On August 12, we shared a geolocated video of a Russian T-90M tank in western Andriivka firing at Ukrainian positions. Based on that information, we moved the line of conflict to the west but maintained Andriivka was a gray zone.
On August 13, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported a Russian offensive near Andriivka failed. We noted we didn't adjust the map because - pictures or it didn't happen.
Oh, there are pictures now, and they'll be in tonight's SITREP.
Russia lost three T-90M tanks, two infantry fi...

We've updated the map and expanded the area of Ukrainian control at Robotyne in the Orikhiv area of operation (AO). There have been several videos released on the northern edge of the Russian stronghold showing Ukrainian troops moving with impunity with no sound of gunfire or artillery. Based on this intelligence, we adjusted the map. DPICM has played a role here.
The members of the 11th Motor Rifle Regiment (former 1st Army Corps of the DNR Vostok Brigade) remain surrounded in Urozhaine and the encirclement they are in is shrinking. W...

In Sergiev Posad, a 1600 square meter warehouse full of "pyrotechnics" adjacent to the Zagorsk Optical and Mechanical Plant exploded, causing major damage to the adjacent factory and blowing out windows and more than 300 meters away.

During my four hours of sleep, Ukraine launched multiple cruise missiles at three bridges that connect occupied Crimea to occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
The road bridges at Chongar and the road bridge at Henichesk, severely damaging all three. The Ukrainian strikes targeted the embankment/abutment regions on three bridges, with one miss, but that bridge received a center strike.
Traffic is suspended on all three structures which, based on the previous strike at Chongar, will be out of service for weeks. The bridge at Heniches...
