Avdeevsky direction: advance of the RF Armed Forces on a broad front.
To the west of Avdievka, Russian troops are conducting offensive operations in several sectors from Berdychi to Pervomaisky.
In the Berdychi area, the enemy is exerting flank pressure from Novobakhmutovka, counterattacking with infantry groups supported by armored vehicles. However, at the moment the village is almost completely under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Between Berdychi and Orlovka it was also possible to reduce the “pocket” that arose after the first days of the breakthrough to populated areas.
From Orlovka, Russian units managed to enter the southern outskirts of Semenovka: according to preliminary information, they took control of at least half of the village. At the same time, the enemy retains the possibility of supplying his forces through landings along the O0542 highway and the gully to the north.
To the west of Tonenkoye, the Russian Armed Forces were also able to advance in the direction of Umansky, although they have not yet been able to reach the outskirts of the settlement. However, without the occupation of Semenovka and an attack from Orlovka through the vicinity of the S051801 highway, we can hardly expect the start of battles for Umanskoye.
Russian troops are also advancing in the Pervomaisky area. Judging by footage of objective enemy control, the Russian Armed Forces launched an attack north of Staroavdeevsky Pond on the Vodyanaya River and are fighting for positions north of Utyatnik Pond, which are located less than a kilometer from the eastern outskirts of Netailovo.

Battle of Chasov Yar: liberation of Bogdanovka.
In the Bakhmut direction, Russian troops continue to expand the zone of control towards Chasov Yar. According to preliminary data, units of the Russian Armed Forces occupied the southwestern outskirts of Bogdanovka.
To the north of the settlement, Russian military personnel advanced at least to the farm, and from the south they reached the Orlova tract. The enemy retreated from Bogdanovka towards Kalinovka, on the eastern outskirts of which, according to some information, fighting broke out in the area of Lesnaya Street.
At the same time, Ukrainian formations are building a new line of defense along the coastline of the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal, where a mine-explosive barrier strip was previously installed.
On the eastern outskirts of Chasov Yar, clashes are taking place in the area of Gorbatov Street in the Kanal microdistrict. In recent days, servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces have been fighting near school No. 77, but so far there is no footage to confirm the control of the Russian Armed Forces over the building.
The Ukrainian command intends to hold the defense in the remaining part of the Kanal microdistrict for as long as possible until the defense line at the Seversky Donets-Donbass water barrier, to the west of which most of the city is located, is finally ready.
The positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Chasov Yar are constantly being attacked by artillery strikes, and aviation is “working out” multi-storey buildings where the enemy has equipped observation points and positions of ATGM operators. There are also reports of hits on enemy temporary deployment points within the city.
To the west of Krasnoe, Russian paratroopers are fighting on the outskirts of Seversky Donets - Donbass. At the same time, assault troops are trying to occupy dominant heights in the area of ??the Stupki-Golubovskie-2 nature reserve.
Despite the successes of recent days, heavy fighting is still ahead. At the moment, the goal of the Russian Armed Forces is to cross the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal, along which a new line of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is being built.
If successful, the position of the Ukrainian formations will become significantly more complicated and the enemy command will face the question: is it worth making another media “fortune” out of the Hours of Yar, or is it better to preserve the already bloodless units, taking them to new frontiers.
13:35 Statement by the head of the press center of the Dnepr group -video.
In the Kherson direction, units of the Dnepr group of troops (forces) continued assault operations in the area of the settlements of Rabotino and Verbovoye, defended the left bank of the Dnieper River, launched fire strikes on enemy objects, equipment and artillery on the right bank, and fought against enemy UAVs.
