Ukraine has successfully delayed Russia's entry into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast by multiple months. If I were Ukraine, I'd be mass-constructing fortifications around Mezhova and Novopavlivka.

The Kursk salient is now approximately a third of the size of what it was compared to its maximum extent. ~410km² vs a little over 1200km².

Possible launches of Storm shadow cruise missiles in the southern direction. 6 Ukrainian Su-24s are currently airborne.

Rostov Oblast. Air defence is active over the city of Azov

Explosions in Slovyansk. Russian KAB glide bomb strikes.

Storm shadow launches were reported from aircraft over Donetsk Oblast.

Reports of 2 interceptions

It's kinda funny how Russians always give away the air defence positions every time there's a Ukrainian attack.

Anyone can geolocate that. It shows the difference in military-related censorship compared to Ukraine

Russian forces have captured the city of Toretsk.

Russian forces advanced in the Komar direction, securing the southern bank of the Mokri Yaly River.

They advanced from positions in the northern part of Velyka Novoislka, reaching the southern bank of the river, capturing the forest plantations there. They then went on to link up with the formations south of Novyi Komar.

This means that a buffer zone has effectively been established around Velyka novosilka, with the river adding an extra layer of protection. Rather than crossing the river, the main attack vector will probably come from Vremivka, up the western bank.

+ ~2.46km² in favour of Russia.

On the southern flank of Andriivka, Russian forces advanced in the direction of the village of Rozlyv, taking up new treeline positions.

The initial attacks most likely came from the two treelines running from south to north. Russian forces completed the capture of the northern end of one of the treelines which was already in the grey zone and captured the other one. They then advanced along the adjacent one running from east to west, where they reached the gulley that runs north up to the southwestern outskirts of Rozlyv.

+ ~3.33km² in favour of Russia.

Russian forces advanced on a wide front in the salient west of Kurakhove, expanding their zone of control to the north.

They advanced from positions along several treelines, pushing into the adjacent forest plantation that runs south of the gulley. This area was already in a grey zone, with one source reporting that this advance occurred around 6 days ago as a part of a larger advance in the same area.

Ukrainian forces will probably try to hold a defence north of the gulley on the high ground. Russia will probably try to push from their positions on the high ground southeast of Dachne, westwards towards the rear of the Ukrainian positions north of the gulley.

+ ~2.71km² in favour of Russia.

In the village of Andriivka, Russian forces made further progress in the eastern houses, pushing Ukraine towards the Orlova river.

Russian forces advanced from positions in the forest plantations on the outskirts, capturing a series of houses in the eastern part of the village. Ukrainian forces were pushed back towards the two streets north of the Orlova River, where they are attempting to prevent a Russian unification of the frontline.

If the fronts align here and all Russian formations are facing west and southwest, assault operations towards the centre of Andriivka will become much easier, subsequently forcing a Ukrainian withdrawal from the salient west of Kurakhove, which includes the village of Dachne.

+ ~0.42km² in favour of Russia.

Russian forces advanced in Toretsk, capturing the Toretska mines, therefore completing the capture of the city.

Ukrainian forces have been holding out in their last stronghold on the territory of the Toretska mines for some time now, and just recently, Russian forces advanced from their positions in the southern buildings, pushing Ukraine out. They also captured the small park to the east.

Ukraine still maintains a presence on the adjacent terykon, however this will likely fall in the near future.

+ ~0.24km² in favour of Russia.

Russian forces marginally advanced in Chasiv Yar, capturing important Ukrainian positions.

In the north, they advanced from positions in the low-rise residential area, capturing the Ukrainian stronghold in the stadium. In the south, the Russians advanced and captured two more 3-story buildings and have reached the city hospital no. 3.

These advances further squeeze the Ukrainian garrison out of the city centre as they continue to cling to every building.

+ ~0.07km² in favour of Russia.

Over the past couple of weeks, Russian forces have been advancing in the southeastern part of the Kursk salient, crossing the Psel river and establishing a strong bridgehead there.

Russian forces cleared the grey-zone area west of the village of Plekhovo, capturing the eastern bank of the Psel River. They then went on to cross the river, focusing on reaching the village of Guevo from the north. They reached the village, capturing the forests to the north and northeast, and stormed it multiple times. All attacks on the village were repelled by Ukrainian forces.

Russian forces then consolidated control over their positions in the forest and regrouped. More manpower was funneled into the bridgehead, with them turning their focus to the north in the direction of the village of Kurilovka, which is already contested. Russian forces advanced north from their positions in the forests, capturing more forest positions as well as a children's camp. Any remaining Ukrainian formations in the southern part of Kurilovka are now at risk of being encircled.

+ ~14.7km² in favour of Russia.
