Officials are now saying it was most likely machinery malfunctioning. Nothing related to North Korea or any potential sabotage it seems.

Russian air defence is active over Donetsk City. Ukraine is attacking the city with HIMARS MLRS again.

This is a big attack. Lot's of air defence activity, and lot's of rockets.

Air defence is also active over the neighbouring city of Makiivka.

9 HIMARS were launched. There are still 3 more that can be launched.

Locals reported explosions.

The missile danger is over

There are reports of HIMARS impacts in the Kalininskyi district of Donetsk City.

It was an oddly quiet night in Russia. Only one Ukrainian UAV was recorded in Russian airspace, and it was most likely destroyed.

Clarification of the situation in Dachenske.

Ukrainian forces maintain control over the intersection with the E50 highway to Pokrovsk.

They also control the houses north of the street that runs through the village, but have their backs against the Solonyi River.

According to a new map by @Suriyak_Maps, the rebel RSF forces have launched a decent-sized offensive in the Al-Jazirah state of Sudan. The attack took place from Dalmahidi and Al Sharif Yaequb. They were reportedly able to recapture Wad Al-Abyad, Mahila, Karjaba, Umm Al-Qura, Babanusa & the villages 33, 34 & 36 thus reversing the recent SAF advances on this front.

The SAF was previously advancing towards the key city and logistical hub of Wad Mani. The RSF obviously realises the strategic importance of Wad Mani, and are throwing whatever they can at maintaining a buffer-zone around the city.

The recapture of Wad Mani would risk encircling RSF troops who are attacking towards the city of Sennar to try to reconnect with the cut off RSF troops in the Sennar, White Nile and Blue Nile states, and could also help roll back the frontline north along the Blue nile river towards the capital Khartoum.

Possible scenarios:

Update from Chasiv Yar.

Both sides are reportedly making progress in the city. Ukraine was apparently able to complete the capture of the main building in the refractory plant, pushing the Russians to the smaller, less defended buildings.

Meanwhile, Russian forces have reportedly bypassed the plant, capturing more residential streets in the northern part of the city.

Extremely heavy fighting continues between RSF and SAF soldiers in the Sudanese city of Omdurman (opposite the capital Khartoum).

The SAF has been on the offensive here for months and is slowly retaking the city, block by block.

Ukrainian HIMARS are now targeting Horlivka. Russian air defence is active.

Reports suggest that at least 5 Israeli soldiers were killed in Northern Gaza last night. 3 were reportedly killed in a stabbing operation by the Al-Qassam brigades, where Hamas fighters entered an Israeli occupied building and apparently were able to free several detainees. Additionally, 2 other Israeli soldiers were reportedly killed in a "security incident" in Jabalia.

New ISW cope just dropped

A Houthi ballistic missile was launched at Tel Aviv. Israeli media reports that it was intercepted over Jerusalem.
