli media reported that 4 Israeli soldiers were killed in northern Gaza today, presumably in Jabalia.

An officer is among the dead

A short while ago, US warplanes bombed the Hodeidah Governorate in western Yemen. It is unknown if British warplanes took part in the operation too.

I didn't make any map updates yesterday, and a lot has happened.

Kurakhove is collapsing, offensive operations near Velyka Novosilka have restarted, a new salient is being formed in the Lyman direction, and more.

Update from Kurakhove:

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces broke through Ukrainian defences south of Kurakhove and reached the village of Dalnje.

Following an initial tank attack in the low-lying ground south of Maksymilyanivka, the Ukrainian lines suddenly gave way, and Russia committed mechanised infantry to the attack, exploiting the Ukrainian collapse.

They were initially able to advance south down two treelines. Ukrainian units stationed to the east, realising that they didn't have the strength to counterattack (likely due to a lack of ammunition which is very difficult to supply through the remaining Ukrainian-controlled corridor), decided to withdraw southwards, making the cauldron smaller. This was probably done in preparation for a final withdrawal westward in the case of another Russian breakthrough. It would make withdrawing take less time and would be less chaotic.

Although it does mean that more soldiers are concentrated in one area than previously as the cauldron has shrunk. We may see Russian FAB glide bomb strikes on the remaining positions here in the near future, which would obviously result in significant Ukrainian casualties.

After this initial withdrawal from the northern part of the cauldron, Russia continued their mechanised offensive and broke through to the eastern outskirts of Dalnje. Some sources wrote that they assault detachments were able to enter the eastern streets of Dalnje, however this is unconfirmed. What we do know is that the Russians bypassed Daljne from the north and began assaulting the northern houses with tanks and armoured vehicles.

Ukraine responded by concentrating their artillery on the column. FPV drones dropped grenades on them, and a single Ukrainian tank defended Dalnje, successfully destroying a Russian truck. In total, 2 Russian tanks and 6 armoured fighting vehicles were damaged or destroyed. It is unknown what happened to the Ukrainian tank.

Shortly after this, Russian sources began reporting that Dalnje was captured. I am yet to view visual confirmation of this, however.

Despite Ukraine likely committing extra artillery to this direction, the situation remains critical in the city, and catastrophic for the units to the southeast.

Geolocated footage and reliable reports indicate that Russian forces have likely captured the village of Novoselydivka in the Kurakhove direction, after weeks of assault operations and stiff Ukrainian resistance.

The footage shows Russian troops raising their flag over a house in the southern part of the village. This indicates an increased control zone, to the point where Russia controls roughly half of the village. It was already known that the Russians had likely advanced in the southeast of the village, but this geolocation confirms it.

However, recent reports from reliable sources state that Russian troops have cleared all of Novoselydivka from a Ukrainian presence and have taken the agricultural buildings on the southwestern outskirts. This would also suggest that the treelines between Novoselydivka and Kreminna Balka were occupied.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the western part of the Kursk salient and seized the village of Cherkasskaya Konopelka.

They were able to advance from positions near Fanaseevka, and cleared the village of any Ukrainian presence. This likely occurred a couple of weeks ago, as that is when the first reports came out regarding its capture.

From there, Russia cleared the forests to the southwest and attempted a river crossing. Ukraine responded by hitting the Russians who attempted to cross the Psel river with artillery and FPV drones, resulting in at least 12 Russian soldiers being wounded or killed.

Recent reports from reliable sources suggest that Russian forces restarted assault operations in the Velyka Novosilka direction and captured most of Rivnopil.

Russian troops were reportedly able to advance along the tactical heights and entered Rivnopil from the west via a treeline. They also reportedly advanced along two treelines further east but were unable to seize them in their entirety. Once they are fully captured, it would allow for assault operations on western Rivnopil.

Additionally, Russian forces likely advanced in the direction of Novodarivka. This would have been done by crossing a small river and advancing up two parallel treelines.

A recent report by Pro-Ukrainian source "Deepstate" suggests that Russian forces have likely advanced in the Pokrovsk direction.

After capturing Novooleksiivka and eliminating the salient to the south of the village, the Russians reportedly worked to make a buffer zone to the north by attacking in the direction of Yurivka. They were apparently able to advance along a treeline running from east to west, before taking up positions in nearby forest plantations on the southeastern outskirts of the settlement.

No confirmation from any source has been received of any Russian positions inside buildings in the village, however.

The IDF army spokesman confirmed the deaths of 4 IDF soldiers in battles in the Northern Gaza strip. The soldiers were from the 92nd infantry battalion "Shimshon" of the 900th infantry brigade "Kafr" from the 99th infantry division "flash". The 900th infantry brigade was previously deployed to the Jabalia area on November 1st, to conduct clearing operations against remnants of the Al-Qassam brigades operating there.
