Hezbollah are idiots not to have invested in this earlier. For some reason they chose to prioritise unguided rockets that are too inaccurate to hit anything valuable over this. Even Hamas started using FPV drones to a limited degree back in 2023. Both sides seem very incompetent in this regard.

⚡️🇲🇱 Three explosions and heavy gunfire were reported near Sénou International Airport south of Bamako, with drones and helicopters seen over the capital.

⚡️🇺🇦🇮🇱🇷🇺Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sybiha says that Israel failed to repond appropriately to Ukraine's request regarding Russian grain vessels delivering goods to Haifa.

HE reports that the Israeli ambassador to Ukraine has been to summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so Ukraine can present a note of protest to them and request appropriate action.

The 🇺🇦🇮🇱 crowd has been awfully quiet lately...

Ukrainian defense company Fire Point showcased its FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missile designs at a security conference in Rzeszów, Poland.

Bilytske, Dobropillia direction.

Lately, a good amount of rumors and maps were spread by different mappers and bloggers about deep Russian infiltrations in the town and significant Russian successes, with some even mapping the whole southern and eastern perimeter in red, or even the whole settlement.

At the moment, the situation is closer to the opposite: it is controlled and has been somewhat stabilized relative to past weeks by the responsible units.
Russian infiltrators, though, understanding the importance of this objective, continue attempts to enter the town.

Can confirm this too. Large grey-zones remain, and both sides are conducting assault operations with small groups of soldiers.

In the Khotin, Yunakivka, & Myropillya directions, Russian forces continued their assault operations and have made new advances in three different areas.

In the west, Russian forces captured the rest of a treeline northeast of Korchakivka and gained a foothold in the forest to the south. This has allowed forward Russian assault groups to operate on the eastern approaches to Korchakivka and the northwestern approaches to Nova Sich.

To the east, the Russians resumed their assault operations across the international border northwest of Gornal. As a result, they recaptured previously lost positions in the groves southeast of Sadky.

Further east, Russian forces continued slowly advancing towards Myropillya from the east. They were able to improve their positions in the treelines abandoned by Ukrainian soldiers. The main battles have now shifted towards the eastern outskirts of Myropillya itself.

+ ~4.25 km² in favour of Russia.

The IDF announced that two more soldiers were injured by a Hezbollah FPV drone strike on southern Lebanon.

One of the soldiers was seriously injured, while the other was lightly injured. Both soldiers have reportedly been evacuated for medical treatment.

Hezbollah stated that they carried out 4 FPV drone attacks on IDF forces in southern Lebanon yesterday, including 2 on gatherings of IDF soldiers, 1 on an Israeli Merkava tank, and 1 on an Israeli D9 military bulldozer.

In the Krasnopillya direction, Russian forces continued to advance and have captured new positions in two different areas.

In the south, Russian forces continued incrementally advancing through the forests towards Taratutyne, albeit at a slower pace compared to before. They were able to occupy a number of positions here and subsequently entered the village. Newly arrived Ukrainian reinforcements are counterattacking, with the village remaining in the grey-zone for the time being.

To the north, the Russians further improved their positions in the large forests east of Novodmytrivka and managed to entrench in the eastern streets of the village. Heavy fighting is ongoing for the flanks of the settlement too.

Further north, Ukrainian forces attempted to counterattack towards the forests south of Pokrovka, with unknown results. Russian forces are also carrying out assault operations towards the centre of Stepok.

+ ~2.56 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Bilyi Kolodyaz direction, Russian forces continued their intensified assault operations and have made new advances in several different areas.

In the southwest, Russian forces improved their positions in the forests east of Verkhnya Pysarivka and are now starting to infiltrate southeast towards the village of Losivka. Fighting is also still ongoing for the forested areas east of Symynivka.

To the northeast, the Russians advanced south from Vovchanski-Khutoryi and captured a number of treeline positions, from which they are attempting to push further south. Other assault groups managed to enter the western part of Pokalyane. Additionally, the Russians managed to capture some positions in the treelines southeast of the large forest and are using this to infiltrate southwest into Zybyne and southeast towards Karaichne.

Further northeast, Russian forces cleared additional parts of the forests south of the international border and have intensified their infiltrations into Bochkove and towards Chaikivka. Additionally, other forces crossed the international border at a new point, where they secured a section of the forest and are now trying to infiltrate southeast towards Mala Vovcha.

+ ~14.20 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations and have made new progress in two different areas.

In the southeast, following earlier infiltrations and Ukrainian withdrawals, Russian forces cleared the remaining treeline positions south of Pishchane and have begun infiltrating further west through the fields towards Kivsharivka.

To the northwest, the Russians improved their positions in the central part of Kurylivka. From there, they are infiltrating south into Kivsharivka, southwest towards the forests and former industrial zone, west into Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi, and northwest into the high-rise micro-district of Kurylivka.

Further northwest, Russian forces continued infiltrating from Petropavlivka into Podoly and the southeastern outskirts of Kupyansk. Other assault groups continued infiltrating the northwestern suburbs of Kupyansk from their bridgehead, as well as the western and central parts of the city.

+ ~12.63 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Borova direction, over the last month, Ukrainian forces were able to recover previously some previously lost positions east of Bohuslavka.

They cleared the zone of Russian infiltration in and around Nova Kruhlyakivka, linking up with soldiers entrenched further east, before advancing along the southern bank of the reservoir and recapturing multiple trench fortifications north of Borivska Andriivka.

+ ~7.55 km² in favour of Ukraine.
