In the Novopavlivka direction, Russian forces achieved a localised breakthrough, and advanced west towards the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Russian forces advanced down the treelines and through the orchards, capturing positions there. They also captured the perpendicular treelines, as well as a small grove. From there, Russian forces advanced further west down a treeline, reaching the intersection with three other treelines, one of which leads north to the village of Kotlyarivka. Most of these captured positions are on the tactical heights.
A Russian armoured column then broke through to the low-lying ground and got within 3.1km of the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, although it is unclear whether or not positions were captured there.
+ ~2.68km² in favour of Russia.

A Russian Geran-2 drone struck the vicinity of a military hospital in Kharkiv City.
The claims by Ukrainian sources and media that the attack was directed at the military hospital and that the drone impacted the military hospital directly are baseless and false.
Under the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2286 (2016), you cannot attack or threaten the wounded and sick, medical personnel and humanitarian personnel exclusively engaged in medical duties, their means of transport and equipment, as well as hospitals and other medical facilities.
Damage was observed at the military hospital in the form of broken windows, minor damage to exterior entrances, and partial collapsing of disconnected cement brick walls. Additionally, nearby buildings sustained minor damage in the form of broken windows and doors being knocked out of their frames. The damage at the military hospital is not indicative of a direct strike by a Geran drone which has a payload of between 50-90kg. As seen in videos of the impacts of Gerans in Kharkiv last night, the explosions caused were far beyond what would be required to cause the damage seen at the military hospital. There is also the fact that there is no shattered glass seen on the steps or pavement, meaning that the shockwave came from outside the building, shattering the glass inwards, rather than the other way around.
It's also important to keep in mind that Ukrainian authorities are sure to show the most damage possible in these supposed Russian war crimes to further degrade Russia's image on the international stage and gain more sympathy for Ukraine and its people. The most damage that they showed in these images is what I explained above, and what you can see in the images below.
Additionally, the director of Kharkiv's emergency department Bohdan Hladkyk stated that there were no casualties, however the Ukrainian general staff reported on some injuries among Ukrainian servicemen who were being treated. If a Geran-2 drone was going to attack a military hospital and directly impact it with the intention of causing as much damage, and death among AFU personnel, then there would be more than a few injuries. These injuries were likely sustained from glass shattering inwards from the shockwave.
This is yet another example of the Ukrainian government lying. While all governments lie (especially wartime ones), it seems to be pro-Ukrainians who will gobble up the claims as truth the second they seem them.
