Intersection of column 2 with block 7. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R7C2, R8C2 and R9C2 of column 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R8C3 - removing <2> from <235> leaving <35>

Intersection of column 8 with block 3. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R1C8, R2C8 and R3C8 of column 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C7 - removing <2> from <1238> leaving <138>

Intersection of column 9 with block 6. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R4C9, R5C9 and R6C9 of column 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R6C7 - removing <3> from <238> leaving <28>

Squares R1C8<38>, R7C8<36> and R8C8<368> in column 8 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <368>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.
