Correction: Its flying over southern Crimea, heading for the launch lines southwest of Sevastopol.

2 bombers, not 1

They made a U-turn at Feodosia and are now flying back past Cape Chauda on a northeastern course, being escorted by 2 Su-35s.

They appear to be flying to Mozdok Airbase, North Ossetia.

Russian forces have captured the city of Toretsk, Kostyantynivka direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~30,914.
Total land area: ~14.40km²

The battles for the city lasted 362 days, just 3 days short of a year. Toretsk is the largest settlement Russia has captured so far this year.

High threat of Iskander launches from Kursk Oblast.

No launches are expected for now. A Russian reconnaissance drone has been hovering over the village of Nosivka, Chernihiv Oblast for the past 15 minutes, and is not moving away. Launches in the next few hours are possible.

All clear for Chernihiv Oblast and other regions under threat. Alarms will be lifted in around 9 minutes. Reconnaissance work on Nosivka continues with no changes.

The reconnaissance drone hasn't found anything yet. It's filming different parts of the village, and is now hovering over the centre in the area of the supermarket and gymnasium. There are other recon drones in Chernihiv Oblast, including one near the city of Mena.

The path it's taking is indicative of it searching for something. It was last recorded over the village of Stepovi Khutory, flying on a southeastern course towards the regional border with Kyiv Oblast.

Hey, at least Ukraine is getting a 66:1 Kill ratio according to the best articulated and professional source who still uses Zaluzhnyi in every thumbnail.

Satellite imagery reveals that since June, work has begun on Donetsk International Airport.

The trenches that ran over the runway have been covered, and construction work is underway at the abandoned carparks, possibly in preparation for installing fuel tanks. Additionally, construction work can be seen at the destroyed hypermarket next to the airport, although it's unclear if this is military related or just for restoration purposes.

Some are saying that these new actions are to transform the destroyed airport into a Geran-2 drone launch point, although it is known that launches of Gerans have been taking place from a training ground near Donetsk City for the past two weeks already, although this will be further east than the airport.

Donetsk International Airport was the epicentre of battles in 2014-2015 (where is sustained almost all of its damage) and remained on the frontline until the fall of Avdiivka in February 2024. At the closest point, it is roughly 35km away from the frontline.
