Russian forces have reportedly continued to make significant progress in the bridgehead on the western bank of the Zherebets river, and are apparently bypassing the village of Kolodyazi, taking up positions in the forests and treelines north of the village.

They also reportedly made a small advance northwest of Yampolivka, getting close to cutting off the Ukrainian supply line to the village over the Zherebets River.

Russian forces have reportedly advanced in central Chasiv Yar, completing the capture of the refractory plant. They also reportedly advanced into the buildings in the city centre, reaching the administrative building.

Russian forces are reportedly storming the village of Guevo in the southeastern part of the Kursk salient. There are reports of extensive airstrikes on Ukrainian positions in the village as infantry move in.

Results of the Russian MLRS attack on Slovyansk yesterday. A Ukrainian troop concentration was hit north of the city.

1 Russian Kalibr-carrier is currently conducting training in the waters of the Black Sea. Others will likely follow, but this does not indicate an impending Russian missile strike.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly counterattacked in the southern Oskil bridgehead, recapturing the village of Zahryzove.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly counterattacked in the Andriivka direction, recapturing the area between Andriivka and Shevchenko, and establishing a solid buffer-zone east of Andriivka.

At the same time, Russian forces are advancing from the north, and if this Ukrainian advance is true, it will get hit on the northern flank in the near future once those forests fall.

The Iranian Embassy in Kabul has announced that Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is set to imminently visit Afghanistan, making it the first trip by a high-ranking Iranian official to Afghanistan since the Taliban's takeover in 2021.

Al-Qassam brigades fighters (the armed wing of Hamas) are now engaged in battles with the IDF in Jenin (West Bank), with reports of them using machine guns, small-arms and IEDs.

Regarding the situation in Udachne.

Heavy fighting continues for the village. Despite reports of successful Ukrainian counterattacks, a reliable Ukrainian source reported that Russian forces are continuing their advance towards the railway station in the centre of the village.

Nevertheless, the Ukrainian command understands the importance of this village due to it being the gateway to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and an important staging ground for future attacks to further outflank and envelope Pokrovsk from the west. Therefore, Ukraine is putting up extremely fierce resistance here, especially in the northern streets of the village, where Russia has been unable to advance for days.

However, forward progress has picked up again east of Udachne, with the ventilation shaft of the Kotlyne mines, as well as further treeline positions being occupied. Ukraine seems to have withdrawn to a thin buffer-zone east of the Pivdennodonbaska coking plant, north of Udachne.

The loss of Kotlyne has certainly begun to show its effects, and we will undoubtedly see further Russian progress in the direction of the Coking plant and the village of Hryshyne (where the Pavlohrad - Pokrovsk highway runs just south of) in the near future.

After several hours of fighting, the Houthis have reportedly captured the town of Al-Jabara from the Saudi-backed coalition forces in the Ad-Dali direction of Yemen.

This is the first major change on this section of the frontline in years.

⚡️AFP quoting the Governor of Jenin, Kamal Abu Al Rub: “Hundreds of Palestinians leave Jenin camp in northern West Bank, in compliance with Israeli army orders… The situation is very difficult.”

“The occupation army has bulldozed all the roads leading to Jenin camp and to the Jenin government hospital... There is shooting and explosions,” he added, referring to the Israeli military.

The commander of Hamas' Beit Hanoun battalion, Hussein Fayyad has been found alive.

On May 24, 2024, the IDF claimed that he had been killed in a tunnel, but after 8 months, he has reappeared, delivering a speech to Gazans.

Repeated explosions have been reported in Hryshyne since this morning. This is likely the result of significantly increased artillery and MLRS shelling.

Approximate situation in Velyka Novosilka.

Contrary to previous reports, Ukrainian forces still maintain a presence in southern Velyka Novosilka, in and around the hospital. However, the formations here are either encircled, or about to be encircled. If there is an escape route, it is in the grey zone.

Ukraine's main presence remains in the north of the town, but there is currently no organised defence.

Multiple sources reported that Russian forces advanced in the Malaya Loknya direction of Kursk Oblast, entering and consolidating positions on the outskirts of the Viktorovka.

Russian forces have reportedly advanced in western Donetsk Oblast and entrenched themselves in positions in the southeastern outskirts of Sribne.

If true, I wouldn't expect the battle for Novoandriivka to last long.

A Belarusian delegation arrived in Syria to meet the head of Syria's new government, Ahmed al-Sharaa.

The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement saying that "We are ready to support the Syrian side in its efforts with the international community to lift the restrictions imposed through sanctions."

Frontline correction: It turns out, Russia does not have a foothold on the overpass of the Pokrovsk - Kostyantynivka highway, and are instead attempting to attack towards it, but are being repulsed by Ukrainian defenders.

Russian forces have begun bypassing the village of Udachne from the south and are approaching the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. There is a relatively large grey-zone, and fighting is ongoing. They have already captured important positions. Battles for Novoserhiivka (the last village before Dnipropetrovsk Oblast) might begin in the next couple of days.
