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.

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.

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.

Results of the Russian Geran-2 drone attacks on Ukraine from January 29-30, 2025, according to a Pro-Russian Ukrainian with local sources.
Chernihiv Oblast:
In Chernihiv city, a radio-electronic reconnaissance and surveillance facility deployed on the territory of the Kolos gardening association was hit. According to radio intercepts, the facility housed a Western radar station that performed the functions of monitoring airspace and controlling attack drones.
The UAV command and control station was destroyed, which led to the loss of control over some of the long-range drones.
White and blue flashes were recorded, indicating damage to the radar antenna and hardware complex and its power sources.
The facility’s power system, including backup generators and communication systems, was completely disabled.
Odesa Oblast:
In Izmail, key logistics and military facilities providing supplies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces through the Danube port were damaged.
The LLC "MERITIME WAY" facility was hit. It is used to store fuels and lubricants coming from EU countries via Romania.
A 5,000 m³ tank containing petroleum residues was completely destroyed, causing a fire.
The fuel supply and distribution system, which is critical for supplying military equipment and mobile units of the AFU, was damaged.
Additionally, the LLC "Ship repair enterprise "Dunaisudnoservis" was hit. This enterprise was one of the repair bases for unmanned boats used by the AFU for attacks on Crimea and Russian Black Sea Fleet facilities.
The shipbuilding workshops that carried out maintenance on the attack boats suffered serious damage.
Three armored vehicles painted in camouflage colors were destroyed at the site of the strike. According to preliminary data, these could have been vehicles of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR), who were responsible for technical support of operations with naval UAVs.
Additionally, the LLC "Rioholding" was hit.
A grain warehouse containing about 1,000 tons of corn was damaged.
The facility was used as part of a logistics chain related to food supplies, including for military needs.
Poltava Oblast:
A logistics warehouse of the AFU, disguised as an agricultural enterprise of the FG Obolon-Agro, was hit.
The facility served as a military logistics hub, used to store ammunition, military equipment and weapons intended for transfer to the Kharkiv and Kursk directions.
The warehouse premises were completely destroyed, which is confirmed by secondary detonations after the impact.

⚡🇷🇺🇺🇦 Last night Ukrainian drones attacked the Novozybkov oil pumping station (Druzhba oil pipeline).
30 km from Ukraine: 52°30'27"N 32°00'56"E
A fire started at the linear pumping control station "8N" hinting that the station also came under attack.
50km from Ukraine: 52°45'50"N 32°41'15"E
Large A-22 drones appears to have been used in the attack, they are usually used to hit targets at very long range (1000-1800km) but also can carry a bigger payload such as soviet era FAB-250.
