Russian forces continue to make relatively quick progress in the Lyman direction and have captured a series of positions on the tactical heights.

Russian forces advanced in two main areas. In the north, they continued their spearhead attack and reached the outskirts of the village of Katerynivka. They occupied a series of forest positions, and gained a foothold on the forest next to the village.

Futher south, more progress was made, with Russian forces advancing through the forest plantations in the low-lying ground, taking up positions there. They also advanced along the treelines on the tactical heights, and captured positions there, before storming two nearby large trench fortifications, capturing them too.

+ ~7.74km² in favour of Russia.

1 Russian Su-57 departed from Akhtubinsk Air Base in Astrakhan Oblast. There is a threat of Kh-59/69 cruise missile launches in the near future.

1 cruise missile was recorded flying past Lebedyn, Sumy Oblast and towards Myrhorod, Poltava Oblast, but disappeared.

Could be a false target, or its flying low.

UPDATE: It was a false target.
