Ukrainian HIMARS impacted Donetsk City a short while ago.

Keep an eye on the Zherebets river bridgehead at Ivanivka (Lyman direction). It's expanding rapidly, and if it can be supplied well in the near future, it could bloom outwards to the next villages.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced west of Kurakhove and captured the Kurakhove dam.

Russian forces advanced south from positions in Stari Terny, and captured the two land bridges on either side of the reservoir where the dam is situated. The capture of these positions will make the assault on Dachne much easier.

Additionally, Russian forces advanced in the forest plantations east of Dachne, reaching the eastern houses of the village.

+ ~2.84km² in favour of Russia.

An explosion was reported in Kazan and a fire has broken out. There were Ukrainian drones in the skies of the region at the time.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces advanced in the Andriivka direction.

After establishing positions in the treelines west of Slovyanka, Russian forces began assault operations on the nearby forest plantations. First, they pushed the Ukrainians out of the treeline perpendicular to the forest plantations. They then pushed down these forest plantations which are situated in the low-lying ground, while securing the first parts of two treelines that branch off it, somewhat protecting their northern flank.

+ ~1.32km² in favour of Russia.

A recent report from a reliable Ukrainian source indicates that Russian forces advanced in Udachne and are approaching the railway station.

Russian forces advanced from their foothold in the southern residential area and pushed west down one street, reaching an intersection with a small street. All of the houses on these two streets were captured. Fighting is now ongoing for the houses outside the railway station. Once the railway station falls, the road will be open to capture the village centre and then the rest of the village.

+ ~0.26km² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced on the western flank of Pokrovsk, and completed the capture of the village of Kotlyne.

After establishing a foothold in the first street of the northern part of the village, Russian forces advanced further without encountering much resistance. This was likely because another attack was unfolding to the north, where - as expected - Russian forces advanced from positions in the Kotlyne mines, down a treeline, to the rear of Ukrainian positions, likely forcing a Ukrainian withdrawing from the settlement.

+ ~1.07km² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in northern Toretsk, capturing part of the Toretska mines.

After establishing a foothold in the first buildings of the complex, Russian forces continued assault operations north, taking up positions in the next buildings. These mines are the last major Ukrainian stronghold in Toretsk city, meaning that the AFU will most likely fight for them for as long as possible.

+ ~0.06km² in favour of Russia.

The cope is real

Geolocated footage and recent reports from reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced in the Lyman direction, significantly expanding their bridgehead on the western bank of the Zherebets River.

Russian forces advanced in three main directions here. In the north, they advanced from positions in northern Ivanivka, and captured a series of forest plantations. Russia also gained a foothold on a treeline. If they can advance further up this treeline, it will allow them to increase their presence on the tactical heights, although this might be done with an attack from the south depending on Ukraine's defensive situation.

Further south, Russian forces advanced in two forested areas, capturing both of them. They are now approaching the low-lying ground. If they can advance further south, up onto the next set of heights, Russia may be able to bypass the Ukrainian stronghold settlement of Yampolivka.

Meanwhile in Terny, Russian forces completed the capture of the village, advancing to the southernmost houses of the village.

+ ~7.03km² in favour of Russia.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces expanded their bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskil river.

Advances were made in two main directions. In the south, Russian forces cleared Ukrainian positions in the town centre of Dvorichna, which Ukrainian forces had previously been fortifying.

Further north, Russia captured the rest of the Dibrivka neighbourhood and captured a forest.

+ ~1.24km² in favour of Russia.

The ceasefire in Gaza seems to be holding up for the most part. There were a couple of instances of Israeli gunfire from armoured vehicles reported, and some sporadic small-arms fire at the Netzarim corridor, but apart from that, no fighting has occurred for nearly a day.

There are unconfirmed reports of clashes between the Military Operations Command (likely the SNA) and the YPG/PKK in northeastern Syria.

It is reported that the Military Operations Command is advancing on the Tall-Tamr axis towards the city of Hasakah, while clashes with possible advances are apparently ongoing at the Euphretes river near the villages of Darnaj and Al-Asharah.

Earlier, U.S. military aircraft were patrolling this same frontline.

Additionally, this video reportedly shows a Turkish military convoy entering Tell Abyad in SNA-controlled northeast Syria.

A few hours ago, an IED exploded under an Israeli military vehicle in the West Bank town of Tamoun, south of the city of Tubas. Israeli media reports that 4 Israeli soldiers were injured, including one seriously. Blood was photographed by locals on a street in the town, and an Israeli evacuation helicopter arrived to evacuate the wounded to a hospital, probably in Tel Aviv.
