—❗️🇺🇸/🇱🇧/🇮🇱 NEW: The United States and the Lebanese Government announce that the ceasefire will be extended by 3 weeks, until February 18th, and that all Israeli forces must withdraw from Lebanon before this deadline

A lot of misinformation is being spread about Goma right now. There are claims of M23 forces patrolling the city. That is false, these are pro-government forces.

Additionally, the surrender of hundreds of possible government forces in the city centre does not mean that M23 has captured the city. They have simply given up fighting and laid down their arms to Uruguayan peacekeepers.

Gunfire can still be heard across most of Goma. It appears that the city has not fallen yet, despite claims by M23 that they captured it.

Ukraine, primarily Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil and
Khmelnytskyi Oblasts. Power outages were
reported in Ivano-Frankivsk City.

This map does not include artillery shelling and MLRS related explosions, hence the lack of icons near the frontline.

Depending on how much information is available, I'm gonna try to make one of these each day
