Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continue to advance in eastern Hrodivka and have now reached the intersection with Kholodna street.

This advance is probably supported by the likely Russian positions in the treelines to the east as they are situation on higher ground compared to the residential areas in Hrodivka.

The maximum advance of Russian forces was ~230m.

Colours for the map:
Red = confirmed Russian control
Yellow = confirmed Russian advances
Purple = likely Russian control

Reliable reports suggest that Russian forces have entered Toretsk city, and have established themselves in the high-rise district known as "Micro-raion 1"

If these reports are true, then it would indicate that the Russians are ~1.23km from the city centre. It is possible that Ukrainian forces maintain a presence in the northwestern part of the micro district along Lesnaya street, although by now I wouldn't be surprised if the Russians have taken full control over it.

The 105th regiment of the NM DPR claimed that Russia captured the town of Hrodivka in the Pokrovsk direction, with the AFU withdrawing 1.5km westwards.

This comes as reports came in of further Russian advances in the treelines south of Hrodivka, and that Russians had reached the central part of the settlement.

None of these reports have been confirmed and I will wait for visual confirmation before adding it to the map as usual.

Deepstate and the 3rd assault brigade have both reported that Ukrainian forces from the 3rd assault brigade have conducted a counterattack in Luhansk Oblast, recapturing a forested area and reaching the Zherebets river near Novovodyane.

This is yet to be confirmed and as far as I know, Russian sources haven't commented on it.

Update from Vovchansk:

Conflicting reports are coming out of the city.

Following reports of Ukrainian troop accumulations in high-rise buildings in the block known as "the citadel", Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted an unsuccessful counterattack on Russian positions in the Tax service building and nearby apartment buildings.

However, another report by a Russian source indicated that combat activity was low in the city by stating that there were only shootouts every now and then.

And one other source is reporting on very slow Russian progress, as they clear the buildings room by room in the Citadel, with them apparently taking multiple days to capture a single high-rise building.

Right now, it is best to wait for footage, and more reliable reports on the situation there instead of making assumptions based on limited information.
I will make another report when more information becomes available.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian infantry made a small advance west of Klishchiivka, capturing a fortification and two treelines in the process.

This advance took place on the tactical heights behind the village and will facilitate further advances in the direction of the Siversky Donets canal and will also protect the western flank of the Russian groupings in the newly occupied stronghold known as the "Fishtail".

The 15th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine has reportedly arrived near Novohrodivka to prop up the defence and delay the Russian advance on Pokrovsk.

It previously operated in the Mala Tockmachka-Robotyne area, where it mainly performed the functions of a barrier detachment and operational reserve.

It is reported that Russian forces have captured the villages of Krasnyi yar and Krutyi Yar in the Pokrovsk direction. When the Terykon falls, Russian forces will have full fire control over Northern Novohrodivka, significantly speeding up the offensive operations inside the town.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces have made significant progress in the Pokrovsk direction and have advanced into the centre of Novohrodivka.

Following Russian DRG activity being reported by volunteers evacuating civilians inside Novohrodivka, Russian forces launched their main assault down the windbreaks on either side of the railway line. From there, they consolidated their positions in the windbreaks before attacking into the Kishlak and Shankhay microdistricts in the northeastern part of the town.

The control over the residential areas quickly expanded to the high-rise apartment buildings, where the Russians gained a foothold in the first two buildings. They then advanced down Michurina street clearing buildings in the way of the town centre.

Ukrainian forces responded by sending at least one tank to the centre of the town, but it was hit by an RPG fired from a Russian position.

Overall, it appears that the AFU isn't putting up much resistance in Novohrodivka due to their critical manpower issues. The Russians are advancing across areas in a matter of hours which would have previously taken them weeks or even months.

There are also reports that Russian forces advanced in southeastern Novohrodivka and are attempting to flank the town centre from the south.

If this is true, we could see assaults on Marynivka take place in the near future.

This will probably then lead to assaults on the Terykons near Selydove. Once those and Marynivka fall, Selydove is finished.

Russian forces have reported captured the third to last fortification on the western bank of the Vovcha river and have advanced to the north of Kalynove.

Kalynove is reportedly being attacked from two directions now.

Ukrainian forces reportedly withdrew partly to Hrodivka and partly to Myrnohrad. This indicates that Mykolaivka may have been abandoned.

Information is coming in that Ukraine has concentrated 4 brigades and up to 100 armoured vehicles in Zaporizhzhia Oblast with the goal of reaching Vasylivka and Tokmak.

This could just be Russian doomers being Russian doomers though as this is not confirmed.

Following reports of Russian forces storming Karlivka, geolocated footage indicates that Russia has advanced inside the village.

It appears that following the capture of positions on the western bank of the chain of reservoirs branching off from the Karlovs'ke reservoir, Russian forces consolidated control over their positions. Then, yesterday, Russian forces launched a new attack in a westerly direction, advancing for ~600m and capturing new positions in the eastern dachas.

They are now right outside the main residential area, with reports indicating they are approaching the centre of the settlement. These attacks will likely link up with Russian advances from Kalynove.

Training.

A Ukrainian source reported that Russian forces continue to advance in central Novohrodivka and have captured the city council building.

In Malaya Locknya, Kursk Oblast, extremely fierce fighting is ongoing for the woman's prison. Ukrainian forces are trying to encircle the village from the east, while Russian marines are reportedly holding the line inside the settlement.

And already, information is being received that Russian forces advanced into northern Marynivka, however there is no information about positions being established yet.

Additionally, the status of the dachas to the southwest is unknown, but likely either in a grey zone or under Ukrainian control.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces broke through Ukrainian defences in the forests for ~1.62km and entered southern Toretsk, capturing positions in the high-school and nearby buildings.

This advance stretches out the Ukrainian garrison in Toretsk and means that they will now have to fight the Russians off from two directions. If the Terykons and the rest of the forests fall, the Toretsk front will completely fall apart.
