CENTCOM claims U.S. forces shot down two Iranian drones inbound for an American early warning radar in Bahrain.

Sources in Bahrain told me they heard strange sounds originating from the sea at around 4am local time, that seemed similar to the sounds heard when Iranian drones were being intercepted off the coast during the active phase of the war. It's possible this was from those two Iranian drones being shot down.

Situation on the Dobropillya direction, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last few weeks, Russia has significantly intensified their offensive operations in and around Dobropillya, making significant progress towards capturing the city.

In the northeast, Russian forces have begun accumulating and consolidating behind their deep infiltrations towards Zolotyi Kolodyaz and beyond, capturing a large area east of Vilne, which they are now using to accumulate in and bypass the village from the east with.

To the west, the Russians cleared the majority of Ukrainian positions east of Dobropillya and secured control over their infiltration routes into Hannivka and the northeastern part of Dobropillya, entrenching themselves along the southern bank of the Byk River. Infiltrations from here and along the northern bank of the river into the northern streets of Dobropillya continue. Other Russian infiltration groups are also attempting to establish control over the nearby terykon (industrial waste heap).

To the south, Russian forces cleared the railway line and other positions east of Dobropillya and captured the southeastern industrial zone of the city, along with some of the adjacent residential streets. Footholds were also established further north toward the terykon and mine, from which Russian soldiers are trying to infiltrate deeper towards the city centre. Today, this area was reinforced by a mechanised column consisting of tanks, armoured vehicles, and motorcycles, which deployed large amounts of infantry for further accumulations, consolidation, and deeper infiltrations.

Further south, Russian forces cleared the remaining Ukrainian positions west of Bilytske and continued their attempts to enter and secure positions within the Bilytska Mine. Another mechanised column consisting of tanks, armoured vehicles, and motorcycles also attempted to advance from Bilytske through Chernihivka towards the southeastern industrial zone of Dobropillya for the some purpose as the first column. Other assault groups managed to complete the capture of Svitle and improved their positions in the neighbouring town of Vodyanske.

To the northwest, heavy fighting continues for the village of Dobropillya and its surroundings. Russian infiltrators are continuing their attempts to infiltrate the southwestern industrial zone of Dobropillya and the fields to the west, with some small groups managing to penetrate the village of Svyatohorivka, where they are trying to link up with infiltrators arriving from the direction of Hannivka. Other assault groups are pushing west from Dobropillya and northwest into the adjacent treelines.

To the southwest, Russian forces completed the capture of Novohryshyne and significantly improved their positions in the treelines to the south. From there, individual infiltration and DRG groups are infiltrating west into the fields north of Shylivka and Hulive, as well as into Shylivka itself. Similar deep infiltrations are being carried out along the southern bank of the Hrishynka River towards Shylivka.

Note: these advances are not the result of this morning's Russian mechanised assaults. They are older changes from within the last few weeks.

Situation on the Kostyantynivka direction, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last few weeks, Russian forces have continued their offensive operations on the flanks of Kostyantynivka, making new advances in four different areas.

In the west, Russian forces continued pushing north through the fields between the chain of reservoirs and Kostyantynivka, and managed to entrench in a number of new positions on the outskirts of Osykove. From here, they are infiltrating in small groups into the treelines to the northwest, as well as north into the first houses of Oleksijevo-Druzhkivka. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continue their attempts to infiltrate in small groups into the northern and northwestern parts of Kostyantynivka, attempting to reinforce their positions in the large grey-zone there.

To the east, the Russians improved their positions west of Chasiv Yar and are coming close to fully capturing the village of Mykolaivka. They also managed to secure new positions in the neighbouring settlement of Chervone, and are working to clear the remaining positions in the former Ukrainian salient there. Other assault groups are carrying out deep infiltrations through the large grey-zone towards Kurtiivka.

To the north, Russian forces cleared the remaining positions in the village of Maiske, ending the 15-month-long battle for this settlement. They are also periodically conducting infiltrations along the highway towards Virolyubivka.

Further north, the Russians initiated new assault operations along the tactical heights towards Bilokuzmynivka, where they are able to establish control over a number of new positions overlooking Fedorivka. From here, they are attempting to infiltrate further west along the chalky hills towards Bilokuzmynivka.

❗️This morning, under the cover of fog, the Russian command initiated a multi-pronged assault on Dobropillya using a large number of armoured vehicles, tanks, and motorcycles.

The assault, which began a few hours ago, is taking place along two axes. One column moved directly from Bilytske and through Chernihivka. The other column moved west from Novyi Donbas along the railway line. Both columns likely intend to converge on the southeastern part of Dobropillya, where they will probably attempt to deploy large numbers of infantry to reinforce already-established positions there.

Work is underway from Ukrainian drone operators to destroy the columns. But even if all the vehicles are destroyed, the situation within the city itself will likely deteriorate further due to an increased number of Russian soldiers present there.

An Israeli targeted assassination strike on the Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, killed at least 6 Palestinians and injured 25 others.

The strike, which was carried out on the second floor of the hospital's surgery department, resulted in significant damage to the facility. One of the missiles used in the attack failed to explode upon impact.

The IDF and Israeli media claim that the target of the attack was the commander of Hamas' Khan Younis Brigade Muhammad Abu Ismail, as well as multiple other alleged Hamas operatives. They also claim that the hospital stored weapons, was the site of interrogations and torture by Hamas internal security forces, was used as an observation post and shelter for militants, and contained command-and-control centres.

I agree. This is a common trend for this time of the year, where all the usual movement and infiltration routes are all of a sudden very exposed due to falling leaves. This, combined with unusually intense Russian offensive operations, is naturally going to create such an effect. I expect casualties will begin to decrease over winter.

Of course, as Playfra rightly points out, these numbers provided by the Ukrainian General Staff are exaggerated. In my opinion, the claims of 3k Russian casualties in a day (KIA + WIA) are a significant exaggeration. Claims that they have videos of all the FPV strikes are just claims, and there is no way to verify these numbers when we only see a small fraction of this supposed total.

And one must also ask, if Russia is suffering such heavy casualties due to these abnormally large offensive operations, then how many casualties is Ukraine suffering due to these same abnormally large offensive operations, which are naturally supported with larger-than-usual strike campaigns.

Orikhiv direction, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Information from the ground:

While Ukrainian forces continue their counterattacks south of Orikhiv, the Russian command has not abandoned their attempts at carrying out deep infiltrations, especially on the flanks of the city. They have even begun opening up new vectors of assault along previously quiet frontline sub-sectors. It's likely that these attacks have the goal not only of actually improving their positions on the approaches to the city, but also to force much-needed Ukrainian assault groups to constantly engage in clearing operations behind their forward positions, decreasing the overall potential of their ongoing counterattacks.

The following information is relevant as of this morning:

On the left flank of Orikhiv, Russian infiltrators continue to periodically attempt to improve their positions northwest of Novoandriivka, moving north from the highway into the nearby forests and treelines. Further southeast, a new vector of assault has been opened up northeast of Nesteryanka, where at least four small infiltration groups have managed to move at a depth of nearly 4 km from the closest Russian-controlled territory, with some approaching the highway to within a few hundred metres. Others are also renewing their attempts at entering the southern-most houses of Novoandriivka.

Directly south of Orikhiv, Russian soldiers continue to be detected in the southern and eastern parts of Novodanylivka, amid continued Ukrainian efforts to dislodge them from the settlement. Russian soldiers were also detected in the fortifications between Robotyne and Novodanylivka just west of the highway, where it's possible they have managed to consolidate in the grey-zone there.

On the right flank of Orikhiv, Russian forces have recently stepped up their efforts at advancing west along the northern bank of the Konka River towards Mala Tokmachka and Orikhiv. At least three small infiltration groups were detected operating in positions between Bilohirya and Mala Tokmachka, as well as in the treelines to the northwest. Judging by reports in Ukrainian channels, most of Bilohirya has seemingly come under Russian control.

Meanwhile, in Mala Tokmachka itself, the overall Russian presence continues to decrease as they are slowly pushed back to their starting positions. It's likely that Ukrainian forces have been managed to make additional advances towards the eastern outskirts of the town, however I am currently unable confirm this.

Note: the information on Ukrainian counterattacks is compiled from open sources, and does not violate any OPSEC regimes in place. Only the information on Russian movements came from my personal sources.

Situation on the Slovyansk direction, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last couple of weeks, Ukrainian forces continued their coordinated series of counterattacks east of Slovyansk and have made significant progress.

After pushing the Russians back from the approaches to Mykolaivka, the Ukrainian command shifted their focus to regaining control over the tactically-important town of Rai-Oleksandrivka, and the surrounding fortifications. As a result of these recent counterattacks, Ukrainian forces were able to regain the initiative in the town itself, breaking the localised stalemate and recapturing the entire town centre and most of the eastern streets. They are now engaged in fierce battles for the remaining eastern parts, where Russian forces are counterattacking and attempting to drive the Ukrainians back to the centre.

After regaining control over most of Rai-Oleksadnrivka, Ukrainian assault groups pivoted southeast and began infiltrations the fields and fortifications outside the town. They were able to quickly recapture a series of fortifications east and southeast of the town, and cleared out Russian infiltrators attempting to advance towards Oriukhuvatka.

To the south, after clearing the Yurkivka area from earlier Russian infiltrations, Ukrainian forces began pushing southeast towards Nykyforivka and managed to recapture the large forest outside Lypivka and the village itself. From here, they are attempting to re-enter the northern part of Nykyforivka. Other assault groups cleared a number fortifications north of Fedorivka Druha and began infiltrating both Fedorivka Druha and Dibrova.

In the north, Ukrainian forces marginally advanced in the northern part of Kryva Luka. Russian forces are continuing their attempts to dislodge them from their bridgehead. Other Ukrainian assault groups are attempting to infiltrate east towards Kalenyky.

Starting today, I will be permanently halting my live coverage of Russian missile attacks on Ukraine, and will be replacing it with summary-style posts.

This is due to declining interest, negative effects on my reach, and because of how time-consuming it is. Instead, I will provide updates in a more efficient manner as each attack progresses, making maps of the flight routes and strike locations after each wave of missiles has impacted.

I have been glad to see how far I came covering these attacks so extensively for nearly 3 years, and was extremely shocked by how much traction it got, with even the U.S. and Polish embassies in Kyiv using my coverage to help their staff make safe decisions. However, I hope this new format will be more convenient for everyone who wishes to get an idea of how these attacks unfolded.

Also, to my sources on the ground who provide me with information about these attacks - please don't stop. It will all still be very useful for my summary posts, and I'm always looking for more info to help with my reporting.

A car bombing in Moscow has critically injured Sergei Zavorotny, former press secretary to ex-Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov.

Previous U.S. intelligence reports had claimed Zavorotny worked as an officer of the Russian SVR. Ukrainian channels claim he worked as a Russian propagandist and appeared on pro-Kremlin media outlets.

The explosion reportedly occurred after a device attached under the seat of his car a few minutes after he left his driveway. A criminal case has been opened into the incident.

This is the second car bombing to take place in the last two days. Another car bombing on Thursday killed a Russian colonel in St Petersburg. Both were likely conducted by Ukrainian intelligence operatives.

Current status of the remaining four administrative districts of Donetsk Oblast:

Donetsk Oblast has 8 administrative districts. 3 were effectively fully controlled by DPR forces prior to 2022, while 1 more (Mariupol District) was fully captured by Russian forces early on in 2022.

In the 4.5 years since then, fierce battles have raged for the remaining 4 districts: Kramatorsk, Bakhmut, Pokrovsk, and Volnovakha.

The capital of Volnovakha District fell on March 12, the capital of Bakhmut District fell in May 2023, the capital of Pokrovsk District fell in November 2025, while the capital of Kramatorsk District remains in Ukrainian hands.

Despite Russia now controlling 3 out of 4 of these administrative centres, battles continue in all four districts. Bakhmut District was temporarily fully captured by Russian forces in July 2026, only for Ukraine to re-enter parts of it in the last couple of months. Volnovakha District was also very close to being captured in late-2025, only for Ukraine to launch a counteroffensive towards Komar earlier this year.

The current Russian control of these Districts, compared to one year ago in November 2025, is as follows:

Kramatorsk District: 21% - down by 4% from 25% one year ago.

Bakhmut District: 98% - up by 15% from 83% one year ago.

Pokrovsk District: 78% - up by 5% compared to 73% one year ago.

Volnovakha District: 94% - down by 5.5% compared to 99.5% one year ago.

Russia has made net gains in Bakhmut and Pokrovsk Districts, while Ukraine has made net gains in Kramatorsk and Volnovakha Districts.

Kramatorsk District remains the only administrative division of Donetsk Oblast that Ukraine controls the majority of.

Regarding the colossal amount of Russian losses reported by the Ukrainian General Staff, this is due to a combination of continued and abnormally aggressive Russian assaults in certain directions, specifically Dobropillia and Huliaipole; the falling of the leaves, which both help to actually eliminate more Russian resources but also help to verify them, which is a condition to add them to the daily count; and, very likely, some exaggeration.
