The death toll from an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Beit Lahiya, Northern Gaza has reportedly risen to 21.

This comes as Israeli forces intensify their airstrikes and artillery shelling across the Gaza Strip.

The IDF reported that two more rockets launched from central Gaza were intercepted by Israeli air defence. It's not often these days that we see multiple rockets fired by Hamas in a single day.

Interestingly, there have been no Russian Geran-2 drone launches for two days in a row. This is the longest Ukraine has gone without Gerans for at least 6 months.

A Russian soldier fighting in the Shevchenko area reported that Ukraine has transferred around two battalions to reinforce this direction.

The map below shows my best guess of the main areas that they were sent to.

A reliable source reported that Russian forces have expanded their remaining bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskil river and have advanced further into Dvorichna.

They were apparently able to take up new positions in the southern residential area of the town and are now firing at the Palistina micro-district which Ukraine has reportedly fortified.

The US State Department has approved the sale of F-16 sustainment equipment to Ukraine with an estimated cost of $266.4 million.

Included in this transfer are the following:
- Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS).
- AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loaders (SKL).
- minor modifications and maintenance support.
- engine Component Improvement Program (CIP).
- spare and repair parts, consumables, and accessories
- repair and return support.
- weapons software, weapons software support equipment, and classified and unclassified software and delivery support.
- classified and unclassified publications and documentation.
- personnel training and training equipment
- studies and surveys.
- U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services.
- Other related elements of logistics and program support.

Sudanese Air Force aircraft launched a series of air strikes across several towns in the rebel RSF-controlled Darfur region of Sudan.

In one instance in Kabkabiya, Northern Darfur, a fighter jet dropped five bombs on the town's market, reportedly killing at least 100 and wounding more than 50 others. This town has repeatedly been targeted with airstrikes in the past.

This comes as the SAF is intensifying their air strike campaign against RSF controlled villages.

Palestinian sources report that Israeli forces have begun demolishing residential buildings in the Rafah refugee camp (yellow circle) once again. They start off by detonated remote controlled explosive robots in the neighborhoods before D9 military bulldozers are deployed to raze them to the ground. Some buildings are burnt too.

Meanwhile, it appears that remnants of Hamas' Rafah battalions still operate in the city from time to time. Continuous Israeli artillery shelling occurs in the central and northern neighborhoods of the city, while every now and then an RPG will be fired or small-arms weapons will be used.

It's safe to say that Rafah is yet to be cleared, however Hamas has been devastated here. I doubt Israel intends on fully clearing Rafah but instead plans to expand their Philadelphi corridor in order to have full surveillance over the area to eliminate any remnants of Hamas.

A Russian Su-34 is airborne, presumably in the Sea of Azov. There is a threat of Kh-59/Kh-69 cruise missile launches.

No missiles. They are launching KAB glide bombs at Zaporizhzhia/Kherson Oblast.

Never mind, missile launches are reported.

Two Kh-59s in the direction of Kamianske/Dnipro

Air defence is active in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Expect explosions soon.

One is headed for Pavlohrad, the other is flying to Dnipro/Kamianske.

Explosions in Dnipro

There were two explosions in the suburbs of Dnipro. The missile that was flying to Pavlohrad flew back to Dnipro.

The Su-34s return in the direction of Akhtubinsk airbase in Astrakhan Oblast.

The IDF has announced new evacuation orders for parts of central Gaza (red polygon).

The areas include part of the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, and areas east of Al-Zawaida and north of Al-Masdar village. Civilians have been ordered to evacuate to Deir Al Balah city.

Interestingly, most of the area that has been ordered to evacuate is a part of the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone (yellow polygon), which Israel claims it won't target.

In my opinion, this area is likely being evacuated due to the presence of Hamas rocket launchers, as last night 4 rockets were launched from central Gaza towards Israel.

Last week, evacuation orders were issued for the northern suburbs of Khan Younis, also apparently due to the presence of Hamas rocket launchers.

Somalia appears to have entered a new phase of its civil war as heavy fighting is reported by regional officials between Government and Jubaland forces in the southern part of the country. Each side has accused the other of starting the fight.

Jubaland security officials claimed that dozens of government soldiers have surrendered during the clashes so far. There are also reports of drones being used.

This comes as the Somali government sent additional troops to the town of Raskamboni, south of Jubaland State B last week amid rising tensions with Juabland's leadership over the legality of a recent election which led to the re-election of President Madobe.

Jubaland reportedly cut off telephone services in the vicinity of Raskamboni and reinforced its security personnel in the area before the battles broke out.

For those who don't know much about the situation in Somalia, the government of Somalia is backed by Turkey and western nations in Somalia's fight against the terrorist organisation Al Shabaab, while Jubaland - a semi-autonomous state of Somalia - is Pro-Ethiopia.

Russian forces reportedly crossed the Oskil river and entered the village of Senkove. It is unclear if they were able to gain a foothold or not.

A new report states that Russian forces have advanced into Dachne, and established control of around half of the village. Originally, there were reports of assault operations on the livestock farm in the south of the village. If this report is true, it would indicate that Russian forces have captured this, and some of the eastern houses.

Ukraine is apparently putting up more resistance than usual here but is still being forced to slowly retreat towards the highway.
