At least two fires seen burning on NASA FIRMS in the city of Izyum, Kharkiv Oblast, following an overnight Russian Geran-2/4 drone attack.

Because the Ukrainian counteroffensive near Lyman has pushed the Russians significantly back from Izyum, Russia has turned to using longer-range drones, MLRS, and KAB glide-bombs to attack the city, rather than shorter-range MLRS, artillery, and FPV drones.

The eastern outskirts of Izyum used to be around 20 km from the frontline. Now it is around 47 km away.
