Russia has begun using an improved modified Geran-5 jet-drone to attack Ukraine, known as the "Geran-5 K5-K". This modification adds an optical navigation system, and increases the drone's range, speed, and flight altitude.

Two Palestinian fighters carried out a shooting attack near the West Bank city of Hebron, injuring five Israelis, including IDF soldiers. Two of the Israelis are in critical condition. The exchange of fire lasted over 20 minutes, and ended with both Palestinians being killed by Israeli soldiers. Israeli media reports that the Palestinian fighters targeted an Israeli reservists' battalion, and may have used the weather conditions to approach unnoticed. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir claims that the Palestinians were planning a much larger attack in the future. A large quantity of ammunition was reportedly found inside the vehicle used by the gunmen. The entire city of Hebron was subsequently placed under lockdown by Israeli forces, while several surrounding villages and a highway were blocked off.

Missile in Chernihiv Oblast, flying towards Kyiv. It's not a ballistic missile. I'm not sure what type it is. Edit: it disappeared. It was detected flying at a speed of 1,200 km/h near the Chernihiv/Kyiv regional border.

Another Iskander-M on Kyiv/Brovary. Same course. Edit: disappeared near Kyiv, possibly Russian electronic warfare work.
Iskander-M ballistic missile from Bryansk is flying to Kyiv Edit: explosion near Kyiv
The fact that the body exchange ratio is still largely the same as it was earlier this year (around 10:1 Ukraine:Russia) indicates that Russia did not take heavy casualties during Ukraine's counteroffensives near Komar, Dnipropetrovsk, and Lyman. I still do not think that Ukraine is suffering anywhere near 10 times the losses Russia is, as Ukraine was advancing in areas with a lighter Russian presence with less soldiers' bodies to capture, and with much weaker air and fire support to help with this. I still hold that the true ratio is probably much closer to 1:1 than either side wants to admit. The continuation of this 10:1 trend suggests that, apart from the 90+ PoWs captured by Ukraine in the Lyman direction, Russia was likely able to avoid suffering large-scale casualties from the counteroffensives. And this 10:1 ratio remains, despite Russia carrying out very heavy and costly assault operations on other parts of the frontline, especially in the Dobropillya and Orikhiv directions.
⚡️🇺🇦🇪🇺 FT: NATO will allow Ukraine to buy weapons, ammunition and military equipment through its centralised procurement agency, the Nato Support and Procurement Agency, potentially allowing Kyiv to obtain supplies faster and more cheaply. The move builds on an April decision allowing Ukrainian defence companies to compete in NSPA tenders. Last week the agency held an industry event in Kyiv attended by about 150 Ukrainian firms. @wfwitness
The explosions could also be heard from the eastern part of Kyiv.
There is a threat of repeated ballistic missile launches from Bryansk.
