The IDF released footage showing an airstrike on a loaded Hezbollah rocket launcher in southern Lebanon, which they say targeted IDF positions with several rockets.

Additionally, in a separate statement, the IDF claims that a Hezbollah drone was detected over southern Lebanon near IDF positions, and that an interceptor missile was launched from northern Israel towards it.

Hezbollah has not issued any statements claiming to have launched rockets or drones at Israeli forces.

Overnight, Russia carried out a series of missile strikes on Kyiv and Poltava.

4 Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from OTRK installations northwest of Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast, targeted something in the eastern part of Kyiv. 1 missile was intercepted by Patriot systems, which in total launched at least 7 interceptors during the attack.

4 Iskander-M ballistic missiles equipped with cluster warheads launched from near Novovoronezh, Voronezh Oblast, impacted the Ukrgazprombud facility on the northeastern outskirts of Poltava City, which is the construction and installation branch of Ukrtransgaz, and is involved in the construction, major repairs, and maintenance of main gas pipelines and gas transportation system facilities. These strikes also damaged the nearby "Promuzel" 110 kV electrical substation and "Zaturino" 110 kV electrical substation.

Additionally, 4 Banderol jet drones were launched from Kursk and Bryansk Oblast. 2 drones impacted the same target in eastern Kyiv that the Iskanders struck. 1 other targeted something northeast of Vasylkiv, Kyiv Oblast, and a 4th was likely shot down south of Kyiv.

A Patriot interceptor missile is seen failing to intercept a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile. The Iskander-M impacts just next to where the Patriot interceptor self destructs.

A fire broke out in the southeastern part of Kyiv following 3 Iskander-M ballistic missile strikes.

NASA FIRMS data shows an unusually high number of fires burning in frontline Kherson Oblast in the last 24 hours, especially concentrated on the Ukrainian-held side of the Dnieper River.

I received new updates regarding the western part of the city. There are still Ukrainian soldiers in the basements of high-rise buildings and car parks in the Zinkovy district, who were unable to withdraw northwards or eastwards. Russian forces are working to secure these positions. 🇺🇦🇷🇺

I can also confirm this report by Suriyak.

This is why I never called it a "full withdrawal" from western Kostyantynivka, as Ukrainian forces remained in some positions of the Zinkovy District where they are currently intermingled with Russian positions.

Russian forces are not only engaged in clearing operations for Zinkovy District, but are also moving through and around it to the Megatex Plant and across the Kryvyi Torets River to the Kostyantynivka
Metalurgical Plant where they are trying to reach the railway station from the west.

If Russian forces are able to consolidate in either of these factories before Ukraine withdraws across the river, then the remaining Ukrainian formations will find themselves in an physical encirclement.

If I have time this weekend, I might do another livestream on YouTube covering the recent developments on the frontline in Ukraine, as a lot has happened recently.

This will also be an opportunity for any of you to ask me any questions you might have. I enjoy doing these streams, and they tend to do quite well.

Yesterday, Russian began preparations for their next large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.

- 3 Tu-95MS strategic bomber flew on the route Olenya - Engels-2 - Olenya, and were likely equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Engels-2 Airbase.

- 1 Tu-95MS flew on the route Ukrainka - Engels-2 - Olenya, and was likely equipped with missiles at Engels-2 Airbase.

- 1 Tu-95MS departed from Ukrainka Airbase and is still in the air, redeploying to Engels-2 Airbase to be equipped with missiles.

- 1 other Tu-95MS remains at Engels-2 Airbase. It is unclear if it is equipped with missiles or not. It carried out a training mission yesterday.

- Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Iskander-K cruise missiles are being equipped to OTRK installations in Bryansk, Rostov, Kursk and Voronezh Oblast.

- Geran-2/Gerbera drones are being accumulated at most/all major launch sites near Ukraine.

This attack will likely not take place for at least a few days.
