The Ukrainian GUR published a new video showing four recent FPV drone strikes on valuable Russian targets in Crimea.

The following was hit:

1 Surface situation radar station.
1 Coastal MR-10M1 “Mys M1” radar.
2 An-26 military transport aircraft.

As usual, the drones were either launched from USVs in the waters of the Black Sea, or from a larger mother drone acting as a relay point.

If there's two things Ukraine is better than Russia at, its deep FPV drone strikes and editing skills.

The IDF carried out an operation today targeting two Palestinian militants in the West Bank town of Tamoun, as a part of their continued low-intensity and relatively quiet effort to dismantle the rest of the Tubas Battalion.

After receiving intelligence about the whereabouts of a commander from the Tamoun Company (part of the Tubas Battalion), as well as another fighter, Israeli special forces were dispatched to Tamoun, where they encircled a residential building and engaged in armed clashes. Both fighters were killed in the exchanges of fire (as confirmed by the IDF and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad). There were no casualties among Israeli soldiers.

After a brief pause in their operations in the Tubas Governorate of the West Bank, the IDF has recently resumed attempts to eliminate individual cells from the Tubas Battalion and disrupt their attempts to re-establish their full presence in the area following the Israeli and Palestinian Authority operations from late 2024.

According to a reliable Ukrainian source, the Su-34 that was reportedly shot down launched KAB glide-bombs from its launch lines southwest of Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, in the direction of Zaporizhzhia City at around 4:11 am. They state that crew survived and was evacuated by an Mi-8 helicopter.

This suggests that the distant explosion heard from Zaporizhzhia city at around 4:05 am was unrelated to this aircraft. While there was an air raid alert in place for all of Ukrainian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Oblast at the time, no tactical aircraft activity or launch maneuvers were reported.

Keep in mind, launch maneuvers can be missed, and a declared target can be misidentified if the glide-bombs are targeting something "in front" of it (e.g. hitting Lyman instead of Slovyansk). If the Su-34 was shot down, the Ukrainian Airforce could be stating that it was targeting Zaporizhzhia City for informational effect due to the intensity of attacks on the city over the past 5 days.

Update: Russian VKS affiliated source Fighterbomber has confirmed the loss of a Su-34.

Sirens are sounding in Erez, north of Gaza, due to the threat of Rocket launches.

1 rocket was intercepted

Correction: This was a false alarm. It was triggered by the launch of an Israeli air defence missile.

Interestingly, the air defence missile was launched by Hamas at an Israeli helicopter over Gaza City. It missed by a few metres. This is the first usage of a Surface-to-air missile by Al-Qassam in over a year.

Russian FAB-3000 glide-bomb strike on a reported Ukrainian command post in Hulyaipole, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

This is the town that Russian forces are advancing towards with their recent pushes along the Dnipropetrovsk-Zaporizhzhia Regional Border.

One thing to keep in mind is that the majority of videos posted claiming to show FAB-3000 strikes are showing FAB-1500s or even 500s. This is a 3000.

Russian forces have captured Odradne, Velykyi Burluk direction, Kharkiv Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~183.

Chernihiv Oblast seems to be wide open and not prioritised.
