#Izyum Axis & ISW Map Update - Intense fighting continues to the south, west and east of Izyum. #Russian forces continue to drive S in an attempt to cut off logistics (Road/Rail) routes to #Sloviansk & #Kramatorsk. They are 10km from a critical rail (yellow arrow) S of Kurul’ka.
West of #Izyum intense fighting in the town of #Zavodye led to the #Russians being repelled. 🇷🇺 got as far as the middle of the town but has now been pushed out completely. A #Ukrainian Captain in the middle of the town shows a burning BMP-2. Geolocation & map in next tweet.

East of #Izyum a #Russian assault managed to push through #Ukrainian defense around the town of Yats’kivka and capture it. This makes the assault and capture of Oskil any moment a near certainty as it is now almost entirely isolated from reinforcements. 🇺🇦 will likely withdraw.
No updates from #Zarichne, where #Russia continues to control around half the town, or #Rubizhne where it controls around 70% of the city. Heavy fighting continued in both cities. 🇷🇺 needs to capture Rubizhne to encircle #Severodonetsk.
#Ukraine GenStaff confirms assault on #Avdiivka was repelled by #Ukrainian forces overnight. #Russia has been unable to breach #Ukrainian defense around the city despite multiple attempts.

Update - 9 days ago, for reasons unknown to us, Twitter shadow banned the @AggregateOsint account. We took a 72 hour pause as a last ditch effort to shake the ban before taking more drastic measures. The ban appears to have been lifted. Here is a thread on what we experienced.🧵
First off, posting this may result in a new shadow ban. We are posting this as a PSA for others who find themselves in this mysterious & undefined Twitter grey zone. We spent many hours trying to determine what had gone wrong and how to fix it. Maybe this post can help others.
Shadow banning is the practice of limiting the reach or visibility of posts, comments and activity of an account without the owner's knowledge. Twitter claims it does not shadow ban, but this is a semantics argument that relies on manipulating the definition of the phrase itself.

Let's take a look at the topography of #Severodonetsk and examine the role it is playing in the battle for the city.

#Severodonetsk is flanked to the SW by hills running along the Donets River that are between 300-500 feet higher than the city as shown in the topo map below. 🧵
This offers a series of advantages to whoever holds the hills. Some of those assets are: Observation, better cover, excellent firing positions, ability to fire from defilade, and one of the most important assets in this battle, the ability to observe and adjust artillery fire.
#Ukrainian troops have been using the hills along the Donets to shield their artillery from observation & fire behind the cover and concealment of the hillside. This is also known as firing from defilade. Essentially, using the trajectory of a round to hit an unobservable target.

#Lyman Axis - #Russian forces have likely already captured or are in the process of capturing Svyatohirs'k, after the bridge SE to the Donets River was destroyed, This cut off all supplies or reinforcements. Bridge destruction was confirmed via video below.
#NASA #FIRMS 24 hour data shows huge fires in Svyatohirsk & Bohorodychne, especially when considering the cities small size. This indicates that some type of shelling or other explosive discharges are very concentrated on these two cities. This is likely #RuAF artillery fire.
Video clearly shows the Monastery on the #Ukrainian controlled side across the river from Svyatohirsk that has dropped its last section into the water. The #UAF needed this bridge to keep a resistance in the city supplied and reinforced. It is now lost.

#Severodonetsk - #Ukraine suffered a major setback to its counterattack in the last day & has been pushed back into the industrial zone in the W of the city. #Russian forces have advanced forward of previous lines but a blistering artillery barrage from both sides is underway.
#NASA FIRMS 24 hours data shows that huge sections of the city were on fire today, which is an indicator of shelling or explosives. The shelling appears to be from #Ukraine & #Russian directed at both forward units and resupply and command control areas of the opposite side.
This artillery barrage is creating a zone between the line of contact that is essentially occupied by neither side at the moment because any soldier who is spotted in that zone is immediately hit with a massive barrage. We have updated our map to indicate the unoccupied zone.

#Ukrainian forces reportedly shot down a #Russian SU-25 near Orikhiv Оріхів in #Zaporizhzhya Oblast. The plane burns as it hurtles through the air until it crashes into the ground. #Ukrainians can be heard celebrating.
Here is a second longer video of the same hit. It shows the fireball when the plane hits the ground.
As has been discussed at length, initial reports were incorrect and this was almost certainly a Ukrainian MIG-29. Photos at the scene of the crash and reports from reliable UAF sources have confirmed this. Initially this was reported by reliable sources as an RUAF SU-25.
