On the eastern flank of Pokrovsk, Russian forces have made new advances, capturing the village of Zelene Pole.
Russian forces advanced in two main areas. In the north, they advanced from their positions on the eastern side of the gulley, and moved northwest, into Zelene Pole, capturing it. They also advanced along the southern bank of the reservoir, and capturing treeline positions there.
The other area where they advanced was to the south, where Russian forces captured new positions in 4 separate treelines and are beginning to level out the frontline towards the east,
It's likely that Russia wants to attack the village of Tarasivka from two directions, hence why they chose to attack Zelene Pole now, shortly after the nearby village of Vodyane Druhe was captured.
+ ~2.01km² in favour of Russia.

On the eastern flank of Pokrovsk, Russian forces marginally advances, reaching the eastern outskirts of Malynivka.
Russian forces advanced west from their newly captured positions at the overpass on the Pokrovsk - Kostyantynivka highway, capturing positions in the nearby forest plantations. Ukrainian forces are now holding a defence on the eastern edge of Malynivka.

On the western flank of Pokrovsk, Russian forces began launching counterattacks against previously lost positions, taking certain areas under their control.
In the west, Russian forces pushed Ukrainian forces out of their positions in the southern street of the village of Kotlyne, forcing them to withdraw to the treelines further east. They also recaptured the section of the railway line which was previously in the grey zone.
Further east, Russian forces began attacking Ukraine's southern flank in the village of Pishchane. After a series of attacks with groups of infantry, Russian forces managed to recapture the Pishchane industrial zone, therefore threatening the encirclement of Ukrainian forces in and around the village.
+ ~2.14km² in favour of Russia.

In western Donetsk Oblast, Russian forces began to make slow progress in the northeastern part of the village of Udachne.
Russian forces advanced from their foothold in the northeastern-most houses which they retained, despite Ukrainian counterattacks here. They moved slightly further west, taking up new positions in the houses there,

Russian forces continue to make progress in western Donetsk Oblast and have captured the village of Zaporizhzhya.
Russian forces advanced from positions in the central part of the village, capturing the agricultural buildings on the northern outskirts. They then advanced westwards, towards the western outskirts of the village, taking up positions in the houses on the perpendicular street.
It's likely that in the near future, Russia will begin to attack the village of Preobrazhenka from the south, while they simultaneously attack from the northeast.

In the Bahatyr direction, Russian forces made new advances, taking up new positions on the tactical heights north of Andriivka.
They advanced from positions at the northern outskirts of Andriivka, along a treeline, reaching the intersection with another treeline, which Russian forces gained a foothold at the southern end of.
They then advanced slightly further west along another treeline, while also taking up positions in the forest plantations at the ridgeline.

In the Bahatyr direction, Russian forces made new advances towards the village of Rozlyv.
They advanced from their positions in the treeline next to the road to Rozlyv, capturing a section of the forest plantations, as well as two small treelines.
This puts Russia at around 2.25km from the southern outskirts of Rozlyv, similar to the eastern lines which may approach the village in the near future.

Russian forces advanced on a wide front in the Komar direction, taking over a series of treeline positions.
They advanced north from three points, moving for up to 1.5 km in some places, while also branching off onto the perpendicular treelines. This forced any remaining Ukrainian formations to withdraw, due to the risk of being encircled.
Ukraine has serious manpower shortages on this section of the frontline, hence why Russian forces are able to push through Ukrainian lines with much more ease than on other parts of the frontline.
+ ~5.34km² in favour of Russia.
