Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the Toretsk direction and finally captured the town of Pivnichne.

Following an assault on the Pivnichna mine, Russian forces managed to dislodge Ukrainian positions in the residential area further east. It is unknown who controls the nearby terykon right now, however.

Additional geolocated footage shows that Russian forces managed to advance into eastern Toretsk and captured positions in the high-rise micro-district and the pharmacy, advancing for ~970m. However, based on reliable reports, it appears that Russia has captured the entirely of the micro-district, although there is no visual confirmation of this yet.

Overall, Russian forces continue to dislodge Ukrainian forces from positions and are apparently progressing in Toretsk without much resistance. This plus the advance into the city further south indicate that Toretsk will fall in a matter of weeks.

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

It is reported that Russian forces captured the Ukrainian stronghold along the O0532 road and the surrounding treelines and fields.

If true, this could mean that assault operations on Vodyane are imminent.

I have a feeling that Vodyane might be the next target for Russian forces. They have been advancing in the direction of the village for some time now and capturing it would offer strategic value.

Vodyane is situated on a small hill overlooking a gulley in which the O0532 road runs through. If the Russians choose to go down the path of attacking Vuhledar along the O0532 road, Ukrainian forces will have fire control and full surveillance over a small stretch of this road.

Additionally, depending on how much manpower is in the area at the time, there may even be small Ukrainian counterattacks conducted.

It is reported that Russian forces are advancing on the flanks of Kalynove, likely in an attempt to cut the E50 highway again and encircle the settlement.

This could suggest that the original head on assaults from the north were unsuccessful, possibly due to one of the tributaries of the Vovcha river being in the way. Advancing on the western flank allows the Russians to bypass the water obstacle.

As an interesting fact on this front, Russian forces are now closer to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast than to the city of Donetsk.

According to a Ukrainian source, Russian forces have captured most the Novohrodivka town centre and are conducting pincer movements on the park area. If true, the main part of the town is about to fall.

Russian sources are reporting that after 2 weeks of fierce fighting, Russian forces have finally been pushed out of Malaya Locknya in Kursk Oblast.

It is reported that Russian forces have entered the first houses of Kalynove from the east. This indicates that the second to last Ukrainian stronghold on the western bank of the Vovcha river has either been captured or is in a grey zone.

Kalibr launches were recorded. I’m not at home right now but when I am I will make live maps of it.

There are a lot of drones active.

I think this is a real strike in coordination with Ukraine’s Independence Day.
