Shelling locations reported by UA general staff today Image
Weather
14 day by @davidhelms570 Image
Svatove
Wargonzo reported AFU attacks in the direction of Sofiivka. ImageImage
Kreminna
The AFU repulsed attacks around Chervonopopivka and Ploshchanka. Wargonzo reports the AFU attacked in the direction of Holykove. I think the AFU are continually progressing at a slow pace in this area. Image
Siversk
The AFU repulsed an attack around Bilohorivka. I consider this town contested and I believe the AFU only have consolidated positions in the western parts of the town. Image
Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks around Bakhmut, Opytne, Zelenopillya and Andriivka. Wargonzo reports the AFU counterattacked around Kurdyumivka and Ozarianivka. I think the AFU are trying to buck back RU forces which crossed the canal around Ozarianivka. Image
This is roughly what I think is going on around the city Bakhmut. Earlier in the week it was reported RU units managed to get in to the very eastern part of the residential areas of Bakhmut. Image
Even if they get in there and managed to establish a positions, they still need to be supplied. They might just send in new wagnerites as the old ones run out of supplies, that would be a very Russian solution to the problem.
Donetsk
The AFU repulsed attacks around Maryinka, Pobyeda and Novomykhailivka. Wargonzo reported additional RU attacks in the area of Vodyane, Pervomais'ke and Nevel's'ke. Image
There are some reports about explosion's in Luhansk. Local reporters claim it is RU planes going supersonic and/or Air Defense. At the same time, local chats report they lost electricity and gas. That must be the worst case of supersonic boom I've ever heard of.

It seems Girkin got lost on his way back from powdering his nose. But I found him again, he is back preforming his duty at the pole. Image
RU MoD today. Now lets talk about the unprofessional behavior of the Russian federation... Image

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.

The next location is the tunnel going under the Campus drive to the parking garage

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
