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.
Total land area: ~1.02 km².

From a prominent Ukrainian channel with close connections with Ukrainian air defence and ground forces. He's talking about the strikes on the Honcharivske Training Ground in Chernihiv Oblast.

Another prominent Ukrainian source with close connections to air defence units.

Chernihiv Oblast seems to be wide open and not prioritised.

We have geolocations confirming my earlier reports that Ukrainian forces were encircled in Sichneve and were being hit by FPV drones.

The IDF said the site’s existence violates understandings between Israel and Lebanon and vowed to continue acting against threats to Israel.

Iskander launch from Kursk

Iskander on Khotin, Sumy Oblast

Flying to Ulyanivka/Sumy City

Disappeared. This was an S-300 in ground-to-ground mode.

8 Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers departed from Ukrainka Airbase, Amur Oblast. The purpose of the flight is unknown - possibly large-scale training exercises.

The Saraya Al-Quds Brigades (Palestinian Islamic Jihad) has claimed responsibility for the rocket attack on the Israeli city of Ashdod, over 30 km away from the closest potential launch positions.

They stated that three "Badr-3" MLRS rockets were used.

Remind me, who was it who carried out that drone strike on a car with a family of American citizens this week?

It feels like its been a while since i've addressed the overall situation across the front in Ukraine. Over the last few months, Ukrainian forces have been conducting localised counterattacks in various places across the front when they hold a slight numerical advantage. However, this has significantly depleted the overall situation for the AFU, as the strategic whack-a-mole game grows in intensity. Gaps are opening up more frequently, and in greater magnitude. The biggest example was the Zolotyy Kolodyaz breakthrough, which forced Ukraine to pull elite Azov units from the Serebryanske forestry and Kupyansk, as well as regular units from Pokrovske direction. What we saw was the clearest evidence of the whackamole theory yet, as villages toward Pokrovske tumbled, the Serebraynske forest, which had held out for over 2 YEARS collapsed immediately, and Russian forces now controlling over half of Kupyansk. The whack a mole game continues, and will continue, with larger and larger gaps opening up, until the eventual end of organised resistance by the AFU. To be vulnerable and honest, i've made so many mistakes predicting a timeline of collapse, so im not gonna try to predict a timeline again lol. But collapse is happening, in stages, gradually.

5 Tu-95MS bombers from Ukrainka landed at Engels-2 airbase today. There are now 8 Tu-95MS at Engels-2 and 1 at Olenya airbase.
Following this redeployment, at least 8 Tu-95MS are ready for combat. A large-scale missile attack against Ukraine is likely within the next 48 hours

In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces continued to advance within Kupyansk City and have broken through towards the southwestern suburbs.

After a period of intensified assault operations, DRG activities, and infantry accumulation, Russian forces were able to make significant progress in the western part of Kupyansk, advancing through the residential areas west of the Kupyanka River. They were able to capture positions along Lermontova Street, which leads to Sobolivka, while assault groups penetrated further south to the high-rise buildings of the Yuvileynyi Neighbourhood in the southwest of the city.

East of the Kupyanka River, Russian forces improved their positions in the residential areas and reached the industrial zone in the centre of Kupyansk. They are now bypassing the Ukrainian "Comb" stronghold in the high-rise micro-district in the northern suburbs which the Russians previously failed to enter. Meanwhile, Russian forces continued to carry out assault operations in the area of the Central City Hospital, while Ukrainian forces continued to repel Russian attacks in the city centre.

+ ~0.96 km² in favour of Russia.
