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On the eastern axis, the RSF has withdrawn over the Rahad river (which is a tributary of the Blue Nile River) after losing the battle for the Wad Al-Mahidi Bridge.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.

Reaction by a Ukrainian...

Russian forces have reportedly significantly expanded their bridgehead on the western bank of the Zherebets river in northern Donetsk Oblast, capturing positions in the forests and treelines.

A reliable source reported that Russian forces have captured the village of Neskuchne, southwest of Velyka Novosilka.

Neskuchne is/was the last village that Ukraine recaptured during their 2023 counteroffensive that Russia had yet to retake.

Germany has purchased 30 M-84A4 tanks from Croatia for Ukraine. These tanks are essentially modernised T-72s with better optics and electronics. They are also Soviet tanks meaning the AFU has more ammunition and likely more experience and trained personal for usage of these tanks, at least compared to the NATO tanks they operate.

🇪🇬 — Egyptian Foreign Minister:

Red Sea security is the sole responsibility of the countries bordering it.

Over the past hour, numerous explosions were reported in Kostyantynivka, Donetsk Oblast. It is possible that these strikes are targeting the HIMARS launchers which targeted Donetsk city and Svitlodarsk yesterday.

Israeli and Palestinian sources report that an explosive device detonation, followed by the firing of an anti-tank shell killed 2 Israeli soldiers and seriously wounded 2 others inside a tunnel in an unspecified part of the Gaza Strip.

Evacuation helicopters were seen transporting the dead and wounded to the Assuta Hospital in Ashdod and the Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

According to reports from a Pro-SAF source, the Sudanese Armed forces have broken through in the Al Jazirah state and entered the city of Wad Madani. They also reportedly established a bridgehead on the western bank of the Blue Nile River.

In short, the battle for Wad Madani has begun, and the situation for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is dire, with the city in an operational encirclement and on the brink of being physically cut off.

The capture of Wad Madani will arguably be the biggest SAF victory in the entire war.
