GSUA reported 139 shelling locations today. It seems shellings along the border to russia north of the active frontline has increased.

FIRMS Data: 2022-09-07_18:29
Added 239 locations to kml
Filtered 702 locations by proximity to other fires
Removed 84 false positives

It is pretty noticeable on which side of the front line most of the fires are located.

I'll most likely cover some rumors later.

Kharkiv north
RuAF attacked in the direction of Pytomnyk and Rus'ki Tysky, they were not successful according to GSUA

Balakliya
I have removed the RU line of control for this area, because they have no control. The AFU have pushed the Russians out of Verbivka, Yakovenkove, Volokhiv Yar, Bairak and Nova Husarivka according to geolocations.

I consider Bairak and Nova Husarivka liberated.
According to Russian channels, Balakliya has been surrounded.
The AFU has most likely advanced much further, but I have not been able to confirm it by video or photos yet.

Izium
RuAF tried to attack in the direction of Dolyna. This part of the frontline will most likely experience issues with supplies since UA are advancing north of Izium.

Siversk
I consider Ozerne liberated based on geolocated video and GSUA reporting shelling there today. According to the rumors on telegram Fighting is going on around Dibrova. RuAF failed an attack in the area of Hryhorivka.

Bakhmut north
RuAF attacked Soledar, Bakhmuts'ke, Bakhmut without success.

Bakhmut south
RuAF attacked in the direction of Vesela Dolyna, Opytne, Zaitseve and Mykolaivka Druha, the AFU defended their positions.

I consider Kodema and Vershyna captured by the RuAF based on the shelling and attack on Mykolaivka Druha. There was also a claim by pro ru channels yesterday about Kodema being captured.

Donetsk
RAF attacked in the direction of Optyne. No luck.

Pavlivka
I moved the RU line of control down to Petrivka based on the GSUA shellings. There are also a lot of shellings just on those front line towns, so I think the AFU might be on the offensive again in this area.

Kherson
Nothing new here, I'm just posting for shellings and FIRMS data.

Wrong overview pictured. It's supposed to be this.

I made this map based on unconfirmed rumors. I think kind of progress from the AFU is possible.

I made this map to show the current logistics situation for the Russians. UA seems to be heading straight for Kup'yans'k which is an important logistics hub for RuAF. If UA can get Kup'yans'k in artillery range, RU will have serious problems on the Izium front.

This area will be extremely vulnerable for RU if Kup'yans'k is in UA artillery range.
It is worth mentioning, the AFU is establishing abridge head south of Lyman, setting up conditions for an offensive in this area.

Russian propaganda channel Wargonzo claim the AFU is attacking Shevchenkove. t.me/wargonzo/8160

Pro RU channel talks a bit about the AFU tactics, and the russian version of the events. t.me/romanov_92/270…
