Russian troops were forced to retreat after an unsuccessful attempt to advance on the western outskirts of Bohorodychne.

On the Bakhmut front, Russian forces fired on the areas in the vicinity of Bakhmut, Soledar, Zaitseve, Yakovlivka, Kodema, Yurivka, Bakhmutske, Berestove, Pokrovske and Ivanhrad. Russian attack and army aircraft carried out airstrikes near Zaitseve, Soledar, Bakhmut, Berestove and Yakovlivka.

In addition, the Russian occupying forces conducted assault operations in an attempt to improve their tactical positions on the following axes: Striapivka – Bakhmutske, Pokrovske – Soledar, Pokrovske – Bakhmut, Volodymyrivka – Yakovlivka, Vidrodzhennia – Vershyna and Pokrovske – Vershyna. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have repelled the Russian assaults on each of those axes, forcing the Russians to retreat.

On the Avdiivka front, Russian forces used tubed and rocket artillery to shell the areas in and around Avdiivka, Pisky, Netailove, Nevelske and Niu-York. Russian attack aircraft carried out airstrikes near Niu-York, Krasnohorivka, Pisky and Marinka.

Russian forces conducted offensive operations in an attempt to break through the Ukrainian defence on several axes: Spartak – Avdiivka, Vesele – Pisky, Novoselivka Druha – Krasnohorivka, Oleksandrivka – Marinka, Kyrylivka – Pavlivka and Prechystivka – Novomaiorske. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces inflicted significant losses on the Russians and forced them to retreat.

Russian troops did not undertake any offensive operations on the Kramatorsk front, though they continued to use tanks guns and artillery to fire on the areas in the vicinity of Siversk, Serebrianka, Verkhnokamianske, Dronivka, Donetske, Hryhorivka, Riznykivka, Mykolaivka, Spirne, Zvanivka, Pereizne, Kalenyky, Dolyna and Vyimka.

On the Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia fronts, Russian forces fired on the areas in the vicinity of Novomykhailivka, Shevchenko, Velyka Novosilka, Zaporizhzhia, Zaliznychne, Novodanylivka, Zelene Pole and Charivne and conducted airstrikes on the areas around Temyrivka, Mali Shcherbaky, Novoandriivka, Vilne Pole, Novosilka, Vuhledar, Pavlivka and Prechystivka.

On the Sivershchyna front, Russian forces carried out artillery shelling in the vicinity of Yanzhulivka, Mykolaivka and Zaliznyi Mist (Chernihiv Oblast) and near Nova Huta (Sumy Oblast).

The Russians did not undertake active combat operations on the Kharkiv front, but used tubed and rocket artillery to shell the areas in and around Prudianka, Duvanka, Zolochiv and another 27 towns and villages. Russian aircraft conducted airstrikes near Verkhnii Saltiv, Lebiazhe and Husarivka.

On the Pivdennyi Buh front, Russian occupying forces were systematically deploying all of the firearms at their disposal to attack the units leading the Ukrainian defence as well as those in the rear positions. The Russians’ goal is to maintain their current positions and to prevent the Ukrainian Defence Forces from creating conditions favourable to mounting a counteroffensive and liberating temporarily occupied territories.

Russian army aircraft carried out airstrikes near Andriivka and the Russians also deployed UAVs to conduct aerial reconnaissance in southern Ukraine.

Four naval cruise missile carriers are on standby in the waters of the Black and Azov seas.
