3 Tu-95s took off from Ukrainka airbase in Amur Oblast, eastern Russia. Not a combat flight, but they are probably redeploying west to Engels-2 airbase, possibly to be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.

I've noticed that lately Russia has been shifting more and more of their aircraft from their eastern airbases (espcecially Ukrainka) to their western airbases (Especially Engels-2 and Olenya).

This is most likely related to the War in Ukraine and an increased usage of Kh-101 missiles.

A 4th Tu-95 just took off from Ukrainka airbase. This looks like a big redeployment.

New reports and footage suggest that HTS has significantly advanced in Aleppo, taking control of the Aleppo University complex, the Jabriyeh and the Sheik Fares districts and have entered the Al-Sakhour district.

This map is very rough. The main concentration of SAA forces are in the Sheikh Masoud district in the north of the city, which HTS is reportedly already attacking.

In a new statement, locals in the Palestinian refugee camp of Al-Nayrab said that HTS militants have entered the camp. They reportedly waved the white flag and declared total neutrality to "avoid the spread of fighting."

They apparently made an agreement with HTS involving the removal of Assadist symbols and country flags of the Syrian Arab Republic, and the replacement of these with white flags. In return, security will be given to the camp.

For now, I will put the camp in a grey zone, but it does indicate that the southeastern suburbs of Aleppo have fallen under HTS control.

What's next?

As soon as you don't like something someone says, try to dox them. - NAFO ... probably.

Violent clashes continue in the town of Tadif, Northeast of Aleppo. The SNA is continuing to attack here in an attempt to encircle SAA forces north of Aleppo. So far, no advances have been confirmed, but I have decided to put the town in a grey zone for now.

Very slow news from Ukraine.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have advanced on the eastern flank of Velyka Novosilka, and captured the village of Rozdolne.

This advance is likely around 5 days old, as the first reports of the fall of this settlement came out then.

Once they captured the treelines to the south and east of Rozdolne, the Russians were able to gain a foothold in the outer houses. They then expanded this foothold, clearing houses and basements as they went until they reached the western part of the village.

Ukrainian forces withdrew from the village but reportedly maintained fire control over the western houses from their trench fortifications to the west, preventing Russia from fully securing it. However, once assault operations on these trenches began, the village fell entirely under Russian control. A Russian unit flag was raised over the school building shortly afterwards.

+ 10.2km² in favour of Russia

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in Terny, capturing most of the village.

After a series of Ukrainian counterattacks, Russia was able to regain the initiative and push into the centre of the village down each of the three streets.

Additionally, a Russian convoy was able to advance from one of the gulleys to the east of Terny, with infantry seizing the forests and the agricultural buildings.

Ukraine responded by firing several FPV drones at Russian armoured vehicles damaging and destroying three. A grenade was drone-dropped on one of these. Russian infantry was also targeted by drone-dropped grenades and FPV drones.

+ ~4.55km² in favour of Russia.

Pro-HTS media claimed that following the capture of the city of Saraqib, HTS captured the town of Kafr Amim and the village of Rasafah, on the Idlib front.

The SAA has reportedly withdrawn from areas north of Aleppo, with the SDF taking up positions in their wake. Meanwhile, the SNA has begun making some progress, apparently capturing the settlements of Toman, Abu Taltal, and Al-Shumawiya, all of which are south of Al-bab.
