The Romanian Ministry of Defence announced that a Spanish F-18 intercepted a drone that had entered Romanian airspace last night.

At around the same time, Russia was carrying out a large-scale Geran-2 drone attack on southern Odesa Oblast, which indicates it was likely a Russian drone responsible for the incursion.

At least 5 Russian Geran-4/5 jet-drones are approaching Kyiv from the east.

Closer-up footage reveals that 3 Russian Kn-23 ballistic missiles impacted Kryvyi Rih, rather than 2.

Russian storming operations on Orikhiv have now begun.

It's unclear to what extent yet, but there is high activity of Russian infiltrators in southern Orikhiv, as well as in the Mala Tokmachka area.

Those DRGs from earlier this week were identifying safer infiltration routes for these ongoing attacks.

Explosion in Kyiv.

A missile of an unidentified type was detected flying towards the city.

2 explosions were heard in total.

Patriot air defences were reportedly activated.

At least one interception attempt seen over Kyiv.

Most radars did not detect in missiles in flight.

The funny thing is, there's an equal chance of it being a Pro-Russian account or a Pro-Ukrainian account.

Smoke is seen rising over Kherson City following multiple Russian KAB glide-bomb strikes.

Regarding the situation in Kupyansk:

With other sectors of the frontline taking priority in the information space, Kupyansk has been left without much coverage, despite the continued high intensity of battles within the city. As such, maps from the Russian and Ukrainian sides have slowly started drifting further and further away from each other, due to a lack of capacity within the information and OSINT space for holding them accountable.

Over the last few weeks, I have managed to clarify the situation based on information from soldiers on the ground and open source data. The following is the current situation, although, as usual, there is a large margin of error as usual due to how fluid the frontlines are nowadays:

Russian forces continue to hold eastern Kupyansk, despite claims by most Ukrainian sources. Any Ukrainian presence here is small and insignificant, and does not prevent Russia from maintaining control over the urban areas. From here, Russia is accumulating troops and launching assault operations south into Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi from multiple directions, although they are struggling to achieve much success.

In northwestern Kupyansk, the Ukrainian command deployed reinforcements to conduct a series of counterattacks and clearing operations against a growing Russian presence, which only got worse once Russia recaptured the eastern Districts, allowing them to bring large numbers of soldiers cross the Oskil River to the city centre for infiltrations. As a result of these counterattacks, Ukrainian forces recaptured the area of the Bakery, the high-rise residential blocks, and some positions around the stadium. Russian forces are actively counterattacking from the city centre, trying to recapture the high-rise buildings and stadium.

In the western and southwestern districts of Kupyansk, Ukrainian forces counterattacked against growing Russian infiltrations, recapturing the Kupyansk Railway Station and adjacent residential areas. Russian forces expanded their zone of control in the city centre, recapturing the city administrative building and reaching the central market from the north.

Since then, Russian soldiers have begun infiltrating in small groups to the southwestern high-rise micro-district and southern residential areas, as well as to the residential areas north of the railway station. This, combined with heavy Russian drone, artillery, MLRS, and KAB strikes is preventing Ukraine from regaining a foothold in the city centre, with all of their recent attacks from the railway station seemingly being repelled.

So, as usual, neither the Russian or Ukrainian maps reflect reality, and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Anyone seriously paying attention to the war obviously knows that the claims by the Russian Ministry of Defence of full control over Kupyansk are completely ludicrous, but at the same time, the Ukrainian Deepstate map shows a similarly ridiculous layout of the frontline, which is contradicted by all available data.

The Russian Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding their overnight combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.

They claim to have struck military-industrial enterprises in Kyiv, involved in the production of components, warheads, and solid-propellant boosters for FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles; and components for "Khrushch" and "Gaarpia" interceptor drones and other strike UAVs.

Additionally, they claim to have struck workshops at the metallurgical plant in Kryvyi Rih involved in producing rolled steel used in the production of military equipment.

Furthermore, they announced targeting the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery, which reportedly stores fuel and lubricants for the Ukrainian military, as well as a cargo ship anchored at Odesa Port allegedly transporting equipment for the Ukrainian military.
