Egypt has announced that it will host an emergency Arab League summit on February 27, at the request of the State of Palestine (ran by the Palestinian Authority), to discuss the "new and dangerous developments for the Palestinian cause", referring to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent proposal to resettle Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and to transfer ownership of Gaza to the U.S.
Both Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Jordanian King Abdullah II dismissed Trump's call to resettle approximately 1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza, and for the U.S. to gain administration of the strip.

Approximately 2 thirds of Khartoum’s metropolitan area is now under control of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), following recent rapid advances.
The Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) position in the rest of the city is becoming increasingly untenable after the SAF reaching the city limits from the south, threatening the encirclement of the RSF in the southern suburbs against the eastern bank of the Nile River.

I probably won't cover the missile strikes today, as I will be busy, and I honestly don't enjoy tracking them as much as I used to.

Times have changed for me in my life, and I have opportunities which I didn't have before. That doesn't necessarily mean I will stop covering things like missiles, but I'm at a place right now where I am happy with just doing my maps and general reports, while enjoying some more time away from reporting.

Correction of the frontline in favour of Ukraine:
On the border between Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts, Ukrainian forces - at some point - regained positions in the low-lying ground west of the village of Novodarivka.
They were able to retake positions in a treeline, as well as three separate forest plantations, and are now around 1 km from the western part of Novodarivka.
+ ~2.23km² in favour of Ukraine.
