The sound of a Russian Geran-2 drone striking its target in Zaporizhzhia City.

Local channels reported multiple explosions during last night's attack.

1 Russian Geran-2 drone struck Dnipro during last night's attack on the city. Ukrainian air defence was very active throughout the night.

In the Belgorod direction, Ukrainian forces are continuing their offensive and have significantly expanded their zone of control in Belgorod Oblast.

Ukrainian forces advanced in two main areas. In the east, they advanced from their treeline positions on the Russian side of the border, and moved north towards the village of Demidovka. They branched off onto the perpendicular treelines to protect their eastern flank, and entered the southern houses of Demidovka. Ukrainian forces were able to capture positions there, as well as in some agricultural buildings, and pushed the centre of the village into the grey-zone. Most of these newly captured positions are on the tactical heights.

Further west, Ukrainian forces crossed the border from the village of Prokhody, and captured a forested area in Belgorod Oblast. They also crossed the border from the village of Myropilske, and captured a treeline on the border. They then pushed further into Belgorod Oblast, and occupied positions in the forests in the low-lying ground next to the Udava River.

+ ~7.24km² in favour of Ukraine.

In the Toretsk direction, Ukrainian forces restarted their operations in the city, and have made significant progress.

It appears that once again, Russian forces did not fully clear out the northern part of city of Ukrainian forces, and the frontline turned fluid again. This allowed for Ukrainian units outside the city to break in again, and recapture previously lost positions, linking up with cut-off formations.

Ukrainian forces recaptured the Terykon next to the Toretska Mines and entered the private sector of the Fomikha district in the northern part of the city. They pushed southwest down 4 different streets, clearing out most of the private sector, and reached the city centre. Russian units appear to have been taken by surprise here, as Ukrainian forces were able to enter the city centre and occupy 2 high-rise buildings as well as 6 other buildings, including the public prosecutor's office.

Ukrainian forces additionally linked up with units in the two high-rise buildings near the stadium and also recaptured a number of buildings at the northern end of the stadium, including two four-story buildings.

Meanwhile, Russian forces counterattacked further north, and pushed west towards the private sector, fully recapturing four residential blocks, as well as a four-story building and the Toretsk House of Culture.

+ ~1.05km² in favour of Ukraine
+ ~0.05km² in favour of Russia.

On the western flank of Pokrovsk, Ukrainian forces conducted a counterattack, entering the village of Solone.

3 days ago, under the cover of night, two Ukrainian armoured fighting vehicles advanced west along road which runs along the northern bank of the Solona River. Russian artillery and FPV drones began targeting them, resulting in one being hit, while the second managed to escape. This was not before Ukrainian soldiers dismounted and ran into the treeline west of Solone, where they managed to capture positions.

In the morning, those same soldiers, plus possibly a few extra, managed to break into the eastern houses of Solone, and captured positions in them, pushing the grey zone to the central houses. As of now, there are some Ukrainian soldiers in the village, and some in the treeline.

+ ~2.46km² in favour of Ukraine.

That's all the map updates from Ukraine today. Not much, I know.

Some days are like this, and others there will be tonnes to talk about.

Situation in Northern Gaza - Beit Hanoun axis:

The IDF has launched a new operation in northern Gaza, following their operation in the town of Atatra. Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles crossed the border at the Erez Border crossing, and advanced down two roads leading to the city.

While it is unlikely that Israeli forces have secured areas of the actual part of Beit Hanoun, it is known that they control the approaches and outskirts of the city. Armoured vehicles and tanks conducted fire raids into its two sections.

In the Izbat district (also known as the "officers" district where Hamas previously held a massive, fortified stronghold), Israeli vehicles drove down the road to the east, firing on the ruins of residential buildings.

In the main part of the city, Israeli forces likely broke into the city centre, fired on buildings and raided areas, before returning north to their positions on the outskirts.

+ ~4.70km² in favour of Israel.

A large Russian Geran-2 drone attack targeted the city of Kropyvnytskyi in Kirovohrad Oblast.

Lot's of explosions were reported during the night, with air defence active against the drones.

Very little information has surfaced regarding the attacks, but one photo has been published showing a fire in the city, although it is unclear if this was started by an actual successful drone strike, or if it was from downed debris.

My engagement and views on Twitter have suddenly dropped by around half. Apparently, people on 4chan are mass reporting my account for "using certain military terms".

Are you guys noticing anything too?

The Ukrainian GUR published footage showing HIMARS GMLRS strikes on 2 Russian KA-52 helicopters, and 2 Mi-8 helicopters.
