Today Russia launched 7 Kinzhal hypersonic ballistic missiles and 5 Kh-101 cruise missiles at Ukraine.
7 Kinzhals impacted in Lutsk City or in its vicinity
3 Kh-101s impacted Lutsk City
2 Kh-101s impacted Ozerne Airbase, Zhytomyr Oblast.
No missiles were shot down, as the Kh-101s launched were undetected, like last time. This is because Russia is using new launch lines from much further east near Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. The Tu-95 that launched them also departed from Engels-2 Airbase, while no flights from Olenya Airbase were made.
The goal here is clear: to confuse Ukraine.
Over 300 Geran-2 drones were also launched, most of which targeted western Ukraine, although some flew to targets in Poltava, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Donetsk Oblast. This further overwhelmed Ukraine's limited air defence in Lutsk and Zhytomyr.

NASA FIRMS data shows that large fires are burning at Ozerne Airbase in Zhytomyr Oblast, and in the nearby warehouses following 2 Kh-101 cruise missile and several Geran-2 drone impacts.
A strong secondary explosion occurred shortly after the alarms were lifted in Zhytomyr Oblast. Among the areas where fires are burning are the aircraft parking lots, and at the airbase buildings.
These large heat signatures are showing despite rain and heavy cloud cover right now.

In the Lyman direction, Russian forces continued to advance and have made further progress in the village of Karpivka and on the tactical heights.
Russian forces advanced in three areas. In the northwest, they continued to push down the eastern bank of the Nitrius River, and captured the rest of east bank Karpivka. They then advanced out of the village and captured positions in the forest plantations to the south. The capture of eastern Karpivka allowed for the adjacent forest plantations in the low-lying ground to the southeast to also be seized.
Further southeast, Russian forces advanced down the treelines on the tactical heights, while capturing a forest and continuing their efforts to encircle the village of Zelena Dolnya.
To the south, Russian forces advanced further along the tactical heights towards the village of Shandryholove, seizing new positions in 4 different treelines and gaining a foothold in the forest plantations.
+ ~10.22km² in favour of Russia.

In the Siversk direction, Russian forces continued to advance and have captured new positions northeast of Siversk.
Russian forces advanced in two areas. In the north, they continued to slowly expand their zone of control in the village of Serebryanka, despite heavy Ukrainian artillery fire from the northwest. They were able to reach the western part of the village, and captured most of the southeastern streets, however Ukrainian trenches on the approaches to the village complicate further movement.
To the south, after a series of failed motorcycle attacks on the fortifications outside Siversk, Russian forces anchored their northern flank of the wedge through Ukrainian defences by seizing positions on the southern bank of the Plotka River, and advanced further west to the trenches northwest of the reservoir.
+ ~2.12km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kramatorsk direction, Russian forces advanced, reaching the Siverskyi Donets Canal at a new point.
Russian forces advanced northwest from their positions north of Hryhorivka and south of Orikhovo-vasylivka, slowly clearing the remaining positions east of the canal before seizing the trenches along its eastern bank. Ukrainian forces retreated to the villages of Novomarkove and Markove.
To the south, they cleared the remaining positions west of Hryhorivka, while also seizing a nearby treeline.
+ ~5.17km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued to slowly advance and have seized new positions west of the Siverkyi Donets Canal.
After seizing the main Ukrainian trench strongpoints in the low-lying ground southeast of the village of Bila Hora, they went on to enter the village from two directions - from the treeline to the south and from the strongpoints. Once they were able to gain a foothold in the village, they brought in more reinforcements while artillery and aviation worked on rear Ukrainian targets and FPV drones worked on mortar positions and UAV launch points.
Despite this, Ukrainian forces were able to put up significant resistance, and the Russian advances have since halted in the centre of Bila Hora. To shorten the line of contact and reinforce their position in eastern Bila Hora, Russian forces stormed the remaining fortifications east of the settlement, capturing them and forcing the AFU to pull back to the nearby treelines on the tactical heights.
To the north, Russian forces were able to cross the canal from positions in the forested areas west of Klishchiivka, and established a small bridgehead in the opposite treeline on the tactical heights.
+ ~3.08km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced, seizing various positions in multiple different villages.
Ukrainian forces advanced from their positions in the forests north of Popiv Yar, where they entered the village and recaptured it relatively quickly. Additional positions were seized in the treelines to the southwest. The frontline was also corrected to the northeast in the neighbouring village of Poltavka, where some time ago Ukrainian forces managed to push the Russians out, recapturing previously lost positions in the southeastern part of the settlement.
On the other hand, Russian forces continued to slowly advance west in the Yablunivka area in the direction of the Kazynka and Bychok River intersection. They made further progress in Yablunivka itself, seizing further positions in the houses both north and south of the Bychok River, and captured numerous new positions in the treelines and forested areas on the tactical heights to the north as well.
To the south, Russian forces began outflanking Yablunivka from the south, where they captured a treeline and gained a foothold on the next set of treelines to the west, levering their full control over the tactical heights in the area.
+ ~6.87km² in favour of Ukraine
+ ~3.16km² in favour of Russia.

In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces renewed their assault operations near the village of Myrolyubivka, and broke through Ukrainian positions.
Russian forces advanced out of Myrolyubivka and captured the forested areas to the northwest. They then gained a foothold in the treelines southeast of Mykolaivka, before crossing the Kazenyi Torets River and establishing a foothold in the southern part of the village of Novoekonomichne.

Explosion in Barativka, Mykolaiv Oblast
The Iskander hit somewhere near the village of Halahanivka, Mykolaiv Oblast. A Russian reconnaissance drone was operating there at the time, filming the impact. We will likely get a video in the near future.

One thing I'll never understand is why people will voice that the situation on the frontline in Ukraine is bad... but then proceed to use that as an argument for why more weapons should be sent.
Like, have you learned nothing? With what soldiers will Ukraine use those weapons??

Attritional warfare has to be one of if not the simplest forms of waging war... yet so many people fail to even grasp the basics.

In the Novopavlivka direction, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced, seizing positions in two different villages.
Russian forces advanced from positions north of the village of Kotlyarivka, and captured the next treeline over in the direction of the regional border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. This allowed for them to enter the village of Muravka from the south and link up with the forces holding the northeastern part of the village.
To the northwest, north of the Solona River, Ukrainian forces advanced from the large trench fortification on the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk Oblast border, and re-entered the easternmost houses of the village of Novoserhiivka, where heavy Russian artillery fire is working on them.
+ ~2.81km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~0.41km² in favour of Ukraine.
