- A working Bradley was captured by Russians in Zaporizhzhia region.
High-Ranking Russian Commander Killed

Overnight Strikes
- 15 Shahed drones were launched across Ukraine overnight, with 11 shot down. The 4 that got through caused unknown damage.
- Explosions were reported in Berdyansk, Skadovsk, Tokmak and Chernihivka in Russian-occupied areas.
- Sumy Oblast on the northern border was hit 225 times by artillery in one day. The Ukrainian government demanded evacuation of everyone within 5km of the border in Sumy.
Russian Commanders
- Major General Popov, commander of the 58th Army, was removed and sent to the front lines by Gerasimov for "alarmism" after he raised the need to rotate units that have suffered significant losses. Popov threatened to report the issue directly to Putin.
- Despite rumours, there is still no evidence that Gerasimov himself has been moved to a different position.
Ukrainian Commander Resigns
Valery Markus, a popular Ukrainian commander with a large online following, announced his resignation to a lower position due to disagreement with command staff decisions on the use and development of the 47th Brigade. While some see this as concerning, others say it is just an emotional outburst and not unusual, cautioning against making a mountain out of a molehill.
