Squares R3C5 and R7C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <28>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C5 - removing <8> from <1389> leaving <139>

R9C5 - removing <8> from <1368> leaving <136>

Intersection of row 7 with block 8. The values <258> only appears in one or more of squares R7C4, R7C5 and R7C6 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain these values.

R9C6 - removing <8> from <368> leaving <36>

Intersection of column 3 with block 4. The values <147> only appears in one or more of squares R4C3, R5C3 and R6C3 of column 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain these values.

R4C1 - removing <1> from <1358> leaving <358>

R5C1 - removing <1> from <13589> leaving <3589>

R5C2 - removing <1> from <138> leaving <38>

R6C1 - removing <1> from <189> leaving <89>

Intersection of column 4 with block 5. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R4C4, R5C4 and R6C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R5C5 - removing <1> from <139> leaving <39>

Squares R3C5, R3C6, R7C5 and R7C6 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <28>.
