Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced in Velyka Novosilka, cutting off Ukrainian formations in the southern part of the town.

Russian forces advanced from positions in the eastern part of the town, linking up with the bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Mokri Yaly river, encircling Ukrainian formations who are holed up at the hospital and school.

Additionally, Russian forces advanced and captured most of the town centre, as well as the rest of the residential area east of the Kashlahach River, pushing the rest of Velyka Novosilka into the grey zone.

+ ~1.33km² in favour of Russia.

Ukraine’s casualties in Velyka Novosilka are unprecedented. I won’t share any of the videos as they are very gorey, but many have been killed both in the town and while trying to escape the encirclement.

The Ukrainian command is entirely to blame for this.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced in Western Donetsk Oblast, reaching the village of Sribne.

Russian forces advanced from their positions in the forest plantations on the low-lying ground and reached the road that connects Novoandriivka and Sribne. They were able to capture a treeline, and a forest plantation.

This will make future assault operations on Novoandriivka much easier, and will allow for Russian forces to enter Sribne, and then move on to the village of Zaporizhzhya.

+ ~1.39km² in favour of Russia.

A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces made a small advance in western Donetsk Oblast.

Russian forces advanced from positions at the initial bridgehead on the southern bank of the tributary of the Solona River, along a treeline, reaching the intersection with another treeline. This is the first step in outflanking Novoandriivka from the north, and coincides with movements further south, indicating an attempt to envelop the settlement.

Additionally, Russian forces advanced along the southern bank of a reservoir, capturing a forest plantation.

+ ~1.08km² in favour of Russia.

A recent report from a Ukrainian source indicates that Russian forces significantly advanced in western Donetsk Oblast and entered the village of Novooleksandrivka.

Russian forces advanced from positions south of Novovasylivka, up two treelines, levelling out the frontline, before attacking northwest through the low-lying ground, capturing a series of forest plantations. They were then able to infiltrate Novooleksandrivka, and take up positions in some of the houses in the southern part of the village.

Meanwhile, in Uspenivka, Russian forces marginally advanced, capturing the rest of the eastern street, as well as the central houses. While Ukrainian forces maintain a presence on the western street, the village is now in an operational encirclement, with only a small corridor between Novooleksandrivka and the Solona river remaining as a potential escape route.

+ ~6.82km² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced south of Udachne, and are bypassing the village.

Russian forces advanced from positions near the chalk mine, along a treeline, reaching the intersection with another treeline. From there, they moved further west to the northern bank of a lake, approaching the tract where they are attempting to gain a foothold.

+ ~5.93km² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces continued their advance on the eastern flank of Pokrovsk and reached the outskirts of the village of Zelene Pole.

Following the fall of Baranivka and the capture of the local heights west of the settlement, Russian forces advanced northwest to the low-lying ground, taking up positions on the southern side of a reservoir. They then advanced south, securing their flank and crossed over to the southern outskirts of Zelene Pole.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the western part of Kursk Oblast and reached the village of Sverdlikovo.

Russian forces advanced down the road from Nizhny Klin and landed troops in a forested area on the outskirts of Sverdlikovo. They also captured the treelines east and west of the road, securing their flanks against possible Ukrainian counterattacks.

Its official, the nearly 2-year long siege of the signal corps garrison in Khartoum city centre has been lifted by the Sudanese Armed Forces, following an offensive from the north.

The RSF’s strategic position in the capital has become significantly weakened.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office released a statement on Friday announcing that they will delay the withdrawal from southern Lebanon beyond the 60 days agreed in the ceasefire deal.

They claimed that the agreement has not yet been fully enforced by Lebanon. Al Jazeera, citing a source from the United Nations (UN) said that Israeli forces had withdrawn from large parts of the western and central areas of southern Lebanon but that they were preparing to retain positions in the east.

The eastern part of southern Lebanon is where some of the fiercest battles were fought with Hezbollah, especially in and around the fortress town of Khiyam, which Israel failed to capture before the ceasefire agreement, despite two separate attempts at offensive operations.

Hezbollah released a statement saying that any breach of the agreement would be "unacceptable".

The Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported on Friday that Israel was asking U.S. President Donald Trump’s new administration to extend the deadline, due to the Lebanese army deploying "too slowly to the south," which was apparently allowing for Hezbollah to regroup.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced in the salient west of Kurakhove.

Advances were made in two main directions here. In the south of the salient, Russian forces advanced from their positions on the northern bank of the Sukhi Yaly river, expanding their zone of control to include the rest of the treelines running south to north. They reached positions in a perpendicular treeline next to the low-lying ground, but are yet to establish control over it. As of now, I have put it in the grey zone, although one Russian source reports that Russian forces have captured it.

They also advanced west down a treeline, reaching the riverbank opposite the village of Zelenivka.

Meanwhile, directly west of Kurakhove, Russian forces made a small (but important) advance, entering the key village of Dachne from the north. Small groups of infantry moved along the highway and up into the fields, towards the Ukrainian positions in the north of the village, under the cover of fog. They had previously found Ukraine's weak spot in the defence, that being in the north. This spot is likely weaker than other defences as Ukraine probably didn't expect a Russian attack from over the Vovcha River, but failed to take into account a potential attack down the highway and through the fields, probably due to the riskiness of the maneuver and the difficulties that Russia would have in resupplying a foothold.

Nevertheless, Russian forces advanced and established a foothold. A Ukrainian source claimed that the Russians there were destroyed, although I am yet to view confirmation of this.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces indicate that Russian forces advanced in western Donetsk Oblast, and entered the southern part of Nadiivka.

Russian forces crossed the tributary of the Solona river, taking up positions in a treeline on its southern bank. From there, they entered the southeastern houses of Nadiivka, with the support of assault detachments advancing in the northern part of the village.

Fighting is currently ongoing for the central houses, while the rest of the village is in a grey zone (with the exception of the agricultural buildings on the northwestern outskirts).

+ ~0.35km² in favour of Russia.

A recent report from a reliable Ukrainian source indicates that Russian forces advanced in western Donetsk Oblast and completed the capture of Uspenivka.

Following a maneuver to the southwest of the village, which resulted in Russian forces establishing a foothold in the southeastern part of the village of Novooleksandrivka, therefore threatening the encirclement of Uspenivka, Ukrainian forces withdrew from Uspenivka to a treeline west of the village. From there they will likely withdraw further to the Novooleksandrivka in the near future.

+ ~0.85km² in favour of Russia.

A recent report from a Ukrainian source indicates that Russian forces marginally advanced in the village of Udachne in western Donetsk Oblast and have reached the railway station.

After a series of unsuccessful attempts to advance due to fierce Ukrainian resistance, Russian forces began making progress once again and have reached the railway station - a key Ukrainian stronghold inside the village.

Battles are ongoing, with the area currently being in a grey zone.

+ ~0.09km² in favour of Russia.

The final battles in the city of Toretsk are currently taking place on the territory of the Toretska mines. There is a small Ukrainian presence in a few blocks of houses nearby, but that likely won't last long.
