Geran drones were launched from Kursk a short while ago. This is much earlier than usual. These attacks seem to be getting longer and longer.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced deeper into Kupyansk.

Following their initial assault operations which saw a tank and an APC advance into the city via the railway line, it appears that a second assault group has made their way through the gap in Ukrainian defences.

If I had to guess, more APCs advanced southwards along the railway line, before troops dismounted and scattered amongst the houses to the west of the tracks. Two Russian soldiers, possibly reconnaissance, continued advancing westwards before reaching Ukrainian positions and surrendering.

This advance also indicates that Russian forces secured some of the industrial zone to the east to prevent against Ukrainian flanking attacks.

+ ~0.4km² in favour of Russia

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have made significant progress in Chasiv Yar, and captured the entirety of the eastern suburbs of the city.

Most of this advance likely occurred a few weeks ago, when multiple reports from reliable sources surfaced stating that they were approaching the city centre and had captured most of the eastern suburbs. However, we have only received visual confirmation of this now.

In addition to this advance, Russian troops advanced deeper into Chasiv Yar, reaching the city centre and the main Ukrainian command and control centre in the refractory plant. FABs continue to rain down on Ukrainian positions in the Ukrainian-controlled parts of the city.

This advance also creates a large cauldron which Ukrainian forces are stationed in. Russia has previously dropped leaflets to Ukrainian soldiers there ordering them to surrender.

+ ~1.90km² in favour of Russia

Copestate finally gave up on Klishchiivka

Novo Illinka has likely been operationally encircled.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continue to advance along the tactical heights southwest of Novooleksiivka and have taken up new treeline positions.

The Russians were able to advance in two main directions: in the south, they advanced for ~1.72km along a treeline, before likely branching off to capture the adjecent treeline. In the north, they captured two forested areas, before advancing south down another treeline, taking up positions there.

Ukraine responded by launching FPV drones at and drone-dropping grenades on various Russian positions in the area, wounding and killing at least 12 Russian soldiers and destroying two Russian motorbikes.

+ ~3.78km² in favour of Russia

A recent report by Pro-Ukrainian source "Deepstate" suggests that Russian forces have advanced on the South Donetsk front and entered the large forest southwest of Yelyzavetivka.

This forest is the main Ukrainian stronghold in the salient to the south of the Sukhi Yaly river. However, this advance doesn't matter much as Ukraine is likely about to withdraw from here soon.

Recent reports state that Ukrainian forces continue to advance in the Toretsk area and captured the former TB hospital in the south-east of the Zabalka district.

So far, (according to geolocations and reports), during these Ukrainian assault operations, they have recaptured ~3.13km² of territory, including the entirety of the Zabalka district of Toretsk, a Terykon (industrial waste heap), a hospital, and a series of forested areas.

Recent reports state that Russian forces continue to advance in eastern Toretsk, and have taken control over part of a private residential sector.

Additionally, it is reported that they made significant progress in the direction of the village of Dachne, securing around half of the settlement.

A recent report states that Ukrainian forces completely pushed Russia from the ruins of Verkhnokamyanske in the Siversk direction.

Recent reports from multiple sources suggests that Russian forces have restarted offensive operations west of Karmazynivka, in the direction of the Oskil river. They may be attempting to bypass the Ukrainian positions in Novojehorivka which Russia failed to take during their limited offensive operations here in 2023.

Russian forces are reportedly conducting assault operations on Ukrainian positions in the forest plantations near Martynovka and Malaya Locknya in Kursk Oblast.

Russian forces have reportedly significantly expanded their zone of control in eastern Kupyansk after bringing in reserves. They have also reportedly advanced in the industrial area and have consolidated their positions.

Extremely heavy fighting is ongoing.

It's crazy to me how little media coverage the Russian South Donetsk breakthrough got, both in mainstream media and on Twitter.

It seems people are pre-occupied with more "important" topics, such as North Korean soldiers in Kursk (which there is still no proof of btw).
