5-6 bombs were used to completely level the 6-story building.

No evacuation orders were issued. We might be witnessing one of the deadliest mass casualty events in Lebanon since the beginning of the war.

Plus it’s 4:30am. Basically everyone was asleep in Lebanon.

Israeli warplanes continue to fly over Beirut.

A direct impact from a Hezbollah rocket next to a factory in Krayot.

A preliminary toll states that 4 people were killed and 23 others injured.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in eastern Kharkiv Oblast, capturing the village of Pershotravneve and entering Kopanki.

This was previously reported around 2 weeks ago but has only just been confirmed today. After a Russian tank laid supressive fire on the eastern part of Pershotravneve, Russian infantry rushed into the village, capturing it in its entirety. Shortly afterwards, building on their momentum, the Russians advanced to, and entered Kopanki.

A Russian flag was raised over the eastern part of the village, but so far, no confirmation has been received of their full control over it. However, this advance is on the high ground and will allow Russia to advance downhill to the west, moving deeper into Kharkiv Oblast if they wish.

+ ~2.22km² in favour of Russia

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have significantly advanced in the cauldron south of Kurakhove.

It appears that Ukraine has pulled out of the easternomost and most dangerous part of this cauldron, with the goal of not being encircled from the flanks. Currently, most of Ukraine's forces are on the flanks, putting up fierce resistance against the slowly advancing Russian army, but this withdrawal indicates that Ukraine knows that it can't hold out for too much longer.

After this withdrawal took place, Russian forces were able to advance from the newly captured village of Antoniva to the north of Illinka, seizing a Ukrainian stronghold. This might be to attempt an encirclement of Ukrainian formations in eastern Illinka against the Sukhi Yaly river.

+ ~28.0km² in favour of Russia

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced in the direction of Rozdolne, taking up new treeline positions.

Russian forces were able to significantly increae the buffer zone to the north and northwest of Shakhtarske, and are now within 2.7km of Rozdolne. Russian "turtle tanks" attempted to advance further, but were abandoned for some reason, and then struck by Ukrainian FPV drones.

It appears that the goal is to capture Rozdolne and cut one of the Ukrainian supply routes into Velyka Novosilka.

+ ~17.6km² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced in the western part of the Kursk salient, recapturing the village of Darino.

After a bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Snagost river was established, with the Russians taking up positions in the centre of Darino, Russian troops continued their assault operations, pushing outwards in three main directions.

In the north, they completed the capture of a residential street, in the east they were able to seize the agricultural buildings on the outskirts, also capturing Ukrainian POWs, and in the south, they completed the capture of another residential street.

+ ~1.12km² in favour of Russia.

A recent report by Pro-Ukrainian source "Deepstate" says that Russian forces have advanced northeast of Yasna Polyana, taking up new treeline positions. They then reportedly went on to take up further positions in the treeline running east to west.

It was also reported that Russian forces created a small buffer-zone north of Maksymivka.

Newly released satellite imagery from Palmyra, Syria reveals the true scale of destruction in the city after the Israeli airstrikes 2 days ago.

Entire blocks of buildings have been levelled. The destruction has been concentrated in four main spots.

Around one third of the western district of Palmyra was destroyed, but interestingly, no civilian deaths were reported by Syrian authorities, however at least 50 SAA (Syrian Arab Army) and SAA-affiliated soldiers were killed.

It suggests that this part of the city had been turned into a military position by the SAA.

Geolocated footage indicates that Israeli forces have advanced in the town of Khiyam on the eastern sector of the South Lebanon front.

Khiyam is currently the epicentre of fighting in Lebanon, with this level of ferocity not seen since the 2006 war. Israeli forces are fighting against a reinforced Hezbollah garrison who is clinging to every street.

After a series of unsuccessful assaults into the southern part of the town due to constant Hezbollah artillery, rocket, and drone attacks on Israeli tanks and infantry, the IDF appears to have finally broken into the main residential area, taking up positions in the ruins of buildings. They move under constant air and artillery support, as they carpet bomb the entire town.

To the east, Hezbollah has been repelling attack after attack of Israeli troops, with many attacks being thwarted before they even begin due to targeting of Israeli forward troop concentrations. 10 seperate Hezbollah rocket attacks were carried out on eastern Khiyam in a single day, likely resulting in significant Israeli casualties.

And, in the past 12 hours, unconfirmed reports have surfaced stating that Hezbollah has begun counter-offensive operations inside Khiyam, and are pushing Israeli forces from positions near the city centre. There are also unconfirmed reports that a commander of the Golani brigade lost contact with his unit, and other unconfirmed reports stating that multiple IDF soldiers had been captured by Hezbollah fighters.

Geolocated footage indicates that Israeli forces have significantly advanced on the eastern sector of the South Lebanon front, and captured most, if not all of the settlement of Deir Mimas.

The IDF was able to advance through the low-lying ground and has approached the Litani river. A Hezbollah statement said that they targeted Israeli forces in Deir Mimas with a rocket salvo indicating an Israeli presence there, however that does not give us confirmation of full control of the town. There are also reports that Israeli forces set up an observation point near the Litani river.

An Israeli tank was also seen advancing north up the highway to Nabatiyeh, indicating an increased grey zone.

Recent reports from Hezbollah and other Lebanese sources indicate that Israeli forces have advanced in two directions on the western sector of the South Lebanon front.

Israeli infantry who had been building up in Chama following the capture of the village launch assault operations on Hezbollah positions on the hill west of the settlement, taking control of it. Hezbollah responded by launching a rocket salvo at Israeli troops stationed there, as well as in Chama.

Additionally, reports from the Hezbollah-affiliated source Al-Manar, and other Lebanese sources indicate that Israeli forces have begun advancing from Aalma el Chaeb, in the direction of the besieged town of Naqoura. During these assault operations, the IDF was able to capture another hill, with infantry advancing down a valley towards the eastern outskirts of Naqoura, suggesting an increased grey zone here.

Kan: The target of the airstrike in Beirut was Hezbollah’s operations Chief, Mohammad Haidar, according to a security source. However, it remains unclear whether the assassination was successful.

Russian forces have reportedly advanced down the treeline for over 4km in the direction of Romanivka, south of Kurakhove.

Russian forces are reportedly continuing to advance in the direction of Velyka Novosilka, taking up new positions in Ukrainian trench fortifications and in the treelines. Rozdolne is apparently being taken into a semi-encirclement.

Recent reports state that Russian forces have recaptured Nikolaevo Darino, in the western part of the Kursk salient.
