An air raid alert was declared in Kyiv.

"Ceased to exist within Chernihiv Oblast". It might have been shot down.

Three Russian Recon drones are hovering above Sumy Oblast. The locations on the map are approximate.

Another missile in Sumy Oblast, heading west.

The Recon drones are obviously correcting the strikes.

The Kh-59 is roughly 50km east of Nizhyn.

There were three launches in total.

They passed over Nizhyn and are heading for Kyiv.

They are heading for Vyshhorod.

They were likely shot down.

The Houthis recently published a video showing the targeting of the oil tanker "Chios Lion" in the Red Sea with an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV).

The Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that this latest Houthi military operation was a response to the Israeli airstrike on Khan Yunis (in the Gaza strip) which- according to the Gaza health ministry - killed at least 90 people and wounded 300 others.

In Libya, gun battles broke out in the suburb of Tagiura (in the east of the capital Tripoli) between different brigades of the Tripolitanian army. An artillery shell was also fired at a trailer company

So far 2 deaths have been reported, including 1 civilian.

These clashes come just one day before Tripoli is set to host the International Migration Forum, which will see participation from international and regional figures.

To quote the "Libya Review": "The clashes highlight the fragile security situation in Libya, where various factions continue to fight for dominance in the absence of a strong central government. The persistent violence in Tajoura is symptomatic of the broader instability plaguing the country, which has struggled to establish a unified government and stable security apparatus amid ongoing power struggles among militias."

Update from the Somali civil war:

12 people were killed in a gun battle in the village of Shiilamaow, about 20 kilometers northwest of Abudwak town (Circled in red) in central Somalia as government soldiers and local militias fought over two truckloads of weapons illegally brought over the border from Ethiopia. 2 soldiers are among the dead. This is in an area where outlaws and bandits roam free and isn't under full government control (The contested area with bandits is in dark grey).

Other than that, the fronts remain largely calm.

Update from the Myanmar civil war:

Reports are coming in that Arakhan army has captured Thandwe Prison after 3 days of intense fighting and now control the town. Government forces will now likely withdraw further south to the next town: Thabyuyaing. A reliable source reported that the government forces will likely put up strong resistance there.

Update from Krasnohorivka:

Geolocated footage shows that both Russian and Ukrainian forces have both made some small advances in the city, so let's go over them.

Firstly, Ukrainian forces (likely infantry) advanced from the fields and the railway line southwest of Krasnohorivka and re-entered the city via the southern windbreak of the railway line. They advanced for about 890 metres in an easterly direction, before consolidating control over their new positions. This advance in the residential area indicates that Ukrainian forces have also advanced in the fields just north of the reservoir and captured the agricultural buildings on the outskirts of the city.

Secondly, Russian forces continue to slowly grind through Ukrainian positions in the northwestern residential area of Krasnohorivka, this time advancing by ~340 metres in a northerly direction along Parkhomenka, Horkhoho, Suvorova, Chkalova and Chekhova streets. They are now just ~910 metres from the Lozova river.

Explosion in Voznesensk district. An Iskander-M was launched at the city.

Approximate paths of today's Russian Shahed drones. Based on preliminary reports, Russia launched 14 Shahed drones at Ukraine over the past 24 hours. The following information is based on reports by Ukrainian monitor and radar telegram channels, as well as Local telegram channels.

Russian drones entered Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Dnipro, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv and Kyiv Oblasts. At least 13 out of 14 were shot down based on explosion reports from local channels. It is possible that one impacted Myrhorod, but it is also possible that it was shot down and that the explosion reports was air defence.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have made major gains in the south Donetsk front. This advance is likely a chain of incremental advances that occurred over the past month.

They started off as a series of assaults on the flanks of the Volodymyrivka mines, threatening an encirclement of the Ukrainian garrison holding out there. This forced a Ukrainian withdrawal which sparked a chain of advances leading to the Russians getting very close to the O0532 Vuhledar-Kostyantynivka Road in a BMP assault which was repelled by Ukrainian artillery.

However, the damage has been done and this road is now no longer usable for the AFU. They will need to rely solely on dirt roads further west to supply the key stronghold of Vuhledar, meaning that it will be very difficult to supply it during rainy or muddy seasons. The Russians now also control a significant portion of the tactical heights, which will have a detrimental effect to the overall Ukrainian defensive operations in the area.

"1,000 men lost in 9 months isn't that bad"

What about 1,000 marines?

This community is getting worse and worse. Don't stick your head in the sand and pretend what happened in Krynky and other areas wasn't a nightmare for the AFU.

I originally supported the Krynky bridgehead because I believed it forced the Russians to waste resources. But once the Russians stopped attacking, I realised that it has just been for PR points.

Only when I saw the death toll did I realise the cost paid for practically nothing. Those marines could have been used to hold other areas of the frontline. They could have stopped the Ocheretyne breakthrough. But no, the Ukrainian command decides to waste it on a stupid PR bridgehead, and people actually support this.

The AFU needs to reconsider its decision-making and commit fully to defensive operations.

Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces have broken through Ukrainian positions in the Siversk direction and occupied two and a half new villages.

Firstly, Russian forces seized control over the remainder of Rozdolivka, however this likely occurred a couple of weeks ago when the reports of its capture were first coming in. The Sukha Plotva river is now in the way of future Russian advances, and they will need to cross it in order to reach the next villages in the way of the eventual goal of capturing Siversk.

The maximum advance of Russian forces was ~1.42km

However, the main advance occurred near the village of Ivano-Darivka. Before advancing on this settlement, the Russians first needed to clear the rest of Spirne. This was likely completed around 2 weeks ago. The Russians then consolidated control over their new positions in the ruins of Spirne, before launching simultaneous assaults from the south and the east, breaking through Ukrainian positions in the fields and reaching Ivano-Darivka. The Ukrainians were then knocked out of their positions in the eastern half of the village.

The maximum advance of Russian forces was ~3.42km.

This makes the reasoning behind the original offensive southeast of Vyimka obvious. The goal was to flank Ukrainian positions in Spirne.

Russian forces have advanced into Prohres on the Pokrovsk front.
