9 Geran-4 jet-drones are detected, including 3 other Kyiv. At least 5 of them are equipped with cameras and are being remotely controlled by drone operators, including all three of the ones over the city.

They're making a fourth circle over Kyiv now. They still haven't been shot down.

The drones are primarily filming these areas of Kyiv, scouting out potential targets for the upcoming missile attack.

The three drones flew away from Kyiv. One was shot down while leaving. They are now flying back to the city.

5 others are flying to Kyiv from the northeast.

2 Russian Kh-59/69 cruise missiles are flying to Yuzhnyi Port, Odesa Oblast.

2 Tornado-S rockets on Snihurivka, Mykolaiv Oblast.

They disappeared off the coast, likely after being intercepted.

A Russian Zala reconnaissance drone is flying to the Tornado-S impact site to carry out reconnaissance.

NASA FIRMS data indicates that a large fire broke out at/near the "Raben Ukraine" Logistics Warehouse in the city of Brovary, Kyiv Oblast, following several Russian Geran-4 jet-drone strikes earlier today.

This location was previously targeted by ballistic missiles on August 5.

Russian mapper Radov is reporting that Ukrainian forces crossed the Mokri Yaly River and entered Komar.

Prior to this, a significant increase in Ukrainian artillery/MLRS shelling and airstrikes on the town was recorded.

"Unfortunately, it is necessary to destroy not only individual private houses, but entire towns and cities in Gaza. Hamas uses every city as a fortress, every house as a personal warehouse".

This is literally the Israeli justification for why they are committing genocide in Gaza. But, people like Lost Armour have no moral compass or self-reflection skills, which causes them to advocate for such disgusting acts.

OPSEC has been lifted, and Deepstate has updated their map showing Ukrainian advances from their counterattacks from the last few months.

Before people accuse me of copying Deepstate with my upcoming map updates from this sector, I'd like to mention that I've had similar changes on my map for a while, but with just not enough time to map a full update.

Some of it I can confirm, some of it I can't.

There are also some areas where Ukrainian forces are still attacking, meaning Deepstate hasn't updated there yet.

I'll make a full post on it later.

I should emphasise: Deepstate's map update today represents an operation that I have been covering since April, lasting over 4 months.

These advances were not made in one day, one week, or even one month. It will also significantly skew the monthly frontline changes made by Deepstate, so I urge you to ignore the numbers they put out at the end of August.

The fact that almost every single Ukrainian mapper waited for Deepstate to update their map of the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south reveals how centralised the Ukrainian information space has become.

I was one of the only Pro-Ukrainian mappers who fully covered this counteroffensive from February to now, and this was achieved entirely through open sources. Anyone else could do this, but they chose not to.

Next is north of Lyman, where Deepstate will likely update their map in the coming weeks. Ukrainian mappers will follow suit hours after, as usual.

What a bleak era in the information space...

By the way, OPSEC is for exclusive information you receive from soldiers on the ground. It does not involve open sources that anyone can access.

Anyone can map off open sources and not break OPSEC, but hardly anyone chose to with this operation.

It's been funny watching mappers who have spent years claiming that Russia doesn't control areas or localities just because there are a couple of soldiers present suddenly change their mind and say it does count when it comes to Ukraine.

The mental gymnastics they have to go to to justify denying every Russian movement (advance or expansion of the greyzone) but ignoring the same criteria for Ukraine is insane.
