In western Donetsk Oblast, Russian forces completed the capture of Sribne, and entered the village of Zaporizhzhya.
After establishing control over the southern half of Sribne, Russian forces went on to clear out the main Ukrainian positions in the northeast of the village, by advancing from the south, and possibly the north.
They then began attempting to break through Ukrainian positions in the eastern part of Zaporizhzhya, slowly moving through houses, taking up positions there.

Russian forces continue to make progress in the eastern part of Andriivka, and have begun assault operations from a new direciton.
While the main attacks occurred from the initial Russian foothold in the northeastern houses of the village, Russian forces have now begun attacking from the newly captured large trench fortification on the eastern approaches to Andriivka. They advanced west, quickly gaining a foothold in the first houses, and begun to push deeper along three streets, taking up new positions further west.

Russian forces are continuing to advance in the salient west of Kurakhove, making important advances in the village of Dachne.
Russian forces advanced from positions in the northern part of the village, moving generally in a southwestern direction towards the highway, capturing the main park, as well as three more residential streets.
Ukrainian forces still likely maintain limited positions in the school and single high-rise building on the northwestern part of Dachne, but once that falls, a withdrawal of Ukrainian formations from the western and southwestern parts of the village will become more difficult than it already is.

In the Kherson direction, Russian forces recently advanced over the Staryi Dnipro River.
They advanced from positions near the Konka River, establishing a bridgehead on Bolshyi Potemkin Island, capturing positions in the dachas. They then advanced northeast, capturing more houses.
This area was previously in the grey zone, with little to no Ukrainian presence. The main issue with making advances here is establishing forward troop concentration points in the open and often soggy areas (depending on the tide and weather) as well as actually crossing the rivers. Ukraine also has a drone superiority on this sector of the frontline as well as great coordination between units. This allows them to methodically kill groups of Russian soldiers who cross the river who usually lack Electronic Warfare (EW).

Despite reports of reduced fighting in the Pokrovsk direction, the heaviest fighting in Donetsk Oblast continues in the key village of Udachne, where both Russian and Ukrainian forces are reportedly conducting assault operations.
Ukrainian forces have reportedly launched a new series of counterattacks, after being pushed back in the south, this time targeting Russian positions in the northeastern houses of the village. I have decreased the grey zone in favour of Ukraine, after it became obvious that no fighting was occurring on the ground in most of the northern part of Udachne.
Meanwhile in the south, Russian forces apparently continuing their attempts to knock Ukrainian forces out of the rest of their stronghold at the railway station, without successes. It's possible that their foothold in the first buildings of the station was eliminated as I haven't heard anything about it since it was first reported by the Ukrainian side.
Both sides have increased their drone activity in the village, and in fact the whole Kurakhove-Pokrovsk sector, for both reconnaissance and combat operations.

Russian forces continued their advance in the salient west of Kurakhove, bypassing the village of Dachne.
They advanced from their positions in the treeline south of Dachne, reaching a graveyard, and two adjacent treelines, where they took up new positions. Russian forces also moved north along the road towards the southwestern part of Dachne, as well as along the parallel treeline, where sappers set up a mine trap, suggesting an increased grey zone.
This advance means that Ukrainian forces stationed in western Dachne are now at risk of being hit from behind.

Russian forces continued to advance in the village of Andriivka, making gains on a wide front.
In the north, they advanced west to new positions in the forest plantations and houses at the bottom of the hill and also took up new positions in the residential area further south.
To the southeast, Russian forces expanded their zone of control on three streets, with varying degrees of success due to the nature of the frontline. They also expanded their zone of control west, along the northern bank of the Orlova River.
Most of the village is now either under Russian control, or in the grey zone, where small groups of Russian infantry attempt to advance. Ukraine has also increased their drone activity, striking Russian assault groups, after probably pulling back their main forces to the rear of Andriivka, as well as to the intersection of the two highways.

In western Donetsk Oblast, Russian forces continue to make progress, and a developing a northern flank for the village of Preobrazhenka.
Russian forces advanced from positions south of Nadiivka, expanding their zone of control in the orchards there, taking up new positions here and in the treelines. They also created a small buffer zone west of the southern street of Nadiivka.
The goal is to create a north flank to Preobrazhenka, while simultaneously grinding through Ukrainian defences in the village of Zaporizhzhye, probably to envelop Preobrazhenka from the north and south.

Russian forces recently intensified their offensive operations on the eastern flank of Pokrovsk near the village of Yelyzavetivka.
Russian forces advanced from positions southwest of the village, capturing two treelines and 2 forest plantations, leveling out the frontline to run along the low-lying ground. Ukrainian forces retreated across the gulley and shifted their focus to defending the high ground west and southwest of Yelyzavetivka.
Russian infantry attempted to cross the gulley and take up positions in the forest plantation on the opposite heights but were repelled by Ukrainian forces with the help of FPV drones.
Yelyzavetivka itself remains in the grey zone due to its position in the low-lying ground with the tactical heights surrounding it.

In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces advanced towards the village of Stupochky, and are approaching its eastern outskirts.
Russian forces advanced from their trench positions in the large, forested area, capturing the adjacent forest, which previously served as a buffer zone east of Stupochky.
The fighting is extremely slow and grinding here, with both sides taking heavy casualties. Ukrainian forces have brought in a lot of FPV drones, Quadcopters and Baba Yaga drones, as well as ATGMs, meaning Russian movements are mainly carried out with infantry, presumably small groups.
Elsewhere, Russian forces consolidated their positions in the chalk quarry to the northwest, and are actively assaulting the Ukrainian positions in the forests on either side of the highway to Kostyantynivka, where Ukrainian forces are extremely dug in.

Russian forces continue to expand their bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskil River, this time to the south towards Kupyansk.
In the north, Russian forces captured the rest of the section of the railway line which was already in the grey zone. They also expanded their zone of control near the ammonia pipeline maintenance complex, (which they had maintained control over with little to no movement for some time) and captured positions in the forests, therefore pushing Ukrainian forces off one of the tactical heights.
Further south, Russian forces advanced to the forest plantations north of the Kalynove tract and captured positions on the northern edge of the small gulley. Ukrainian forces retreated to positions in the forests to the south where they are mounting a defence of the village of Holubivka.

Russian forces recently established two more bridgeheads on the western bank of the Oskil River, this time near the international border between Russia and Ukraine.
In the northeast, they crossed the Oskil River and took up limited positions in the forest plantations directly adjacent to the river, near the village of Topoli.
To the southwest, Russian forces created a larger bridgehead, capturing some of the forest plantations adjacent to the river, but were able to expand on this, moving uphill, and capturing positions at the edge of the tactical heights. This will make it more difficult for Ukraine to dislodge them.

Correction of the frontline in favour of Ukraine:
At some point, Ukrainian forces counterattacked in the village of Starytsya, and entered the neighbouring village of Buhruvatka.
They advanced from positions in the forests on the tactical heights, and captured the eastern section of Starytsya. For now, the central part of Starytsya appears to be in the grey zone, while the western part remains under Russian control.
Ukrainian forces then went on to enter Buhruvatka from the west, capturing around a third of the village.
This now puts any remaining Russian formations on the main street in a difficult position, as they are being pushed towards the Vovcha River, where Ukraine holds positions on the opposite bank. At some point, unless they counterattack, Russian forces will withdraw to defensive positions in the north, that's if - of course - they haven't already.
