Nothing ever happens

Reports from reliable sources suggest that Russian forces continue to advance in the direction of the Oskil river near Kolysynkivka.

Russian forces likely advanced and entered a trench fortification (the one which is orange and blue), and contested it at some point. It is unknown whether or not they are still there and captured it, or if they were repelled by Ukrainian forces.

Meanwhile, other reports suggest that the area in the yellow was taken, which includes one field trench fortification in the north, and a series of treeline positions.

If these reports are true, then it would put the Russians just 2.3km from eastern Kolysynkivka and 3.26km from the Oskil river. To put that in perspective, before the original offensive on the village of Krokhmalne, the Russians were over 17.4km from the Oskil river.

If they reach the river, then the road resupplying the Ukrainian salient to the north will be cut, significantly complicating Ukrainian logistics as the only way to resupply the Northern bridgehead would be to use pontoon bridges across the Oskil river, which will be targeted by Russian airstrikes and artillery.

Around 4 ballistic missiles were launched at Sumy one after another. Powerful explosions were reported.

They reportedly targeted energy infrastructure.

~10 Russian Geran drones were launched from Cape Chauda in Crimea and from Kursk.

As of the time of writing, there are still ~8 drones in the airspace of Ukraine. 1 returned to Kursk Oblast and another disappeared from the radar.

4 Gerans are flying northwest through Mykolaiv Oblast in the direction of Snigurivka, while the other 4 are flying to Myrhorod, Poltava Oblast and Chernihiv Oblast on a western course.

Explosions in Sumy. Geran attacks. This might be the drone which returned to Kursk.

I hate Ukrainian monitor channels. So many scams and fake links.

Everyone knows I’m the map guy (when I rarely have time lol)

Yeah it was. 9 Gerans were recorded over the airspace at once, up from 8.

4 new Gerans were launched from Cape Chauda, Crimea. They are flying through Bashtanka district of Mykolaiv Oblast.

There are now ~11 drones in the airspace of Ukraine.

Ukrainian UAVs are attacking Smolensk Oblast.

5 Gerans are all heading for Kyiv Oblast. 4 are flying from Cherkasy oblast to Bila Tserkva district, and one is flying ftom Pryluky district, Chernihiv oblast to Obukhiv.

Meanwhile one new Geran was launched from Kursk Oblast and is flying over Sumy Oblast.

The other drones either hit their targets in Kirovohrad and Vinnytsia Oblasts, were shot down by Ukrainian air defence or were downed by Electronic warfare.

Updated death toll for the Pager explosions in Lebanon:

11 Dead
4,000+ Wounded
400 Critical Condition
500 Eye injuries/Blinded

Hezbollah has accused Israel of being behind the attacks and released a statement saying “This treacherous and criminal enemy will undoubtedly face its just retribution for this vile aggression, in ways it expects and in ways it does not.”

I’m so stupid lol

One of the Gerans is heading back to Cherkasy oblast. It will probably circle beteeen a Cherkasy and Kyiv until the morning, so unless anything new happens (such as successful hits or new launches) I’ll stop reporting on the drones for the day.

The probability of a large-scale missile attack involving Tu-95s also seems very low.

2 new Gerans from Kursk are flying over Sumy Oblast. Ukrainian air defence is active in the area

Explosions in Sumy city. Two Geran drones reportedly hit their targets.

Massive explosion in Tver Oblast, Russia, after a Ukrainian drone reportedly struck an ammunition warehouse. Secondary explosions are visible.

Lmfao. They are as bad as the Ukrainian officials.

New Gerans were launched from Kursk. 5 flew through Sumy and Poltava Oblasts. They are now flying in the direction of Kaniv, Cherkasy Oblast. Air defence operations were reported in Cherkasy city. It is possible that some were shot down.

As for the other drone, it is flying through Zhytomyr a oblast in the direction of Rivne. It disappeared off the radar for 2 and a half hours. It could have flown into Belarus, but the Belarusian monitoring channel I follow didn’t report on anything. I’m honestly not too sure what happened as it must have flown over or near Kyiv, meaning that civilians would have spotted it.

I’ll continue to update sporadically as more news comes out.
