Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced east of Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Here, they managed to close the salient formed to the east of the village and captured the small, forested area and nearby fields and treelines. Russian forces likely advanced from the flanks forcing a Ukrainian withdrawal. Ukrainian forces likely managed to get out in time, as I didn't see any claims about Ukrainian POWs.
The maximum advance of Russian forces was ~2.1km

Update from the Selydove direction - Karlivka sector:
Geolocated footage and reliable reports indicate that Russian forces continue to exploit their localised breakthrough behind the Vovcha river.
Russian forces have captured the village of Kalynove along with the trench fortifications on the western bank of the Vovcha river. The nearby treelines also came under the control of the Russians. The Ukrainians likely saw this advance coming which is why they withdrew from their positions in "the peninsula" to prevent being encircled.
Additionally, reliable reports suggest that Russian forces have also crossed the E50 highway in a second area and have captured the village of Mermyk. Pro-Ukrainian source "Deepstate" also reported that Russian forces have also advanced down the treeline south of the settlement.
Meanwhile in Karlivka, due to the cutting of the E50 highway which leads to the village, the Ukrainian garrison stationed there is reportedly running out of ammunition. A reliable source reported that Russian forces are advancing in the village. They estimate that it will fall in less than 2 days.

The battle of Selydove has begun.
Reliable reports suggest that Russian forces have advanced into eastern Selydove, capturing part of the dachas and the first residential street (Myru street).
Locals who are still in the city reported that Russian sabotage and reconnaissance teams reached the city park (circled in green) but were destroyed.
Meanwhile in neighboring Mykhailivka, Reports suggest that by the evening, Russian forces had occupied 75% of the village, with clashes ongoing near the driver's license office on the E50 highway.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces broke through Ukrainian positions in Kostyantynivka and have captured the town.
The AFU has been putting up strong resistance in Kostyantynivka for the past 3 weeks, however it appears that something happened that caused them to pull back to the fields to the west. One Russian source claimed that it was to do with Ukrainian redeployments of troops from here to Kursk, although I haven't seen any evidence of that happening yet.
Either way, Russian forces have captured the second half of the town within a matter of days, compared to the three weeks it took to capture the first half. This also means that they have strong control over the O0532 road which leads to Vuhledar. I expect assault operations on the dachas to the northeast of Kostyantynivka will begin in the near future to gain control over the northern bank of the Sukhi Yaly River.
I also expect that the battle for the next village in line (Katerynivka) will begin in the near future.

Multiple sources are reporting that Russian forces captured the village of Marynivka in the Selydove direction.
If true, this was likely done by advancing along the E50 highway, and attacking the village from the south, while simultaneously advancing from southern Novohrodivka. It is also reported that Russian forces captured the treeline north of the Terykon, likely by advancing south from the highway.

It is reported that Ukrainian forces withdrew from positions in central Hrodivka to the remaining houses west of the Zhuravka river. This comes as the Russians are likely getting very close to cutting the last remaining sealed road leading to Hrodivka.
I expect a full withdrawal will begin from the town will begin in the near future. This will allow for further Russian advances on the key city of Myrnohrad.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the Selydove direction and captured the village of Memryk.
This all happened very quickly. Following the fall of Ptyche and Kalynove, the Russians quickly built off their momentum and the collapse of the Ukrainian lines by advancing on Memryk. Clashes were reported in the centre of the settlement, but the village fell within a day either way. A Russian victory banner was raised on one of the houses' roofs.
This advance also shows that Russian forces captured a large swath of treelines and fields further north, meaning that they advanced for ~5.94km.

Reliable reports suggest that Russian forces continue to advance in the direction of Selydove and have entered the city.
Russian forces have likely captured the Kotlyarevsky Terykon and advanced to the Korotchenko mine. Due to them now having fire control over eastern Selydove the Russians were likely also able to enter Myra street.
Additionally, Russian forces likely captured around a third of Mykolaivka, and have entered the eastern Dachas.

A fire broke out at one of the technical facilities, and quickly spread to tanks with flammable materials. This resulted in the depressurization of three of the tanks. Fires continue to burn through to the next day.

Reports from both Russian and Ukrainian sources indicate that Russian forces have captured the Terykon "Novohrodivka no. 1".
If true, this would allow the Russians to gain fire control and surveillance over the approaches to the villages of Lysivka and Sukhyi yar. It may also allow for further advances up the railway line, if that hasn't occurred already.
