40Shelling locations reported toyday. Image
FIRMS: To early to give any indication. Image
Not much movement reported, there was only one mentioned by the GSUA.

Lada aspirants from Russia assaulted the Vuhlehirsʹka Thermal power plant from multiple directions. The AFU pushed them back again. -GSUA Image
I have previously suggested that location as a good goal/target for the AFU in case of an offensive in the area.
Novobohdanivka is one of possibly two key locations for the railway supply to the entire Kherson/Zaporizhzhia area.

Even if HIMARS are pushing the RU supplies further back, they still utilize the railway, so these locations are still important. Image
If you are American, make sure you lean on your let your congress man/woman know you want them to send more weapons to Ukraine.
Here is how to find your local representative.
I tested this with the only zip code I know in the united states. 90210

Shellings updated, 84. Image
FIRMS Data: 2022-07-24_17:45
Added 329 locations to kml
Filtered 682 locations by proximity to other fires
Removed 99 false positives Image
GSUA only reported an attack on Bohorodychne in the Izium area. This part of the frontline has calmed down a lot. A few weeks ago RuAF tried to attack in 3-4 directions every day. Image
I'm almost thinking they are moving assets away from the Izum area, perhaps the railroad supply line is too vulnerable with the arrival of GMLRS. Just speculation from my part.
Participants in the Ukrainian Lada Rally (RuAF) are trying to advance on Verkhn'okam'yans'ke and Bakhmuts'ke. Mothers morale very high.
Marked Bilohorivka as RU controlled. Based on attacks from that direction. Image
Fighting is still ongoing in the area of Vuhlehirsʹka however the RuAF were repulsed by Ukrainian Mutated Bats in the Novoluhans'ke area. Image
The last thing reported by GSUA today was the failures of the VDV (RU) in the Kherson region. (Don't worry, they are used to it)
The VDV stood no chance in the direction of Andriivka and Bilohirka, suffered losses and retreated chaotically according to GSUA. Image
I have spent most of the day trying to figure out the whole pontoon bridge thing found by @CovertShores yesterday. I looked at SAR images, and it looks like two pontoon sections of about 60m each are remaining in place after 24hours.

Source:
ImageImage
I'm going to call the pontoon sections barges from now on.
I do not think the barges have been deployed at the location they were spotted. The reason is the area around the water looks undisturbed. I think this is a parking place Image
Here are examples of how the pontoon ridges can be used as barges. This way you can quickly transport heavy equipment without the risk of having a stationary bridge. ImageImage
I believe the barges in question have been used for this purpose already, and have been parked/hidden in that small canal.

I am still unsure of when, how much, where and in what direction. (satellite tells us after 20th, morning, before 23rd morning)
One possibility is they are using these barges to transport fuel and ammo that is too heavy/risky to transport on the bridge. In to Kherson.
Another possibility is they are using it to evacuate valuable equipment like radars, tanks and washing machines.
One possible location for docking on the south side of the Dnipro is next to the Antonovskiy Bridge. It looks to me like they have pushed around some dirt to possibly make a ramp down to the river.
This is more or less the only place close with road access on both sides. ImageImageImage
All three of these locations looks good for docking on the north side. Image
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me out with this and provided info and idea. (I don't do this enough)
Amazing images of the N/S end of the Antonovskiy Bridge provided by h/t @sakkesarjakoski. Both sides seems to have fresh marks of "ground disturbance". The one of the south side definitely looks man made.
Also h/t @secretsqrl123 for always providing useful insights. ImageImage
The main question now is if these in conjunction with the barge is for repair work, or for transportation.

For now I'm thinking they are using the barge for repair work.
So let's all cross our fingers and toes and hope Arestovych has improved his accuracy.

The only reason for them to be there is for them to be spotted there. This is part of Russian hybrid warfare escalations.
They decided to go and stand on this little piece of road right here.

There is some kind of local deal where Estonians are allowed to drive over that little stretch of Russian land if they don't stop.

Rough infil/exfil path of the UVU shooter, based on photos, videos and eye whitness reports. Green arrows are guestimated paths between sightings. Image
In the start of this video, the UVU shooter can be seen walking towards the campus, at the end he can be seen running away from it.

Ukrainian Drone hit the Deng Xiaoping Logistics Complex which is part of the Alabuga Special Economical Zone. The Alabuga SEZ is where they produce the Shahed drone.
The DXLC is a railway logistics center being built in partnership with China to support the fast growing Alabuga SEZ. Image
At the actual SEZ they are expanding at a rapid pace, they are building on site housing and/or office space for tens of thousands of employees. Their goal is likely to significantly scale up the production of drones. Image

This is an interesting case. The local municipality decided to investigate their legal options to force the church to move.
Nothing says church like high metal fences, guard dogs and military age males in hoodies. Image

The reason the confidence is low, is a lack of data. They simply dont have enough information to know yet. Desplite that, the US President proclaims complete destruction, an assesment likely based more on his whishes than any intelligence.
Image
Furthermore, they are trying to supress any discussion about this and might actually prevent the DIA to do their job properly, they know a negative report will not be precieved well by the White House. Image
Hegseth also tells a story which does not align with reality. We have all seen the pictures. There isnt a mountain of rubble. Hegseth says he have seen it all, and i wonder if it was during his time as prison guard or if it was during his time as a instructor? Image
