Oof, Ukrainian forces are making a counter-attack between Dobropillya and Pokrovsk. 1,000-pound JDAM bombs are pummelling entire Russian positions into nothing. These are being air-launched by Su-27s as well, which should be well within Russian AA range, except all of the Russian AA units anywhere near this front have been destroyed.
Multiple gas stations in Donetsk city now saying they are out of fuel and shutting up shop. Simferopol in Crimea is also increasingly cut off, Ukrainian drones showing a "road of death" of burned-out fuel tankers extending around the city.
Clearer footage showing the Boikiy listing in its berth in Kronstadt, still on fire, with dozens of fire engines and hoses spraying water on it, rather ineffectually from the look of it. Kronstadt is famed in Russian history as playing a key role in both the revolutions of 1917, and later the betrayal of the navy by the Bolsheviks who massacred the sailors there (many of them veterans who'd helped the Bolsheviks come to power) in 1921 for demanding better conditions.
Ukraine’s Spalakh drone operators from the 28th Brigade claim to have brought Horlivka under full fire control. The city, located 40km from Ukrainian positions, behind Pokrovsk, has been surrounded by loitering drone units destroying any supplies trying to enter or leave the city. Horlivka is a major supply node for the main Russian offensive effort in Donetsk Oblast.

A Swedish vessel has boarded and captured Caffa, a Russian shadow fleet tanker, reportedly using intelligence gained by Ukraine.

One of the Russian patrol boats guarding the Kerch Strait Bridge has been hit by drones.
Ukrainian drones on the Lyman front are targeting key logistics routes over the Zherebets River, destroying Russian resupplies and dropping bridges and pontoons supplying the Lyman front. Some excited claims of a major Russian reversal on this front but nothing confirmed yet.
Russian milblogger Rybar claims that Ukrainian reinforcements have arrived south of Mala Tokmachka and are now pressing hard to recapture more of the N-08 highway. Russian retreats on this front had eased after additional reinforcements arrived, but Ukraine is pressing hard and still hoping to retake at least Kamyansk.
