18:41 Two civilians were injured today in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk city from attacks by Ukrainian Armed Forces drones, Mayor Kulemzin reported.

17:44 Military expert Boris Rozhin reported on the advance of the Russian Armed Forces:

Ocheretino region: after the liberation of Sokol and Voskhod (not yet officially announced), the Russian Armed Forces continue to press west, taking several more strongholds and landings.

Volchansk: The Russian Armed Forces have pushed back the enemy in the central part of the city, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces have expanded their zone of control on the eastern outskirts of Volchansk. The fighting, as before, is essentially of a counter nature. The Russian Armed Forces are seeking to establish control over the central part of the city.

The enemy, in turn, is trying to counterattack using the transferred reserves in order to push the RF Armed Forces into the northern part of the city, and if they are lucky, to bring Volchansk back under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The prolongation of these battles in the current circumstances is more advantageous for the RF Armed Forces, since the enemy reserves transferred here are tied to these battles and cannot be quickly transferred to Chasov Yar, New York or Ocheretino, where there is an obvious shortage of reserves to stabilize the front

"The battalion commander and I decided not to wait, but to enter. And we were the first to fly into the industrial zone, that is, there were no troops there before us. We entered, dug in, and gave passage to others. The enemy, in turn, simply did not expect us there. So, we dug in and began to clear, pulling in other units. No engineering preparation, only trenches were made on the outskirts, for which we are very grateful to the enemy.
