Despite the general decrease in the intensity of hostilities due to bad weather, the enemy is trying to attack the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in the area between Novofedorovka and Verbov. Under the cover of fog, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to gain a foothold in the forest regiments, using light armored vehicles to transport assault groups.
The movement routes of infantry and equipment do not change, which allows our soldiers to repel enemy attacks, preventing enemy attack aircraft from approaching forward positions. ATGM crews and mortars are actively working against the enemy.
The work of artillery on both sides does not weaken, and an active counter-battery fight is underway. However, weather conditions make it difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to deliver ammunition, and the accuracy of their attacks has dropped due to a decrease in UAV activity.

Along Kleshcheevka. Over the past few days, our troops have made progress and progress in our favor to the west of the railroad. The enemy reports the loss of the Kleshcheevka railway station. However, the southern part of the village, the key height to the west of Kleshcheevka and the adjacent plantings are still under enemy control, so it is too early to say that Kleshcheevka has completely returned under our control. If we take the height, then the enemy himself will be forced to retreat from the remains of Kleshcheevka. Until then, it doesn’t make much sense to completely occupy it, especially since almost all the houses in Kleshcheevka have been destroyed and defending there, whether for us or for the enemy, is problematic.
