SITREP 607 is 49 pages long and a full report.

What's Happening

What's the big story? Russian forces take Pobieda, putting pressure on the Vuhledar AO.

What's the secondary story? Russian troops would be wise not to assemble in large groups while outside. HIMARS visits Russian trainees in occupied Kherson.

And if you excuse me, your CCO is going to catch up on sleep!
