Wrap Up
The frontline update was slightly quicker today despite quite a few pins on the map. There seems to be less sources talking about the frontline, possibly due to the Israel-Palestine conflict taking up a lot of information space bandwidth. Many people who would normally be mapping are concentrating elsewhere.
