Yesterday afternoon, Russia attacked the Mayaky Bridge in Odesa Oblast with 2 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles launched by a Su-34 over the western Black Sea. Currently, Geran-2 drones are now attacking this same target.

The Mayaky Bridge is one of two land bridges connecting southern Odesa Oblast with the rest of Ukraine. The other is the Zatoka Bridge, which has also been repeatedly attacked over the last few days.

While the Zatoka Bridge is the only bridge connecting southern Odesa Oblast with the rest of the country that runs entirely through Ukraine, the Mayaky Bridge only runs through a small corner of Moldova Oblast for about 7 km, before returning to Odesa Oblast, meaning it is also used extensively by Ukraine for logistics.

No explosions have been heard. Likely a false alarm.

Update: IDF confirmed its a false alarm

Iran’s Fars News (IRGC-affiliated) reports, citing a source, that Tehran’s final decision on the framework deal with the U.S. is still under review.

The main Ukrainian stronghold in eastern Kostyantynivka has now come under operational encirclement by Russian forces.

After Ukrainian forces mostly withdrew from the western suburbs, Russian forces managed to break through Ukrainian defences in the so-called "Historical Centre" of northern Kostyantynivka, reaching the highway running through the city from the northeast, thereby blocking the last escape route for Ukrainian forces stationed further east.

This corridor remains a grey-zone, where Russian and Ukrainian soldiers hold overlapping positions, however it will be difficult to withdraw Ukrainian forces from the eastern part of the city now.

Elsewhere, Russian forces continue their assault operations, with soldiers infiltrating into the Novoselivka District in the northwestern part of the city. Russian DRGs are already operating on the highway into Kostyantynivka, however Ukraine continues to funnel additional reinforcements in, likely to secure withdrawal routes. Supply is now being carried out mostly with UAVs and ground drones.

Meanwhile, heavy fighting continues near the railway station, the city cemetery, the northern private sector, Lomonosova Street (northwestern suburbs), and the former chemical plant. The situation remains critical for Ukraine as the remaining defences in the city collapse.

Now we wait and see if Iran plans to respond.

Iran previously stated that it would carry out retaliatory attacks if Israel struck Beirut, which is what they did the last time Israel attacked Beirut.
