The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported carrying out airstrikes against Hezbollah weapons storage facilities and military infrastructure in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, the strikes were aimed at preventing attempts by Hezbollah to rebuild its military capabilities. The military stated that one of the targeted sites was embedded within a civilian area, which it described as evidence of Hezbollah’s use of civilians as human shields. The IDF emphasized that advance warnings and additional precautionary measures were taken in an effort to minimize harm to civilians. Israeli officials said these activities constitute a violation of the existing understandings between Israel and Lebanon and pose a direct threat to Israel’s security. The IDF added that it will continue to act against any threats to the State of Israel.

Myanmar has been in a state of civil war since the military coup in February 2021, when the army overthrew the elected government and seized power. Since then, the ruling military junta has been fighting multiple resistance forces across the country, creating a constant conflict zone update and a grim situation on the ground for civilians. In Kachin State and the Sagaing Region, the junta is conducting field operations against: 1. the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) — an ethnic armed group seeking autonomy, 2. People’s Defense Forces (PDF) — local resistance units formed after the coup. Alongside regular troops, the junta uses pro-government militias, including the Warazup militia and the Shanni Nationalities Army, to attack rebel-held areas, further complicating the operational environment. The fighting is part of a wider internal war in which the military relies on force and allied militias to suppress resistance, while affected communities face ongoing displacement, airstrikes, and widespread destruction. This serves as war documentation and a field report on urban frontline areas, the humanitarian situation, and the conflict impact on cities and rural regions alike.

The United States has seized another tanker linked to Russia’s so-called shadow fleet. US Coast Guard forces boarded the tanker Veronica after a week-long pursuit. The vessel was not carrying oil at the time of interception. According to reports, the tanker had changed its name to Galileo and switched its flag to Russian two weeks earlier in an apparent attempt to avoid boarding by US authorities.

Iran protests continue as the nationwide movement enters its third week, marked by widespread unrest and crackdowns. This conflict zone update reflects the situation on the ground, based on ongoing conflict monitoring and open-source reporting. Videos from Urmia and Tehran show large crowds in urban frontline areas, as a near-total internet blackout limits communication and international coverage. Initially driven by economic grievances, the demonstrations have expanded into broader political demands. Clashes with security forces have impacted affected communities and worsened the humanitarian situation. Casualty figures remain hard to verify, with rights groups reporting hundreds killed and thousands detained. This serves as concise war documentation focused on civil impact.

The Kosovo War (1998–1999) was an armed conflict between Yugoslav forces and ethnic Albanian insurgents, followed by NATO intervention. The war resulted in widespread displacement of civilians and ended with Kosovo being placed under international administration.

Video footage shows U.S. forces boarding and seizing the oil tanker Olina, which was transporting Venezuelan and Russian oil in violation of sanctions. The vessel carried crude and petroleum products from Russian ports in the Baltic, Black Sea, and Pacific regions, with deliveries mainly destined for China, India, and Turkey.

While global attention remains focused on protests inside Iran, fighting has escalated again in northern Syria. State-backed forces aligned with the Jolani administration have launched attacks on SDF Kurdish units and civilian areas in Aleppo, particularly in the predominantly Kurdish neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh. Heavy shelling has forced tens of thousands of Kurdish residents to flee, worsening an already severe humanitarian situation.

Mass protests have continued for over a week amid a sharp currency collapse, with several cities reportedly falling under protester control. HRANA reports 36 people killed, including two security personnel, and more than 2,000 detained. Gunfire is reported in Tehran as protesters clash with security forces, set vehicles and government buildings on fire, while authorities respond with live ammunition. A police commander in Iranshahr province has been killed.
