Meanwhile, during the last week, Russian army has continued to secure new areas in the ‘cauldron’ north of Velykyi Burluk. Russian forces have fully captured Mala Vovcha and Khrypuny, leaving Ukrainian troops from Varvarivka and Mykolaiva in a semi-encircled position, whilst the Russians apply pressure from the north and north-east. Between Okhrimivka and Zakharivka, a series of positions were taken following the Ukrainians’ withdrawal southwards, where Russian troops increased the pressure after capturing Blahodatne and entering Hrachovka. Furthermore, the Russians have taken Rublene and a number of positions along the international border and continue to shell the farms of Kreidyanka, where some Ukrainian soldiers are garrisoned.

Enjoying the national holiday with my loved ones. It's a day off, though I might post something later tonight. 🇪🇦

Yemen: Operation “And Allah is More Severe in Power and More Severe in Punishment” [11/10/2026]: 🇾🇪 Sana’a forces continued their eleventh day of the offensive to capture the city of Taiz provoking a collapse south of the pocket & began the advances at the suburbs of the city. In the morning, Ansarallah took control of Ashalihat Taiz, Suq Al-Dabab, Suq Mafraq Jabal Habashi, Bardad, and Kasara Al-Najd, physically cutting off the connection between Taiz and Najd Qusaym. Meanwhile, west of Taiz, Ansarallah captured Al-Sayahi, Milat, and Suq Miqhayah, as well as Al-Tabah Al-Hamra and the Hanjar Checkpoint.

This morning, Sanaa forces cut off the road connecting Taiz with Najd Qusaym and Al-Misrakh and continued advancing toward the latter two towns from the north along the road. For the time being, an assault on the city of Taiz is not expected, despite reports of fighting breaking out within the city, as it is necessary to take control of Jabal Sabr to secure a more advantageous position. However, it is most likely that the fate of Taiz will ultimately be resolved through negotiation. 🇾🇪

Yemen: Operation “And Allah is More Severe in Power and More Severe in Punishment” [10/10/2026]: 🇾🇪 Sana’a forces continued their tenth day of the offensive to capture the city of Taiz.

The fighting reached Wadi Al-Dabab, where the PLC forces were able to hold their positions. However, from the north, Sanaa forces resumed their advance west of the city of Taiz, penetrating the Al-Sayahi area and reaching Suq Miqhayah, while in Jabal Han, PLC forces also managed to repel the attacks.
