5 Tu-95ms departed from Engels-2 airbase in Saratov Oblast. They are probably equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles and redeploying to Olenya airbase.

The activity of Ukrainian aircraft has significantly increased in the past hours. 4 MiG-29s were recorded in Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts. There is a threat of storm shadow missiles launches for Kursk.

Additionally, two MiG-29s are in Kherson Oblast. There is a threat of Storm Shadow missiles for Crimea.

The missile threat in Crimea ended. No launches were carried out.

The moment a Russian Iskander Ballistic missile struck Zaporizhzhia city.

In an interview with the Turkish-broadcaster NTV, The Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan stated that the elimination of the Kurdish YPG/SDF was Turkey's "strategic target" and urged the group's commanders to leave Syria.

Israeli forces continued to advance in Southern Syria and took over new territory in the Damascus and Qunetria governorates.

Israeli tanks were able to occupy the village of Mazraat Beit Jin and advanced east down the road to Beit Jinn, reaching the outskirts of this settlement.

Further north, they advanced southeast down the road to Mughr al-meer, occupying this village too.

All of this was once again done without any resistance.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the Pokrovsk direction and captured the village of Novotroitske.

After seizing all of the village on the eastern bank of the tributary of the Solona river, Russian forces crossed it and eliminated the Ukrainian presence in the western houses of the village. They then went further and advance down the two treelines west of Novotroitske, before branching off and taking up positions on the adjacent treeline.

+ ~3.38km² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces made a small advance in Kurakhove, entering the city centre from another direction.

Russian forces were able to capture two more blocks of residential houses, before advancing into the high-rise buildings in the city centre, taking up positions in 4 more high-rise buildings and a school.

+ ~0.12km² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in Vovchansk.

They were able to advance from northern outskirts, into the ruins of the northern residential area, seizing the Vovchansk Cemetary as well as the surrounding buildings. They then spearheaded south, taking up positions in a building east of the city centre.

Ukrainian forces then responded by using what appeared to be a chemical weapon on that building. A shell was fired, after which a white cloud began rising which apparently contained toxic substances. One Russian source reported that Russian soldiers suffered from coughing, dizziness and general weakness.

+ ~0.44km² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continue to advance in the eastern part of the Kursk salient.

Here, they were able to advance from positions near the railway tracks towards the village of Kurilovka. They were able to take up positions in two houses on the eastern outskirts.

However, to advance further, they will need to go uphill onto the tactical heights that Ukraine holds. This is due to the presence of a few rivers and swamps in the areas where the Russians advanced, meaning that further progress will probably be difficult.

Additionally, the village of Kurilovka also lies in the low-lying ground, meaning that Ukrainian forces can maintain fire control over it from the tactical heights to the west, which will make it difficult for the Russians to accumulate manpower in it for future assault operations.

+ ~0.79km² in favour of Russia.

Ukrainian forces are likely beginning to withdraw from the salient near Pushkine towards the village of Novoolenivka. This will make assault operations on Novoolenivka much easier for Russia.

Around $5.6 billion worth of PDA now remains available to Biden without requiring congressional approval.

1 Russian Tu-160 departed from Engels-2 airbase in Saratov Oblast during the night, probably for redeployment to Olenya Airbase in Murmansk Oblast. If it did redeploy and wasn't just conducting training, then it would mean that just 1 Tu-160 remains at Engels-2 airbase, which is probably under maintenance. This same Tu-160 that departed last night likely conducted training from Engels-2 airbase a couple of days ago, which could suggest that it's conducting training again, but in my opinion - considering the fact that the channel that reported on it doesn't often talk about training missions - it has probably been redeployed to Olenya airbase. It's also possible that it was equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles as Engels-2 airbase is the main airbase for missile equipment.

According to the exiled National Unity Government's MoD, more than 149 Junta soldiers were killed in the southern regions of Myanmar alone during November. This comes as rebel factions continue to make progress on several fronts against the Junta, capturing military outposts, hilltop bases and entering new towns and villages.

The commander of the Jenin brigade was killed in small-arms battles with the Palestinian authority in Jenin. This is arguably the largest escalation in tensions between the Palestinian Authority and the different resistance factions in the West Bank since the PA's creation.

Meanwhile, violent clashes continue in both Jenin and Tulkarm, with multiple explosions reported.

MiG-31K airborne. It can carry the Kinzhal hypersonic missile.

There is also a threat of Ballistics from Voronezh Oblast.
