In the Khotin and Yunakivka directions, Russian forces intensified their assault operations, regaining the imitative in large parts of the frontline.

In the east, Russian forces advanced from their newly captured positions in southern Yunakivka, capturing positions in the forests on the southern approaches to the village. They also captured positions along the Loknya River to the west and are now attempting to push southwest down the treelines towards the village of Marine.

Additionally, unsuccessful attacks were carried out on the northern part of the forests surrounding Sadky, in an attempt at improving the situation for Russian assault groups failing to take ground in the eastern parts of the forests.

To the northwest, Russian forces resumed their assault operations southwest of Yablunivka. They captured new positions in the forested area on both banks of the Snahist River, in coordination with efforts to re-enter Varachyne from the north.

In the west, Russian forces managed to clear the rest of southern Oleksiivka and consolidate in the positions there. They also recaptured the agricultural buildings on the western outskirts of the village.

+ ~3.74 km² in favour of Russia.

The Ukrainian command has sent reinforcements to Vovchansk, in order to save the city from falling.

The immediate goal of the recent Russian advances in Vovchansk is to help tie down Ukrainian units and distract from operations in Kupyansk.

The longer-term goal is to use their improved positions in the Vovchansk area to help collapse the massive Ukrainian salient behind the Siverskyi Donets River in northeastern Kharkiv Oblast.

Last night, another large-scale, combined Russian missile and drone attack was carried out on Ukraine.

Missiles launched:

~8 Kalibr cruise missiles from 1 "Buyan-M" Corvette from Novorossiysk Naval Base.

~8 Iskander-M ballistic missiles from OTRK installations northwest of Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast.

~5 Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles from 5 MiG-31K fighters at the launch lines near Lipetsk City, Lipetsk Oblast.

-----------------------

Ukrainian air defence work:

As of the time of writing, Ukrainian air defence is confirmed to have intercepted 2 Iskander-Ms and 2 Kalibrs.

-----------------------

The main targets for this strike were Ukrainian energy infrastructure in Kyiv Oblast. The following was hit:

CHP-5 Power Plant, Kyiv Oblast (50.39317, 30.56947) by ~4 Kalibrs and ~3 Kinzhals.

CHP-6 Power Plant, Kyiv Oblast (50.531699, 30.662307) by ~2 Iskander-Ms.

Trypillya Thermal Power Plant, Kyiv Oblast (50.1339, 30.74764) by ~4 Iskander-Ms (2 shot down).

Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant, Kyiv Oblast (50.5884, 30.50818) by ~2 Kinzhals and ~1 Iskander-M

Bila Tserkva combined heat and power plant, Kyiv Oblast (49.79695, 30.18896) by ~2 Kalibrs.

-----------------------

Additional places targeted by Geran-2 drones, but not by missiles, include:

Chornomorsk, Odesa Oblast.
Kharkiv City, Kharkiv Oblast.
Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Avramivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Kaniv, Cherkasy Oblast.
Sumy City area, Sumy Oblast.
Chuhuiv, Kharkiv Oblast.
Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Oblast.
Merefa, Kharkiv Oblast.
Kramatorsk area, Donetsk Oblast.

The Geran-2 drone attack is still ongoing, so this will not be a complete list.

Keep in mind, the numbers of missiles launched may be slightly higher than what I've listed, as the number of missiles detected is often lower than actual launches.

For the record, we’ve entered stage 3 of collapse. The AFU has only resources to hold one or two sectors of the front steady at a time. Right now, that’s Kostantinovka. Everything else is completely up to Russian choice of where they’d like to push. We enter stage 4 when the AFU loses all ability to control the situation. No redeployments have any impact, and Syrsky has to sit, bite his nails, and watch as the Russians burst through to Orekhov, Slavyanka, Druzhkovka, Kramatorsk and Izyum

Deepstate is doing anything to not show an encirclement of Myrnohrad.

Russian soldiers are seen walking calmly through Pokrovsk city centre. No sounds of battle are audible.
