CRITICAL CONFLICTS (🔴)

1. Russia–Ukraine War (Eastern and Southern Fronts)

• Exact Location: Donetsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy, Luhansk, Ukraine
• Primary Belligerents: Russian Armed Forces & Wagner/Contractors vs. Armed Forces of Ukraine
• Casualties (24h): At least 230 KIA, 460+ WIA; at least 6 civilians dead in various assaults [Probable, OSCE & regional reports]
• Conflict Type: Interstate War
• Duration (current phase): Spring-Summer offensive 2025
• Status: Overnight and early Monday, Russian drones and missiles struck Kyiv, damaging residential areas and injuring at least five. In Sumy, a Russian drone attack on a bus killed three and wounded 19. Mined roads caused further deaths. Ukrainian drone raids targeted St. Petersburg, forcing airport closures and causing civilian injuries in Russia. Russian advances near Pokrovsk continue, with heavy drone and artillery activity reported throughout the eastern front. Ukrainian forces maintain defensive lines with extensive drone warfare, but energy and transportation infrastructure continue to be targeted by Russia.
• Escalation Risk (72h): HIGH—Intensification of Russian advances (Pokrovsk/Donetsk) and continued strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure could bring major operational shifts, especially with Russia expanding its fiber-optic cable drone arsenal.
• International Stakeholders: NATO (air defense deployments, Black Sea surveillance), US and UK (defense support, diplomatic deadlines for Russia to de-escalate under threat of new sanctions), OSCE (monitoring ceasefire violations), UN (humanitarian condemnation)

2. Gaza War – Israel/Palestinian Territories

• Exact Location: Gaza Strip, Southern Israel (Ashkelon, Sderot, Deir al-Balah)
• Primary Belligerents: Israel Defense Forces vs. Hamas, Islamic Jihad (sporadic Hezbollah involvement)
• Casualties (24h): At least 78–170 KIA and 310+ WIA (estimates, many unverified due to access); 34 Palestinians confirmed dead by Israeli fire today
• Conflict Type: Hybrid (Conventional & Irregular)
• Duration (current phase): Since October 2024, severe escalation in June 2025
• Status: Heavy Israeli airstrikes across central and north Gaza killed dozens as humanitarian “pauses” for aid deliveries repeatedly failed or were ignored outside their designated windows. New rocket salvos from Gaza toward southern Israeli cities; hospitals overwhelmed, severe shortages of critical supplies, acute hunger and malnourished children observed prompting global outrage, including condemnation from close Israeli allies. Israeli military reiterated intention to continue offensive while allowing restricted aid during limited daily windows
• Escalation Risk: HIGH—Continued breakdowns of aid corridors and new Hezbollah/rocket activity risk regional escalation. Iranian leadership again warns of broader intervention if civilian deaths mount.
• International Stakeholders: UN (urging expanded aid access), US (mediator and supplier of defense needs), EU (diplomatic pressure), Egypt and Turkey (diplomacy/aid corridors), Red Cross/Aid NGOs (airdrop and aid failures)

3. Sudan Civil War

• Exact Location: Khartoum, Omdurman, Darfur, North Kordofan (El Fasher), West Kordofan, Sudan
• Primary Belligerents: Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) vs Rapid Support Forces (RSF) & Tribal Militias
• Casualties (24h): 60+ KIA, 140+ WIA (estimates; civilian deaths in Bara, El Geneina, El Fasher; multiple sources confirm at least 34 in last 24h in Omdurman and Kordofan)
• Conflict Type: Civil War/Ethnic
• Duration (current phase): Escalating since April 2023, record current violence in July 2025
• Status: SAF and RSF trading airstrikes and ground assaults in Khartoum and Omdurman as RSF presses offensives in Kordofan. UN confirmed RSF killed at least 60 civilians in North Kordofan’s Bara locality (since July 10); additional SAF airstrikes caused family deaths in West Kordofan. UN expresses renewed concern for El Fasher city in Darfur. Civilians face severe shortages and are being displaced en masse, seeking protection near the Chad border. Reports of ethnic cleansing and systematic attacks increase.
• Escalation Risk: CRITICAL—Regional spillover to Chad, CAR, and South Sudan increasingly likely. UN warns of possible “worst humanitarian crisis in Africa.”
• International Stakeholders: UN Human Rights Council (condemnation), AU/Arab League (mediation/aid convoys), Chad (border militarization), EU/US (sanctions, humanitarian intervention).

4. Myanmar Civil War

• Exact Location: Sagaing, Kachin, Shan, Rakhine States
• Primary Belligerents: Tatmadaw (Junta) vs Kachin Independence Army, Karenni, and alliances; Local People’s Defense Forces (PDFs)
• Casualties (24h): 80+ KIA, 140+ WIA (UN alarmed at spike, 33,000+ displaced in Shan/30,000+ in Sagaing, city of Kawlin just fallen to resistance forces)
• Conflict Type: Civil War/Ethnic Insurgency
• Duration (current phase): Since the February 2021 coup; severe intensification since May 2025
• Status: Rebel alliances seized Sagaing’s Kawlin after a four-day offensive, marking the greatest insurgent gains in three years. Junta troops have retaliated with heavy airstrikes and mass village burnings; villages emptied, hundreds of thousands displaced. Junta admits loss of towns and intensifying counteroffensives as armed opposition consolidates control over northern and western townships. Reported influx of drones (Turkish/Iranian origin) and artillery. Humanitarian corridors remain blocked; access for international relief prohibited.
• Escalation Risk: CRITICAL—Growing cross-border effects in Thailand and China; UN suspects further escalation with general elections cancelled for 2025 and ethnic violence surging.
• International Stakeholders: UN (statements, situation reports), ASEAN (fractured policy), India/China (border militarization/concerns).

HIGH PRIORITY CONFLICTS (🟠):

1. Yemen (Red Sea, Marib axis):

• Status: Houthi forces announce new ‘naval blockade’ phase against Israel, while continued ground fighting in Marib, Taiz, and Hudaydah sees drone and missile strikes disrupting oil infrastructure. Saudi-UAE airstrikes repelled but escalate overall violence. UN efforts to restart Oman peace talks are ongoing as both sides surge reinforcements. Taliban, IS-Khorasan, and other regional actors monitor for spillover effects.

2. Afghanistan (Taliban–IS-KP rivalry):

• Status: Spike in complex bombings in Kabul attributed to IS-KP, targeting Taliban checkpoints and Shia communities. Taliban authorities conduct counter-terror sweeps in Nangarhar; ISKP increasing capacity for high-profile and international-targeted attacks, testing Taliban claims of legitimacy and control.

• Morocco–Western Sahara: Polisario reports shelling; Morocco denies; confirmed as low intensity.
• Georgia–Russia: NATO military exercises underway; Russian observers deployed.
• Armenia–Azerbaijan: Routine ceasefire breaches, humanitarian corridors stalled.

RESOLVED IN LAST 24h (🟢):

• Thailand–Cambodia: ASEAN-brokered ceasefire after six days of heavy combat (Surin/Siem Reap). 44 dead, 95 wounded according to Red Cross/ASEAN joint field reports. Both sides withdraw heavy arms; joint patrols restored.
• India–Pakistan (Kashmir): OIC-backed ceasefire in Tangdhar holds after 48hr. Ceasefire compliance high, but risk of relapse remains.

CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS (24h, Notable):

• Ukraine: 93+ violations incl. drone and cluster munition usage.
• Gaza: Multiple violations; UN convoy struck outside humanitarian pause.
• India–Kashmir: Three documented LoC breaches, MOD confirmed.

TERRORIST ATTACKS:

CYBER WARFARE INCIDENTS:

• “Salt Typhoon” APT campaign targeting telecoms in Asia-Pacific (notably Singapore Telecom); suspected China-linked operations.
• US/EU utilities probed—joint alerts issued to mitigate threat escalation.

MILITARY MOBILIZATIONS:

• NATO: Air defense and ISR asset increases in Eastern Europe, especially Romania and Poland, correspond to Russian posture escalation.
• India–China: India moves additional troops to Arunachal Pradesh amidst PLA buildup along eastern border region.

NUCLEAR/WMD DEVELOPMENTS:

• No nuclear or radiological incidents detected in 24h. Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia plant briefly lost grid power after shelling but remains intact as per IAEA/CTBTO.
• Iranian nuclear rhetoric/defensive postures reported, with Israel and US maintaining heightened alert.

PEACE AGREEMENTS/INITIATIVES:

• Thailand–Cambodia: ASEAN mediation yields rapid ceasefire, now under observation.
• India–Pakistan: Regional OIC-facilitated verification ongoing; Kashmir sector calm as of this report.

INTERNATIONAL RESPONSES:

• US/UK announce fresh arms deliveries to Ukraine, additional air defense units deployed regionally.
• AU prepares peace mission for Sudan.
• UN security sessions held for Yemen, Gaza; urgent calls for expanded humanitarian aid access.

INTELLIGENCE GAPS

• Severe reporting difficulty in Sudan’s Darfur and Burmese conflict zones due to blackouts and hostilities.
• Russian and Ukrainian casualty verification complicated by ongoing combat and propaganda.
• Insurgent/terrorist actions in Venezuela and border regions remain largely opaque.

72-HOUR FORECAST

• Highest Escalation Risks: Russia–Ukraine (fresh offensives, possible Dnipro push), Sudan (RSF consolidation in Omdurman/Darfur), Gaza (degradation of aid corridors), Myanmar (resistance expands gains).
• Potential Flashpoints: South China Sea (fleet maneuver accident), India–China border (incursion risk), renewed Hezbollah-Israel rocket/CUAV exchanges.
• De-Escalation Chances: ASEAN monitoring of Thai–Cambodian truce, OIC dialogue on Kashmir, targeted humanitarian adoption in Gaza/Sudan if access improves.

ANALYST CONFIDENCE LEVELS

• VERIFIED: 10 multi-source corroborated reports (gov/NGO/OSINT).
• PROBABLE: 17 detailed open-source reports, some local cross-checks.
• UNCONFIRMED: 7 single-source or unverified social/field items.
