An Israeli flag was raised over the flattened town of Kfarkela in southern Lebanon, which fell to the IDF a few days ago.

⚡️🇱🇧🇮🇱 Heavy demolition work is currently taking place in the city of Khiam by the IDF.

Hezbollah published footage showing an FPV drone strike on an Israeli Armoured Personnel Carrier near the town of Taybeh, southern Lebanon.
This is the second confirmed instance of Hezbollah using an FPV drone against an Israeli armoured vehicle.
Ukrainian FP-1 drones attacked the Yaroslavl Oil Refinery in the city of Yaroslavl.
At least three impacts were recorded, resulting in fires breaking out at oil and gas storage facilities. The Yaroslavl refinery has the sixth highest capacity in Russia.
Overnight, Russia carried out a combined attack on rear areas of Kharkiv Oblast with Tornado-S rockets, KAB glide-bombs, and Geran-2 drones.
Tornado-S rockets and other MLRS (such as BM-27 Uragan) struck targets in the Lyptsi and Tsyrkuny areas, as well as in the Kyivskyi District of Kharkiv City.
Geran-2 drones attacked targets in the Novobavarskyi and Pyatykhatky Districts of Kharkiv City, the cities of Lozova, Balakliya, Chuhuiv, and Zlatopil, as well as the town of Bezliudivka.
At least 7 KAB glide-bombs struck targets between the village of Oskil and the city of Izyum.
The attached videos show KAB strikes east of Izyum.
Ukrainian UAVs once again attacked the Ust-Luga and Primorsk Ports in Leningrad Oblast, resulting in large fires breaking out at both locations. These are the two largest Russian Baltic Sea ports.
It appears that these drones once again utilised Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian, and possibly Estonian airspace to reach the ports, with drones just "magically" appearing in the region near the Latvian border, even though no alerts were issued in some of the regions which the drones would usually have to fly through.
This is the third day in a row that Russia's Baltic Sea Ports have come under attack, and the third day in a row that Ukrainian drones likely used NATO airspace to avoid Russian air defence.
In the Dobropillya direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations and have made new progress in two different areas.
In the southwest, Russian forces cleared out Ukrainian forces from positions north of the road to Hryshyne, recapturing the second pig farm complex and the surrounding treelines. Assault operations continued in the forested areas east of Novooleksandrivka.
In the northeast, the Russians cleared the remaining treeline positions east of the railway and subsequently established full control over the rest of the railway line stretching from Rodynske to Dorozhnje
+ ~8.12 km² in favour of Russia.

The missile attack appears to be over. At least 35 missiles of various types were used. I will publish a full report + the consequences later on.

Thank you for following along.
It seems I was wrong. These were Kh-101 cruise missiles, not Iskander-Ks. They entered as 2 groups of 3 and split up into pairs.

They circled back and are now flying towards Fastiv, Kyiv Oblast

All 3 pairs of Iskander-Ks flew over the village of Piskivka and are now approaching Malyn, Zhytomyr Oblast.

US/Israeli airstrikes are targeting the city of Karaj, northern Iran.

This has been ongoing for the last few weeks, but at higher intensity over the last week due to increased IDF control and consolidation in the city.

More specifically, it targeted a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter that was covering Su-24s/F-16s attempting to launch glide-bombs at Russian positions in the Hulyaipole area. The Su-35 was covering a couple of Su-34s flying east of Kurakhove which intended to launch KAB glide-bombs at Ukrainian positions in the Dobropillya/Novopavlivka area.
The Ukrainian Su-27 tried to launch its own air-to-air missile, and the Su-35 launched its own. Neither hit their targets and both bombing runs were cancelled.
⚡️🇱🇧🇮🇱 Unconfirmed reports suggest that the missile carried a leaflet saying:
“Hezbollah has turned your homes into terrorist areas”
Russia's elite "Rubicon" drone unit published footage showing FPV drone strikes on a Ukrainian Patriot battery consisting of 2 MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile launches and 1 AN/MPQ-53 radar system near the village of Vasylkivske, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
The video shows definite strikes on the radar and one of the launchers, with the strike on the second launcher cutting off early.
Due to the low video quality, it is possible that this was a high-quality decoy, although this seems unlikely given the setup and location.
Coordinates: 48.024411, 35.609538 (around 43 km from the frontline).
NASA FIRMS data shows that massive fires continue to burn at both the Ust-Luga and Primorsk Ports in Leningrad Oblast after they were attacked by Ukrainian long-range UAVs.

Even if they were suffering 30,000 casualties per month, only a fraction of those are KIA, and they are still recruiting 30,000 - 40,000 new soldiers per month (as per NATO estimates).
You have to kidnap men off the streets to prevent the frontline from collapsing.
Interceptor missiles are being launched from Kuwait City.

Launch maneuvers took place from 2 Tu-95MS strategic bombers over Vologda Oblast.
Maybe I was right the first time about those being Iskander-Ks. We will see.
Explosions were heard in western Kyiv Oblast. Ukrainian airspace is now clear of missiles.

The missiles changed course to the southwest, flying towards Zhytomyr City.

2 pairs flew west over Ivankiv to Piskivka and the border with Zhytomyr Oblast.
1 pair is flying north of Ivankiv on a southwestern course.
