Geolocated footage indicates that the IDF marginally advanced on Middle street in central Rafah, reaching the local school.

The maximum advance of the IDF was ~210m

Sirens are sounding in Nachal Oz, southern Israel. There is likely a rocket threat from Gaza.

A reliable source reported that Ukrainian forces are counterattacking in the Yasnobrodivka area (Avdiivka direction). This is surprising considering Ukraine is doomed to lose the "peninsula" that sticks out into the reservoirs.

It is unknown whether or not this counterattack was successful or not, but we should hopefully see in the coming days.

The ballistic missile was launched at Mykolaiv Oblast and was reportedly shot down. The debris reportedly fell on a truck, injuring the driver. No casualties were reported.

Reports indicate that heavy fighting is ongoing in the Jebel Moya area in Sudan. Jebel Moya is west of the key SAF held city of Sennar.

These reports come as the RSF seize control over a key SAF stronghold in the sugar factory north of Sennar, pushing the old Sennar township into the grey zone.

The civilian population of Sennar has been fleeing en masse, indicating an Imminent RSF offensive directly on the city from the north and the west.

Following the IDF raid on Al-Shejaiya in Gaza city and intense shelling of the area, the Palestinian red crescent reported that more than 30 people were wounded.

Reports indicate that the Ukrainian garrisons holed up in the two small high-rise residential buildings in the central part of the Kanal-microdistrict of Chasiv Yar withdrew to the main stronghold in the last residential block.

If true, it would put those buildings in the grey zone, and if captured by Russia, it would make assaults on St Boris's church (slightly further south) much easier.

It's a busy day for Russian air defence in Donetsk city.

Missile danger for Crimea.

The Kerch bridge has been closed.

Missile danger for Sevastopol.

The missile danger is over. It was just Ukrainian aviation.

More HIMARS were launched at Belgorod. Russian sources claim that the attack was repulsed by air defence.

Smoke is rising over Debaltseve, occupied Donetsk Oblast.

Some Russian TG channels reported that missiles were indeed launched, but that they were shot down on their way to Sevastopol. Waiting on confirmation.

Video showing heavy fighting in the town of Kyatpyin as resistance forces try to cut the road and surround the nearby town of Mogok from all sides.

Explosions in Kharkiv. Likely glide bombs.

15 people were reportedly killed and 105 injured.

Heavy fighting and clashes are being reported in the Tar as Sultan (blue) and Suadi (red) neighborhoods in Rafah. Both of these areas are currently contested.

Russian Shahed drones were largely targeting southern and western Ukraine today. Interestingly they are still targeting the Starokostyantyniv airfield in Khmelnytskyi Oblast which is likely where F-16 infrastructure was being built.

Additionally, some drones targeted the Transcarpathia region for the first time in a decent amount of time, while Kherson and Mykolaiv Oblasts were heavily targeted as usual.

Following Russia's success in advancing by over 3.3km in the Kupyansk direction, Ukrainian forces launched a counterattack on Russia's eastern flank, possibly with the goal of encircling the Russian-held forward trench system which they captured just the other day.

So far as a result of the counterattacks, Ukrainian forces lost one IFV. The infantry assault group also likely sustained losses as they came under Russian shelling.

It is currently unknown whether or not this counterattack was successful, but if it was it would put the Russian forces in their new positions in an operational encirclement, and they would have to retreat across the open field in order to reach safe lines. It would also buy more time for the defence of Synkivka, Petropavlivka and Kupyansk and slow the Russians down in their offensive efforts.
