Ukrainian emergency counterattacks are underway in Dobropillya.

Ukrainian assault groups are attempting to clear out Russian infiltrators in the northeastern and eastern parts of the city, and unblock key logistical routes that currently cannot be used due to the current situation.

The success depend on if the numbers of Russian infiltrators are low enough, if there are still sufficient drone operators (recon + strike) to kill Russian soldiers before they can reach the city (especially near Hannivka), and if logistics down the highway through Svyatohorivka are still functional enough.

However, the same cannot be said for the areas south and northeast of Dobropillya, where Russian forces continue to advance and slowly clear out Ukrainian holdouts. Even if Ukraine is able to clear the entirety of Dobropillya and Hannivka, they will not be able to return to the same frontline configuration we saw a couple of months ago, and eventually Russia will be able to form solid flanks west and northeast of the city.

The IDF claims to have killed a platoon commander in an elite Hamas Nukha unit, subordinate to the Khan Younis Brigade, in the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip.

They claim that he was involved in the October 7th attacks on Israel, and took part in attacks on IDF forces during the Israeli invasion of Gaza.

Overnight, Russia carried out a large-scale Geran-2 drone attack on the city of Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyi, Odesa Oblast.

At least 10 Geran-2 drones were involved, striking the "Hemoplast" medical products factory, and a nearby oil depot, resulting in large fires breaking out at both locations, as confirmed by NASA FIRMS data.

The Russian Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding last night's combined missile and drone attack against port infrastructure in Odesa Oblast.

According to them, several missile strikes were carried out on Yuzhnyi Port, targeting five fuel tanks allegedly intended to be used by the Ukrainian military, 10 storage facilities at a logistics terminal reportedly containing military equipment, as well as other port infrastructure claimed to be used for unloading and storing military equipment. They also claimed to have struck an oil tanker docked at Yuzhnyi Port, delivering fuel to the Ukrainian military.

Additionally, the Russian MoD claims to have struck the "Ajalyk-330" 330 kV electrical substation in the village of Mishchanka, which supplies Yuzhnyi Port with power.

Overnight, Ukraine made two more unsuccessful attempts at attacking Russia with FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles.

In both cases, all missiles were shot down by Russian air defences, over Donetsk and Rostov Oblasts. At least 8 missiles were used in total.

During an overnight Ukrainian drone attack, debris from a shot down Ukrainian drone fell on a children's centre in Krasnodar, killing two children and injuring at least seven others.

The governor of Krasnodar Krai confirmed that this was caused by falling debris, rather than a targeted strike.

Smoke is seen rising over the city of Slovyansk, Donetsk Oblast, following multiple Russian KAB glide-bomb strikes a few minutes ago.

Strong explosions were reported, and more KABs are flying in the same direction right now.
