БУТУСОВ ПЛЮС (06:47 UTC) reports that Ukrainian drone operators from the 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade conducted an aerial reconnaissance mission over a cemetery in the Pokrovsk district of Donetsk Oblast, captioning the footage "Uprising of the Dead, Russian Version."
Assessment: This is UNUSUAL. While cemeteries are sometimes used for military purposes (observation posts, ammunition storage), targeting a cemetery ITSELF is RARE and carries significant ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS. The footage may be used as propaganda.

Updated Recommendations
IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO AIR RAID ALERTS (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Activate all air defense systems in the threatened regions.
Issue public warnings and ENSURE ACCESS TO SHELTERS.
Prioritize the protection of CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE and POPULATION CENTERS.
Deploy all available intelligence assets to CONFIRM OR REFUTE the reported reduction in Ukrainian reinforcements to the KURSK REGION, and claims of advances in the SOUTHERN DONETSK and SUMY regions.
Use satellite imagery, signals intelligence, and human intelligence to ASSESS UKRAINIAN TROOP MOVEMENTS AND DISPOSITIONS in all mentioned directions.
Cross-reference information from MULTIPLE SOURCES to IDENTIFY ANY DISCREPANCIES or SIGNS OF DISINFORMATION.
Prioritize determining the ACTUAL SITUATION ON THE GROUND in these critical areas.
*Determine the SPECIFIC TARGET within the cemetery and the REASONING behind the attack.
Assess the potential for civilian casualties and DAMAGE TO CULTURAL PROPERTY.
Evaluate the compliance of the attack with INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW.
ADDRESS REPORTED DAMAGE AND CASUALTIES IN KHARKIV REGION (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Provide immediate assistance to CIVILIANS AFFECTED by the Russian strikes.
Assess the damage to ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE and BEGIN REPAIRS.
Reinforce air defenses in the region to COUNTER FUTURE ATTACKS.
CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND COUNTER RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE ACTIONS (HIGH PRIORITY, ONGOING ACTION):
Maintain strong defenses in all sectors, particularly where Russian advances are reported.
Prioritize air defense to counter Russian aerial attacks.
Utilize effective drone warfare for reconnaissance and targeting.
