In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued to advance and have captured the village of Kalynove.

Russian forces advanced in two main areas. In the east they pushed into western Kalynove and established a foothold in the houses there. They then pushed east and captured the rest of the village while linking up with other assault groups who attacked down the treelines to the east. Additionally, treeline positions were captured southwest of Kalynove.

In the west, Russian forces pushed up three treelines, capturing positions along them, before branching off onto perpendicular treelines, capturing positions there too.

That interception attempt I was talking about yesterday turned out to be targeting an F-16, and it was successful. The F-16 was shot down over Sumy Oblast by a Russian S-300/400 air defence missile.

At around 11:07, the F-16 dodged the missile over Sumy City. It continued its flight towards the border and launched glide-bombs at Sudzha, Kursk Oblast at around 11:24. It then returned back towards Sumy City, but a second missile was launched and hit it at around 11:38.

The pilot, 26-year-old Pavlo Ivanov, was killed.

Further information: This is only the second half of what happened. They tried to bomb Kursk two hours earlier, but Russian air defence targeted them. They were able to escape that first time, but one was shot down on its return trip from the second bombing attempt as outlined above.

This was the second to last partially functioning hospital in Gaza City. The other partially functioning hospital is Al-Shifa Hospital, which was completely burned and destroyed last year during an Israeli raid. However, one medical unit has reopened at Al-Shifa, likely only providing basic medical care.
