Geolocated footage shows that Russian forces made significant progress in Pivnichne following a series of infantry-led assaults.

Russian forces advanced through the Northeastern part of the town and crossed the Horlivka-Toretsk highway. They then turned southwest, likely in an attempt to encircle the remaining Ukrainian groupings in eastern Pivnichne while also getting behind the large Terykon (industrial waste heap).

The Terykon is an important tactical height for the AFU, and likely has firing positions facing down into the rest of the town. The Russians obviously don't want to storm the Terykon head-on, and instead chose to bypass it from the north.

This move nearly has nearly encircled the Ukrainian groupings in the east of the town as the Terykon is in the way of retreat. Only a small 560m corridor remains for a withdrawal, so unless Ukraine has already pulled out, it is likely that the eventual withdrawal attempt will be very chaotic.

Update from the Orikhiv direction:

Geolocated footage and reliable reports indicate that Russian forces have advanced in 2-3 new areas in the Robotyne salient.

Firstly, Russian forces seized a series of fortifications northwest of Robotyne, advancing up the treelines in the direction of the highway. Here they managed to advance by a maximum of ~1.71km. This will help support future assaults from northern Robotyne itself.

Secondly, Russian forces advanced east of the village by ~1.38km. This advance is significant as it puts Ukrainians in their fortifications east of Robotyne at a high risk of encirclement, with only a forested area and a single treeline to withdraw through. I expect if Ukraine hasn't pulled out of here yet, they will do so shortly.

And finally, reliable reports state that Russian forces seized a Ukrainian treeline position in the direction of Mala Tokmachka, and advanced by ~830m.

Deepstate reported that Russian forces were pushed from the Zhovtnevyl microdistrict of Chasiv yar and back over the canal.

However, their map shows that the eastern part of that micro-district is in the grey zone, and that Russian forces established a small toehold near the bridge connecting the Kanal microdistrict and the main part of Chasiv Yar.

These reports are currently unconfirmed.

Ukrainian forces, supported by 4 tanks, reportedly launched an incursion into Kursk Oblast and advanced several hundred metres into Russian territory.

Preliminary reports indicate that the vectors of attack are:
- Nikolaevo-Daryino - Darino
- APP "Sudzha" - Gogolevka

Here's what else is being reported:
- Russian special forces from national formations are reportedly being deployed.

- Russian sources claimed that one Ukrainian tank was destroyed by a Russian FPV drone near the border.

- Intense artillery duels are reportedly underway.

Ukraine has likely pulled out of the Niu-York salient. But it's important to note that these troops have probably just been withdrawn to the next big salient where another chaotic withdrawal will likely ensue.

Powerful explosions are reported in Sumy.

Governor of Kursk Oblast:

"Today, information is coming from the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts about attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to break through into the territory of the Kursk region. The fighters of the Border Service of the FSB of Russia and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation prevented the border from being crossed."

Channel 12 News in Israel is reporting that Advanced Preparations and Planning are underway within the Israeli Military for the launch of a Preemptive Strikes against Hezbollah Targets across Lebanon, prior to their Coordinated Attack against Israel with Iran.

Geolocated footage shows that Ukraine conducted a 7km suicide run into Russian territory.

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 894:
During the last hours the Ukrainian military launched a border military operation across the Sumy oblast to the Russian territory of Kursk. After several hours of fighting the situation around the border localities is diffuse and dynamic, but several of these villages (Nikolaevo-Dar'ino, Dar'ino, Sverdlikovo, Oleshnya and Gogolevka) are at least out of Russian control or surrounded by Ukrainian troops that have not yet been expelled from Russian territory.
This operation has nothing to do with the previous operations that the Ukrainian command had previously carried out in which they supported Russian nationalist contingents in an attempt to penetrate Belgorod and Kursk. In this case a large number of Ukrainian soldiers participate in the attack, which has been well planned in the previous months and has caused important losses of the Russian soldiers around the locality of Sudzha.

Ukraine appears to be putting up very strong resistance in Kostyantynivka. The Russians advance rate is averaging 40 metres per day here, much less than I would've expected.

It seems that Russia might be trying to bypass the industrial area. The industrial area is right in the way of an encirclement of the 2015 fortifications.

The US and the UK are targeting reported Houthi positions with airstrikes in the Taiz Governorate of Southwestern Yemen.

I have a feeling that after this Kursk incursion, a Russian invasion of Sumy Oblast will be imminent.

After nearly 2 months of intense urban warfare, the TNLA rebels reportedly finally seized control over the remaining parts of the town of Kyaukme in eastern Myanmar.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces captured the residential part of Nevelske. Ukrainian forces responded by heavily shelling these new Russian positions.

Russian forces likely advanced up the two main streets in the village, and fighting is probably ongoing for the treeline that separates the residential area and the agricultural buildings.

Yesterday, Hamas appointed Yahya Sinwar as the new head of its political bureau, succeeding Ismail Haniyeh following his assassination by Israel.

Sinwar is known for his involvement in the planning of the October 7 attacks on Israel.
