Update 🧵September 12th.
Visit the interactive map for more details and explanations.

Russia has gained -9919 km2 since 20220602 assuming the entire area west of Oskil river is liberated, I'm still working on confirming this.

Interactive map: scribblemaps.com/maps/view/Oper…
This extends to Bohorodychne, I don't think the Russians were in the town, possibly on the very northern outskirts. But AFU standing in the center tells us the Russians have moved back.
Ukraine have now secured two bridgeheads north of the SD river. There is most likely a usable crossing in Oskil too, but it is unclear if the AFU has control there at this point (I believe they do)
Wargonzo reports the same
It is possibly two different location, but most likely part of the same operation. Iirc, you want two crossings plus one extra further away for a bridge head.

Svyatohirs'k, Raihorodok, Bilohorivka
Plus Oskil if that is secured.
GSUA reported 67 shelling locations today.
They reported shellings "along the entire line of contact" in kherson area.
One thing I find interesting is, there was no reports of shellings south of Izium. We do however see shellings between Slovyansk And Lyman now.
[Speculation] I think this is a possibility. RuAF retreating further than their map showed. It would make sense for them to put a blocking force around Lyman and holding east side of Kup'yans'k to allow for retreat.
[Speculation] RuAF might have withdrawn most units from the north bank of the SD river and sacrifice LDNR units to hold fortified positions to block he AFU.
This might explain why AFU are able to cross the SD river in multiple areas, but have not taken Lyman.
We also got GSUA confirmation about shelling in Staryi Karavan, which I already marked as liberated based on geolocated video.
I think it's safe to call Udy liberated.
I marked the rest of the area south of Kup'yans'k/west of the Oskil river and south of Izium as liberated.
Based on geolocated photo from Sen'kove 1/3
and that Borova township council stated the town was still occupied but their area of responsibility on the west side of Oskil was liberated.

Oskil stay contested until proven liberated as it is an important river crossing.
2/3
Any Russians south of izium would now be encircled, so I consider it that area liberated too.
According to Strelkov, Ukraine has intensified shellings south of Donetsk. Divide and Conquer?

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
