New footage released from China shows live-fire training exercises involving 300mm PHL-03 multiple launch rocket systems. The drills included coordinated rocket launches from several launch vehicles during field exercises conducted by Chinese military units. The PHL-03 is a long-range MLRS platform based on the Soviet Smerch design and is capable of delivering heavy rocket salvos against area targets. The released material captures launch sequences, firing positions, and maneuver operations during the training activity.

Archival combat footage filmed in 2016 near Aleppo shows an assault on a Syrian military base from the perspective of fighters from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham. The video captures close-quarters fighting inside and around the position during the battle. At one moment in the footage, a Syrian Arab Army soldier is shot at close range after apparently mistaking an opposing fighter for a fellow serviceman during the chaotic engagement. The material documents the intensity of urban and base combat that characterized parts of the Syrian conflict during that period.

Footage circulating online shows a Ukrainian FPV drone striking a Russian armored vehicle during combat operations. According to preliminary reports, one Russian soldier sustained severe injuries in the attack, including the loss of a limb. The video captures the moment of impact and the immediate aftermath around the damaged vehicle. FPV drones continue to play a major role in frontline operations, targeting armored vehicles, logistics, and troop positions with precision strikes across active combat zones.

Footage attributed to the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shows infantry units advancing through heavily damaged woodland terrain under active combat conditions. The video captures soldiers moving through deep mud, destroyed tree lines, and trench systems while operating in an environment affected by ongoing artillery and small arms fire. Explosions and debris are visible across the landscape, reflecting sustained combat activity in the sector. The material documents movement and tactical progression through difficult terrain under continuous battlefield pressure, with focus on navigation, coordination, and survival in active engagement zones.

Video footage released from the southern part of Gaza Strip shows urban combat operations involving Israeli military units conducting activities against Hamas militants in densely built-up areas. The material captures movement through damaged streets and buildings during active engagements in the urban environment. The footage documents close-range combat conditions, military maneuvering, and operational activity taking place during ongoing clashes in the southern sector of the region.

A combined missile and drone attack on Kyiv caused damage across all city districts, with over 40 impacted locations, at least 2 killed and more than 21 injured. In Shevchenkivskyi district, a high-rise residential building partially collapsed after a fire, and a shopping center was destroyed. Darnytskyi district reported damage to residential and non-residential buildings, a dormitory, service stations, and vehicles. Obolonskyi saw fires in multi-storey residential buildings and a private home. Dniprovskyi district was hit with damage to housing, warehouses, and garages. Other districts also reported impacts, including fires in high-rise buildings, strikes on commercial sites, and debris damage to residential infrastructure across the city.

Two separate videos recorded during the missile attack on Kyiv document different moments from the incident. The first footage shows a powerful explosion occurring directly near the entrance to an underground pedestrian crossing where civilians had taken shelter during the air raid. The second video captures a missile impact landing only a few meters away from a man standing in the area, recording the blast from extremely close distance. Both videos circulated widely online due to the proximity of civilians to the strike locations and the detailed footage captured during the attack on the city.

Rare close-range footage has surfaced showing the fall of the “Oreshnik” missile from an unusually short distance. The video captures the moment of descent and impact from a perspective located dangerously near the trajectory area, providing detailed visuals of the incident and surrounding environment during the final seconds before impact. The recording quickly spread across social media due to the proximity of the camera position and the high level of risk involved in obtaining the footage. The material is presented as raw observational footage documenting the event from ground level.

Archive first-person footage recorded during the repulsion of a Russian assault in the Serebrianskyi Forest area of Luhansk Oblast. The video was captured from the perspective of an infantry soldier identified as “Ares” from the “Charlie” company of the 2nd International Defense of Ukraine Legion, dated approximately spring 2024. It documents close-range combat conditions in a forested operational environment, showing infantry engagement during an attempted offensive and subsequent defensive actions within the sector. The material is presented as archival battlefield footage without additional context beyond the recorded events and location reference.

An unnamed participant in Ukraine’s Brave1 initiative has developed a compact AI-powered turret capable of independently detecting, tracking, calculating flight paths, and neutralizing drones — including FPV drones. The operator’s role is limited to authorizing the strike. The 20th K-2 Brigade became the first unit to use the turret in real combat conditions. More than 10 different units have already received the system for battlefield testing. The development highlights how technologies once associated mainly with advanced states and global defense giants are now being built in Ukraine by small local teams working with limited resources.
