Intersection of row 4 with block 6. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R4C7, R4C8 and R4C9 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R5C7 - removing <2> from <2679> leaving <679>

R5C9 - removing <2> from <267> leaving <67>

Intersection of row 7 with block 7. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R7C1, R7C2 and R7C3 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.
