An explosion was reported in Kharkiv. Possibly a KAB glide bomb strike.

In the Borova direction, Russian forces made a small advance in the low-lying ground.
Russian forces advanced into a small forest in the low-lying ground, northwest of Makiivka, capturing it. They also captured an orchard, part of which is on the edge of the tactical heights.
+ ~0.49km² in favour of Russia.

Photos shared by a local in Sumy show what appears to be a new type of Russian drone. One of them struck a non-military car, while the other was flying down one of the city's streets and hit some branches.
The centre of Sumy city is over 30km from Russian-controlled territory.

🇸🇩 - In Sudan , the RSF shot down an IL-76 cargo plane in the south Darfur region.
The RSF are claiming the aircraft belonged to the Sudanese army, it is however good to remember that the RSF mistakenly shot down an allied cargo plane sending them equipment last year.

Puntland forces continue their offensive against the Islamic State in the Calmiskaad mountains of northern Somalia and are making slow progress.
Earlier today, Puntland forces broke through the Islamic State strongholds in the Curaar valley of the Calmiskaad mountains in northern Somalia, and captured a series of fortified positions and villages, including the important village of Sheebaab.
If Puntland forces can continue to advance northwest to the end of the valley, and capture the remaining hamlets there, then the Islamic State will effective be trapped in the mountains circled in orange.

Russian forces are increasingly targeting the city of Slovyansk in Donetsk Oblast with KAB glide bombs and airstrikes.
Last night's airstrike targeted School No. 4. Ukrainian authorities stated that it was a civilian building, while Russian sources reported that it was used as a temporary deployment point for Ukrainian units.
It is interesting to note, that the strike hit the central part of the rear side of the school, which would not have caused destruction at a significant distance. This is evident with the front and the western parts of the school not being destroyed. However, destruction was noted relatively far away from the building.
A Russian source, citing local reports said that the more widespread damage to civilian buildings was caused by the detonation of ammunition stored in nearby buildings.
Additionally, one photo reportedly shows a damaged Ukrainian military vehicle (circled in red), although this cannot be verified right now.

Approximately 20 minutes ago, at least three Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers departed from Olenya Air Base in Murmansk Oblast and are flying south towards the first set of potential launch lines in the Engels district of Saratov Oblast. The Tu-95MS bomber is a carrier of Kh-101 cruise missiles.
Previously, Russian strategic comms were active, suggesting a possible combat flight today.
A lot of redeployments have been carried out over the past two weeks, in preparation for future missile attacks on Ukraine.
The Tu-95s are expected to arrive at the first launch lines between 2-3 hours from takeoff. There are other launch lines in Volgograd Oblast, and over the Caspian Sea.

My updated estimations on losses: 150k Russian KIA 300k Russian WIA + MIA 450k Russian losses in total 180k Ukrainian KIA 320k Ukrainian WIA + MIA 500k Ukrainian losses in total
Not that speculation on losses matters. We will probably never truly know the real figures.

One of my sources from the Donbas sent me some clarifications on the third image based on their analysis of the situation.
They believe that all of the vehicles in that image belong to the Ukrainian military, rather than just the one that is circled.
Additionally, there is a tobacco shop there, which are always filled with soldiers in cities close to the frontline, but unfortunately, there are also lots of civilians there too for other reasons, meaning that it isn't 100% a military location.
Additionally, the claims of ammunition detonation are unverified, as rescue teams were able to access the arrival site, which they can't do when there's ammunition detonations.
The bomb used was most likely small, probably 250kg with a jet engine. It also hit a nearby clothing store. These clothing stores are around 50-75% military clothes, making it very popular among soldiers, but also among civilians, which would explain why there were quite a few civilian casualties reported.

~20 minutes until they reach the first launch lines in Engels district of Saratov Oblast.
Additionally, the total number of Tu-95s airborne has been updated to 4.
