Tetkino direction, Sumy/Kursk Oblast.

Over the last week, a slight uptick in activity has been recorded in the Tetkino area, with Russian forces carrying out various cross-border incursions into Sumy Oblast.

One of the areas where Russian forces have been attacking is across the Seym River, into a series of positions near the village of Otruba within an area of Kursk Oblast still controlled by Ukraine. Individual infiltration groups have been detected sporadically in these areas, attempting to advance towards the international border near the village of Doroshivka.

Additionally, Russian forces have been trying to cross the international border further southwest, infiltrating through the village of Boyaro-Lezhachi, and into the first streets of Ryzhivka where a grey-zone has remained for several months now.

It's unclear if these renewed assaults have brought Russia any notable successes, but it doesn't appear to be part of any major concerted effort seen on other parts of the border. These are likely limited probing and reconnaissance operations, possibly with the goal of forcing Ukraine to keep committing much-needed manpower to this relatively inactive sector of the frontline.

The Russian Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding their overnight strikes on Ukraine.

In Kharkiv Oblast, they claimed to have struck a storage facility containing mid-to-long-range drones and their components in the town of Vilshany; and the "Zalyutine" 330 kV electrical substation on the western outskirts of Kharkiv City.

In Khmelnytskyi Oblast, the MoD announced striking the "Kamianets-Podilska" 330 kV electrical substation in the city of Kam'yanets'-Podil's'kyi.

In Odesa Oblast, they claimed to have struck unloading infrastructure facilities at three different berth terminals at Chornomorsk; four storage facilities containing military and dual-use cargo at Chornomorsk Port; and a cargo ship in the western Black Sea allegedly delivering military cargo to Odesa Port.

Borova direction, Kharkiv/Luhansk Oblast.

Yesterday, a small Russian infiltration assault group was detected operating in the fields east of the village of Stepove, near the Luhansk-Kharkiv regional border.

It's unclear how they got there, but in my opinion, they entered from the village of Novojehorivka in Luhansk Oblast, where there have been repeated Russian infiltrations in the past due to the dense coverage of houses and forests.

Ukraine's "Vilvadi" counteroffensive in the Lyman direction has not stopped, despite claims to the contrary.

Ukrainian forces have made new advances in several different areas over the last couple of weeks, crossing the Zherebets River onto its eastern bank at multiple different locations. Casualties are likely increasing, however, with many of the assaults over the last month being repelled by Russian forces.

The presence of the Zherebets River has slowed the overall rate of advance, but Ukraine has been able to maintain the overall sector-wide initiative. This is helped by the fact that the Russian command has seemingly STILL not sent any reinforcements to stabilise their lines.

New advances are also being made on the neighbouring Slovyansk and Kramatorsk directions, where the situation also continues to steadily deteriorate for Russian forces.

The 2nd battle of Terny has begun.

I'm sure many of you remember the 1st battle, with the seemingly endless Russian mechanised assaults to take this village.
