Active military operations continue in the Zaporizhia direction, during which Russian troops are exerting systematic pressure on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, achieving tactical successes in key areas of the front.

– As a result of successful offensive actions, Russian forces liberated about 8 square kilometers of territory in the area of ​​the village of Shcherbaki. This expands the operational control of the Russian Armed Forces and creates opportunities for further offensive.

- Assault units of the Russian Armed Forces have entered the outskirts of Malye Shcherbaki, where intense fighting continues. In the event of a successful breakthrough of the Ukrainian defense in this area, the Russian Armed Forces will have the opportunity to further advance to Kamenskoye and Orekhovo, creating a threat to the strategic encirclement of Ukrainian positions.
