Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the northern part of the Kursk salient, completing the capture of Russkoe Porochnoe.

After it became clear that the Ukrainian "counteroffensive" near Berdin wasn't going to have the strength necessary to cut off the Russians in Russkoe Porochnoe and the surrounding areas, Russia restarted assault operations in the village and completed the capture of it by pushing south.

From there, Russian infantry launched attacks on the western flank, forming a buffer zone around the western part of the village and taking up positions in the forests. They were also able to advance into the northern houses of Kositsa and take up positions there.

It has become clear that the goal of the Russians is to attempt to encircle and cut off the Ukrainians in Malaya Loknya and its satellite villages, rather than storming it head-on.

+ ~3.36km² in favour of Russia

Geolocated footage and reports from reliable sources indicate that Russian forces continue to advance in Toretsk and have also made progress to the west of the city.

In Toretsk itself, Russia advanced in two main directions. To the east, the Russians were able to seize Terykon #10 and raised their flag over it. This suggests that the rest of the houses behind it are now in the grey zone.

Further west, Russian forces advanced to the northwestern-most city limits, capturing the warehouses and the rest of that part of the residential area.

And to the west of Toretsk, Russia was able to cross the Kryvyi Torets River and entered the village of Novospaske, taking up positions in its eastern houses.

+ ~0.73km² in favour of Russia.

The Ukrainian general staff has stopped mentioning the "Kurakhove" and "Vremivka" directions in their daily reports on frontline activities and has instead combined them into the "Novopavlivka direction". Novopavlivka is a settlement in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

This marks the first time that the Ukrainian general staff has acknowledged that active hostilities could soon exit Donetsk Oblast and enter Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

The fire at the oil/jet fuel depot in the city of Engels in Saratov Oblast has now entered it's fourth day, following a Ukrainian drone strike this week.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces continue to incrementally advance on the western flank of Pokrovsk.

Russian infantry was able to advance down two forest plantations and reach the territory of a chalk mine. From there, they advanced into the mine and seized a foothold there. The rest of it is in the grey zone.

+ ~0.96km² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports by reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced in the Andriivka direction.

The main advance was made in the north. The salient that has been forming for just over a week was closed after Russian forces began storming it. They were able to advance from positions near Zorya and captured several treelines. This will further degrade the defences of the northern flank of Andriivka

Further south, a much smaller advance was made where Russian forces advanced down a road from Shevchenko, towards the eastern outskirts of Andriivka, capturing a forested area and a small forest plantation.

+ ~12.5km² in favour of Russia.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces advanced on the western flank of Velyka Novosilka.

After forming a salient southeast of the village of Novosilka, Russia was able to close it, likely by attacking from their pincers, forcing a Ukrainian withdrawal to the north. Ukraine has probably set up a buffer zone around Novosilka, preparing for the defence of the village from future Russian assault operations.

This advance further strengthens the Russian western flank of Velyka Novosilka and could be the cause for wider flanking maneuvers in the area.

+ ~3.81km² in favour of Russia.

1 Russian Su-57 is airborne in Kursk Oblast. There is a threat of Kh-59/69 cruise missiles.

Lately, some people have been asking me how to access my interactive Ukraine map which I post updates of every day. You can always access it from the link in my pinned tweet on X. Once clicking on it, it will automatically share the map with you, meaning that you can quickly access it from the google my maps home page, by sorting maps by "owned by anyone" or "not owned by me".

This map is updated multiple times per day and holds the latest information available. It is designed to be as accurate as physically possible.

You can also access an interactive control map for most conflicts in The Middle East in that same pinned tweet.

Also, a reminder, I have an X account where everything on telegram is posted. It's https://x.com/AMK_Mapping_.

Here is the link to the Ukraine control map if you want to access it from here:

If you have any questions, ask me in the comments or DM me.

2 Su-57s conducted a launch maneuver. Cruise missiles are expected in Ukrainian airspace shortly.

They're returning to their air base. No missiles have been observed yet.

If there is nothing in the next 4 minutes, the launches were simulated.

Missile recorded in Sumy Oblast

1 cruise missile in the direction of Konotop, Sumy Oblast.

Confirmed to be a Kh-59/69

Three Kh-59/69 cruise missiles fly further into Chernihiv Oblast.

All three missiles did a U-turn towards Bakhmach and disappeared, possibly hitting open areas.

Update from Sudan - Wad Madani axis:

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) are continuing their rapid pace of advance in the Al -Jazirah state, and have reduced the distance between them and the key Rapid support forces (RSF) controlled city of Wad Madani to just 7 km.

On the eastern axis, the RSF has withdrawn over the Rahad river (which is a tributary of the Blue Nile River) after losing the battle for the Wad Al-Mahidi Bridge. This will strengthen their defences in the south, where the SAF is trying to advance between the two rivers, in the direction of the town of Al-Danagla, where the RSF is currently entrenched and preparing for defence.

Once these two axes join together, the assault on Wad Madani from the east will begin, but first they will need to capture the village of Al-Aribab, which is the last settlement between the SAF and the city.

Meanwhile on the western axis, the SAF continues to advance through the countryside and captured the village of Warraq and advanced towards the Beka bridge. The village of Beka is one of the last settlements separating the SAF from Wad Madani on the western axis. The RSF has set up positions here and is preparing to defend against the advancing SAF forces.
