🏹 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 The mysterious Shahed like Ukrainian drone that has been repeatedly spotted during strikes deep inside Russia finally has a name: MICH 2000.

Until now, almost nothing was publicly known about it. The drone is used exclusively by the SBU’s Alpha unit, can fly up to 2,000 km and carries a warhead weighing between 25 and 60 kg.

Thousands have already been launched, striking hundreds of targets across Russia and occupied territories. Among its known targets are a Russian Tu-95MS strategic bomber at Engels airbase, the Baltic Fleet naval base, the port of Ust Luga, targets around Moscow and a Russian electronic warfare system near Putin’s palace in Gelendzhik.

🌪🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Texas currently holds the record for most tornadoes in a single year, with 245 tornadoes in 2015.

As of tonight, Illinois sits with at least 200 confirmed tornadoes, becoming the 2nd state ever to accomplish this. Texas' record is in serious jeopardy of falling.

📝 Mobile Weather Office: "Note that Texas is ~4.5x larger than Illinois, making this year’s tornado count in Illinois that much more impressive."

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Situation on the Omelnyk & Pokrovskoye directions, Zaporozhye/Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts:

Over the last three weeks, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have continued high-intensity assault operations, each making significant progress in different parts of this sector.

In the southwest, Russian forces established control over the town of Zaliznichnoye after threatening to outflank it from the west, and cleared the nearby village of Staroukrainka. From here, they began a general push westwards under heavy artillery and MLRS cover, infiltrating the village of Gorky and advancing even further west to the fields north of Gulyapolskoe. Other assault groups made marginal advances in two areas along the highway northeast of Gulyaipolskoe.

To the north, Russian forces achieved a localised breakthrough, capturing the main part of Verkhnya Tersa after weeks of fighting, and breaking through west to the fields, reaching the eastern outskirts of Kopani and Dolynka, which they are now storming under heavy artillery/MLRS and KAB glide-bomb cover. From there, some assault groups began infiltrating north to the fields east of Rivne, partially isolating a series of Ukrainian strongpoints situated north of Verkhnya Tersa.

At the same time, Russian forces initiated a large-scale assault operation further north, capturing the village of Tsvitkove and a series of fortifications in and around the railway line that runs along the tactical heights. Other assault groups then began intensifying their infiltrations into Vozdyvzhovka, with some soldiers reaching the gulley west of the town.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Situation on the Pokrovskoye & Komar directions, Donetsk/Dnipropetrovsk Oblast:

The Second battle for Komar has begun:

As a part of their ongoing coordinated series of counterattacks, Ukrainian forces have managed to re-enter the town of Komar, which was captured by Russia over a year ago in mid-June 2025.

Over the last three weeks, Ukrainian forces continued their counterattacks, clearing large parts of the grey-zone and breaking through into the Russian tactical rear.

In the southwest, Ukrainian forces recaptured the villages of Voronoe and Sichneve, along with the surrounding treelines, and are now pushing south/southeast towards Komyshuvakha and Maleevka. Other forces cleared the village of Alexandrograd, re-establishing control over the eastern bank of the Vovcha River, before recapturing the village of Voskresenka. The fall of Voskresenka allowed Ukrainian assault groups to push south to the fields east of Maleevka, where heavy fighting is now underway, with Russia dropping large numbers of KAB glide-bombs on advancing Ukrainian soldiers.

To the northeast, Ukrainian forces advanced southeast from Poddubnoe and established control over the village of Mirnoe. Other assault groups subsequently cleared the large expanse of fields between Poddubnoe and Alexandrograd, and began advancing towards Fedorovka from the northwest. Additionally, Ukrainian forces recaptured the forests east of Poddubnoe, which they are using as a springboard for crossing the Mokri Yaly River via the highway bridge and advancing to Perebudovaya from the north. This is being conducted simultaneously with limited crossings of the river from Mirnoe into the western streets of Komar.

The situation here for Russia is critical, and if they don't re-establish a coherent defence along the eastern bank of the river north of Komar, they could risk losing control over the entire town. This would be a massive setback for their forces attempting to establish control over the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk regional border, and secure the right flank to neighbouring units who will try to reach Pokrovskoye

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Situation on the Dobropillya direction, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last three weeks, the situation has sharply deteriorated for Ukraine, as Russia makes a series of tactical breakthroughs into the most heavily defended sector of the frontline.

In the southwest, Russian forces continued clearing the salient west of Grishino, advancing further west north of the highway. Other assault groups advanced south of Mirnoe, entrenching in the forested gulleys, and infiltrating further west along the southern bank of the Grishinka River.

To the northeast, the Russians improved their positions north and northeast of Vasylovka, continued fighting for Mirnoe, and captured a large number of treeline positions southwest of Shevchenko. Some infiltrators have managed to reach the southern approaches to Novogrishino and Matyashevo.

These attacks are being carried out in coordination with a large-scale operation from the east, which has resulted in Russia breaking through Ukraine's main defences east of Svetloye, and gaining a foothold in the northeastern part of the town. Heavy fighting is now underway for Svetloye and neighbouring Vodianskoye, where the grey-zone has been significantly expanded. Additionally, some Russian soldiers are infiltrating north into the villages of Chernigovka (Krasnoyarskoe) and further west from there into Krasnopodolye.

To the northeast, Russian forces cleared the fields east, northeast, and southeast of Belitskoye, before entering and capturing the majority of the city. From there, they are attempting to capture the Belitska Mine and support operations in Chernigovka (Krasnoyarskoye) from the east. Fighting continues with some partially-isolated Ukrainian formations in the southwestern part of Belitskoye.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Situation on the Druzhkovka direction, Donetsk Oblast:

Russian commanders achieve a significant tactical breakthrough after more than a year of stalemate on this sector

Over the last few weeks, Russian forces have significantly intensified their assault operations southwest of Druzhkivka, capturing seven different villages.

In the west, Russian forces captured the tactical heights north of Toretskoye after months of fighting. This, combined with the clearance of the remaining northern part of the village, allowed Russia to break through Ukrainian defences on the heights to the north and capture large swaths of the forested gullies south of Gruzka River.

To the east, Russian forces cleared the villages of Novopavlovka and Pavlovka, which were previously in the grey-zone, and used them to advance further north up the eastern bank of the Kazeny Torets River. They were able to village hop, capturing Priyut, Torskoye, and then Toretskoye, before infiltrating east into the villages of Petrovka and Raiskoye. Additionally, some assault groups crossed the Kazeny Torets River and captured Krasny Kut.

This puts Russian troops less than 4 miles (~6 km) southwest of the city of Druzhkovka.
