The IDF announced that all airstrikes on Iran were carried out solely by Israel, while the U.S. assisted in shooting down some ballistic missiles.

A Russian Su-35 attempted to shot down a Ukrainian tactical aircraft launching KAB glide-bombs from near Barvinkove, Kharkiv Oblast, with an R-37/77 air-to-air missile just now.

The IDF issued a statement regarding their airstrikes on the Karun Petrochemical Complex in Bandar-e-Mahshahr, southwestern Iran.

The IDF claimed that they attacked several parts of the facility, which, according to them, was being used by Iran to produce essential components for ballistic missiles.

Events appear to be cooling down in the Middle East for the time being.

Iran's Khatam Al-Anbiyaa Central HQ announced that their strikes have concluded for now, but that if Israel continues to attack Lebanon or Iran, it will respond with strikes.

Israeli media seems to believe that Israel has also halted attacks against Iran for the time being, and there have been no additional security alerts or news.

Trump and Netanyahu have held another phone call, according to Israeli Channel 12. Trump issued a statement saying that both sides are "looking to do an immediate ceasefire", but that the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will remain in place until a "final deal" is reached.

Following the Iranian threat that any repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon would be met with another Iranian attack on Israel, the Israeli Air Force began another wave of airstrikes on southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli Merkava tank near the Historic Beaufort castle in southern Lebanon.

At least four Hezbollah rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome over Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel.

Israel will very likely bomb Beirut again.

They’ve openly said that’s the response to any fire into Israeli territory.

According to Israeli state media, Trump has requested Israel stops attacks on Iran. The attacks in southern Lebanon, however, will likely continue in the coming days.

Regarding the preparations for the upcoming combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine that I reported on 4 days ago:

This attack will likely occur in the next three days, with the highest threat being for tomorrow night (night of June 10-11).

Currently, 6 Tu-95MS and 1-2 Tu-160M strategic bombers are equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Olenya and Ukrainka Airbases. Accumulation of Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Iskander-K cruise missiles in Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh, and Rostov Oblasts is also ongoing.

Additionally, at least 400 Geran-2 and Gerbera drones have been prepared for this attack at most/all major launch sites near Ukraine.

Due to the recent increase in production rates, Ukraine has begun supplying their territorial defence units with 2S22 Bogdana 155mm self-propelled howitzers. It will be interesting to see if they have somehow managed to begin replacing them at the rate they are being lost, or if this is another case of Ukraine stretching their forces too thin.

I'll post an update on Kostyantynivka later today.

In short, it doesn't look good for Ukraine.

Russian forces have captured the village of Novodmytrivka, Kostyantynivka direction, Donetsk Oblast (Kramatorsk District).

Pre-war population: ~415.
Total land area: ~0.72 km².

The fighting for Novodmytrivka lasted approximately 1 month, 2 weeks.

We're also seeing a somewhat similar situation to Kostyantynivka unfold in Lyman. Russian forces have begun massively infiltrating the city from the north and east, contesting several different districts.

As with most other parts of the frontline, the situation is very complicated and dynamic, with both Russia and Ukraine holding overlapping and mixed positions in a sprawling grey-zone within Lyman. Ukraine does hold multiple strongpoints, namely in the city centre and the high-rise buildings near the central hospital complex.

What's interesting is that Ukraine has begun remotely mining the road north of the city centre following renewed intense Russian infiltrations into the southern suburbs, indicating a preparation for a deeper Russian penetration into the city.

Russia has also begun intensively striking Ukrainian logistics across the Siverskyi Donets River, which has always been unfavourable for Ukrainian supply. Ukrainian forces usually move on ATVs and in small groups of 2-3 soldiers through the dense forests and dirt roads to the "safer" parts of the city. Russian drone operators are focused on monitoring and striking these routes, however the dense forest allows most Ukrainian forces to slip through undetected.

East of Lyman, a large kill-zone almost the size of Lyman itself has formed where neither side holds strong positions. This formed as a result of Ukrainian counterattacks and infiltrations towards Zarichne and the Pynkov Yar Gulley in May. Russian forces have since repelled these infiltrations and recaptured lost positions, but have been unable to restore control over the large grey-zone east of the city, which was already partially present before May.

Meanwhile, south and southeast of Lyman, Ukrainian forces continue their counterattacks in the Ozerne, Dibrova, and Yampil areas, tying up Russian forces that could be used to assault Lyman, and significantly disrupting Russia's push to the south of Lyman that is aimed at forming a solid left flank to the city to begin enveloping it.

So, it can be safely said that the situation in Lyman is not nearly as bad as Kostyantynivka for Ukraine, but it has become substantially more difficult in the last couple of weeks.

The New York Times reports that a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, Both crewmembers have reportedly been rescued safely.

It is currently unknown if it was shot down by Iranian air defence, or had some kind of malfunction.

The Israeli Air Force carried out a new wave of airstrikes on the city of Tyre, southern Lebanon.

The IDF claims that they killed 3 members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in two separate targeted assassination strikes on the central Gaza Strip on Saturday.

According to them, they killed Muhammad Atiya Hassan Abu Afesh, the Head of the PIJ's Engineering and Specializations unit, and Farhat Zuhair Farhat Harara, the Deputy Head of the PIJ's Engineering Directorate, in one strike.

The other strike reportedly killed Abdullah Allah Riad Masoud Qadum, the head of the PIJ's Northern Gaza anti-tank unit, who reportedly took part in many ATGM strikes against IDF forces during the war.
