Kreminna-Svatove
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Yampolivka, Dibrova, Bilohorivka and Verkhn'okam'yanka. RuAF seems to be stepping up activity in the Kreminna area.
The RU attack around Dibrova was probably done by the 76th GAAD, and it seems like RuAF are using the VDV and Naval Infantry more and more for offensive actions lately.
Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Verkhn'okam'yans'ke, Rozdolivka, Silj, Blahodatne, Paraskoviivka and Bakhmut. RuAF are making small gains and they managed to captured Blahodatne this morning. AFU most likely fell back to the fortified h-ground west of Blahodatne.
Bakhmut S
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Ivanivske and Klishchiivka. This area is still unclear to me and I do not know if the AFU has lost the high ground around Klishchiivka.
Donetsk
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Vodyane, Maryinka, Pobieda and Novomykhailivka. I have made no changes in this area in weeks.
Vuhledar
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Vuhledar. The RU 155th Naval infantry brigade once again got their asses kicked in this area. They managed to advance almost up to the road by Vuhledar but got pushed back to the southern dachas again.
From what I can see, the attack seems badly planned and the Russians attacked without proper pre firing by artillery again, it is however possible they wanted to surprise the AFU.
AFU have favorable positions in Vuhledar, they have high ground with high rises made out of concrete with a good view of the areas RuAF need to attack from.

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. news.err.ee/1609827133/ppa…

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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
