It is important to note that "grey area" is not the same as "control". The situation in Krynky is quite complicated for the Ukrainian side, but that does not mean that Russian troops are in the centre of the locality as some reports say. We have to wait for the graphic evidence to confirm this.

New step in the escalation in the Middle East. The United States has declared the Houthis as a terrorist group, so that attacks against their positions will be "legitimized". This, on the other hand, will not change the dynamics of the civil war in Yemen where a relative cessation of hostilities has reigned since 2022. Some Yemeni political actors have changed their position in the wake of the British and American attacks and have moved closer to the government in Sanaa. The trend is likely to continue in the coming weeks, leaving the government in Aden with less support in certain regions bordering Sanaa's forces and thus reducing US influence in the Red Sea, an influence that has been waning since the arrival of China and Iran in the region. 🇾🇪🇺🇸

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 693:
Situation south of Seversk: After the previous capture of the northeastern hills Russian Army managed to capture the village of Vesele with Ukrainian Army retreating towards the northwestern hills where a series of fortifications (represented in dark blue) are located there. The capture of Vesele is the first Russian success this year, on a front that has hardly changed since May 2022. The next objective of the Russian troops will be the capture of this defensive line behind which four to five empty kilometers where defense is complicated, moving the battles to a few kilometers from Seversk, which is heavily fortified. The Ukrainian command on this front has demonstrated a great defensive capacity, preventing among many aspects the impossibility of the Russian troops to recover the localities of Spirne and Bilohorivka.

In the last three days we have seen Iran and Pakistan bombing each other's territory attacking positions belonging to armed groups. In spite of the declarations of an armed response and a detriment of the relations between both countries, the most likely option is that it is a previously agreed upon agreement that gave the green light to the bombings. A similar situation is currently taking place in southern Syria where Jordanian planes have carried out attacks against trafficking groups in Syrian territory itself, with the prior approval of Damascus.🇮🇷🇵🇰🇸🇾🇯🇴
