According to ISW and a large amount of individuals, politicians & media claimed Ukraine made net territorial advancements last month. Interesting to see none of them now believe in linear warfare anymore?
The reason why you see this everywhere is due to an informational bottleneck.

All these people are citing the same two sources: ISW and Deepstate. In fact, for April, only ISW claimed net Ukrainian gains (not even Deepstate did), and yet we still saw so many people claiming net Ukrainian gains then too.

NATO intelligence seems to believe that Russia *might* launch an Oreshnik IRBM in the near future. It is not currently known whether this is to do with a test launch or a strike on Ukraine.
Sirens sounded in all regions of Ukraine overnight due to the threat of an Oreshnik launch.

This was likely related to test launches of S-500 air defence missiles at Kapustin Yar Test Site, Astrakhan Oblast.

Palestinian fighters, presumably from the local West Bank armed group "Jenin Battalion", detonated an IED against a group of Israeli soldiers during an IDF raid on the Jabariat Neighbourhood of Jenin, just outside the Jenin Refugee Camp. The IDF acknowledgedโ€ฆ
The Saraya Al-Quds' (PIJ) Jenin Battlion claimed responsibility for yesterday's IED attack on the outskirts of Jenin that injured two IDF soldiers.

They stated that the attack was carried out with a pre-placed IED with a mechanical trigger, causing it to detonate when the IDF patrol drove over it.

A few days ago, due to the threat of encirclement, and under complete media silence, Ukrainian forces initiated a full withdrawal from the southwestern and western parts of Kostyantynivka, across the Kryvyi Torets River. Special forces were deployed to the area north of this withdrawal zone to hold key withdrawal roads and repel Russian infiltrations.

Since then, Russian forces have occupied most of the southwestern and western suburbs, which is why we saw that video with dozens of Russian flags going up.

Currently, I can confirm Russian control over more than 40% of Kostyantynivka (not including grey-zones), however, in my opinion, it's likely that Russia now controls more than 50% of the city.

Ukrainian special forces were deployed to the green square to secure Lomonosova Street for withdrawals along the yellow line indicated on the map.

It is unclear if they were already in the city to begin with, or were deployed from another sector of the frontline. Since then, Russian forces have intensified their assault operations, engaging in fierce battles with Ukrainian special forces for Lomonosova Street to secure the remaining western part of Kostyantynivka. This will allow them to begin accumulating for infiltrations into the northwestern suburbs, which, for now, still remain under solid Ukrainian control.

Elsewhere in the city, Russia has significantly stepped up their assault operations, attempting to cut off the Ukrainian garrison in the southeastern suburbs via the so-called historical centre, while simultaneously storming them head-on in the area of the railway station, tram depot, and city cemetery. I doubt Ukraine was able to deploy reinforcements here due to the near-operational-encirclement, so I wouldn't be surprised that Ukrainian forces retreating from the western and southwestern suburbs suffered heavy casualties while trying to cross the Kryvyi Torets River.
