High quality satellite imagery shows that in the past three weeks, new work has been done on Donetsk International Airport to convert it into a Geran-2 drone launch point, and presumably also a basing point for helicopters.

We also get a better view of the repair works on the main runway, where crews have been filling in old craters from artillery shelling and trench lines from before 2022.

Meanwhile, a few days ago, Ukrainian UAVs damaged the former metro store next to the airport which Russia has been repairing.

On the northeastern flank on Pokrovsk, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have advanced, with Ukrainian forces managing to infiltrate deep behind Russian lines.

Russian forces were able to establish control over the large terykon overlooking the city of Myrnohrad as well as the southern bank of one of the sludge ponds. They also advanced west and southwest to the treelines north of Myrnohrad, capturing new positions there.

To the west, Russian forces made additional progress in Chervonyi Lyman, advancing further west through the settlement, and improving their positions in the forested areas on the outskirts of Rodynske.

Ukrainian forces from the 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skala", taking advantage of the Russian 5th Independent Motorised Rifle Brigade not taking up positions west of Mykolaivka and misreporting this to the higher command, managed to infiltrate northwest, crossing the Kazenyi Torets River. They then advanced further along a treeline, reaching the village of Myrne with no resistance. Here they entrenched in the main part of the settlement, effectively cutting the Pokrovsk - Kostyantynivka Highway.

+ ~6.75km² in favour of Russia.
+ ~4.94km² in favour of Ukraine.

Earlier today, 1 Russian IL-76MD military transport aircraft landed at Savasleika Airbase, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. The cargo likely consists of Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles.

This suggests that the stockpile of Kinzhals built up at the airbase during the first half of the year when there were no Kinzhal launches is almost depleted from the recent uptick in usage, as this is the first recorded IL-76MD flight to Savasleika in some time.

I want to make a “Ukraine mapper tierlist” just for fun. It will represent my view of the accuracy, usefulness, and readability of different prominent mappers without taking into account their personal opinions on the war.

Give me mapper suggestions in the comments (I will not be included in this list). I will also be making this public once it’s completed so you guys can make your own versions of it.

Here is the Ukraine War Mapper Tier list. The background colours represent whether they are Pro-Ukraine, Neutral, or Pro-Russian.

You can make your own version with the same mappers here: https://tiermaker.com/create/ukraine-war-mapper-tierlist-15512010

Unidentified missile to Konotop, Sumy Oblast

Disappeared in the border area

Two Russian Su-34s are flying over the Sea of Azov towards Crimea. They may be flying to carry out KAB glide-bomb strikes on Kherson Oblast.

A Russian recon drone was operating in the area

3 KAB strikes were carried out on the Beryslav area of Kherson Oblast. Two Russian recon drones filmed the strikes.

Sumy City is currently under a relatively small Russian Geran-2 drone attack. At least two impacts have been recorded so far.

Russian forces have captured the village of Vorone, Pokrovske Direction, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~55.
Total land area: ~0.33km².

Russian forces have re-established control over the village of Tolstoi, Prosyana direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~176.
Total land area: ~0.46km²

Ukrainian forces have re-established control over the village of Oleksandrohrad, Pokrovske direction, Donetsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~115.
Total land area: ~0.55km².

Note: this advance probably occurred around 2 weeks ago, but was only just confirmed.

In the Dobropillya direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards the stronghold village of Shakhove, making significant progress from their initial wedge through Ukrainian lines.

Russian forces advanced in three areas. Most of the progress was made in the west, where over the past 10 days, they have been making incremental progress towards the western bank of the Kazenyi Torets River.

The Russians were able to build on their previous progress in the areas of Kucheriv Yar and Pankivka, advancing eastwards on a wide front, capturing new positions in the treelines, forest plantations, quarries, and forests on the tactical heights, approaching the villages of Shakhove and Toretske.

To the southeast, Russian forces resumed their assault operations east of Volodymyrivka, improving their positions in the forest plantations in the low-lying ground, and approaching the rear of the village.

To the north, Russian forces continued their incremental advances downhill towards Sofiivka, where they established control over new positions in the main forested gulley, as well as in the adjacent treelines.

+ ~16.97km² in favour of Russia.

Deepstate claims that Ukraine recaptured Novomykhailivka in the Borova direction.

Currently, Ukrainian forces are known to have entered the western part of the village after recapturing Novyi Myr, but Deepstate's report is unconfirmed.
