Squares R4C4, R5C5 and R6C4 in block 5 form a simple naked triplet. These 3 squares all contain the 3 possibilities <378>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C6 - removing <38> from <1358> leaving <15>

R6C6 - removing <38> from <1358> leaving <15>

Intersection of row 8 with block 8. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R8C4, R8C5 and R8C6 of row 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R9C5 - removing <6> from <2368> leaving <238>

Intersection of row 9 with block 9. The values <69> only appears in one or more of squares R9C7, R9C8 and R9C9 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain these values.
