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.

Following reports of Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups entering the Selydove city park and being destroyed by Ukrainian forces, reports came in of another group of Russians which had infiltrated the city in the direction of the Shakhter Stadium.

As of the time of writing, it is reported that they have entrenched in the area of the stadium and that clashes are ongoing with Ukrainian forces defending the complex.

Multiple sources are also reporting that following the capture of the mine, Russian forces captured the Korotchenko Terykon. Ukrainian forces likely withdrew to the Selydove city park and sports complex.

A ballistic missile was launched from Kursk Oblast at Poltava. It flew over Sumy Oblast and is heading in the direction of Myrhorod.

An Iskander missile was launched from Crimea in the direction of Odesa Oblast.

An explosion was reported in Kominternivs'ke, Odesa Oblast.

Reports from this morning suggest that Russian forces have advanced further up the railway line from Novohrodivka and from Mykolaivka and gained a foothold in the southernmost part of Myrnohrad.

A few hours later, reports came in stating that clashes were ongoing in the Zapadny micro-district, although it is unknown whether positions were established.

Meanwhile in Kirov Oblast, a Ukrainian UAV struck a tank for storing petroleum products near the town of Kotelnich. Kotelnich is roughly 1,150km from the border with Ukraine.

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.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces mostly closed the Pobieda salient, and advanced to new positions northeast of Paraskoviivka.

Here they managed to advance downhill from the tactical heights towards a gulley formed by a tributary of the Sukhi Yaly river. Ukrainian forces were pushed back to positions on the western bank of this tributary on the other tactical heights.

In my opinion, Russian forces will push down the O0532 road from Pobieda as they already control the high ground there, therefore avoiding an uphill battle.

The maximum advance of Russian forces was ~2.28km.

New reports suggest that Russian forces significantly expanded the area of control north of Shevchenko near Vuhledar and have reached the Kashalahach river from the south.

It is possible that this is in preparation for a flanking maneuver on western Vuhledar combined with an attack from the O0532 road from the east.

This comes as Russian forces reportedly advanced on Vodyane, and are approaching the outskirts of the village. Vodyane is located to the Northeast of Vuhledar.

This indicates that Russian forces want to flank Vuhledar from the northeast and possibly even the west.

Powerful explosions were reported in Slovyansk, Donetsk Oblast.

Locals in Ukrainsk report that Russian forces are storming the town, and that they can hear the sound of tanks and machine guns. This indicates that the Russians may have advanced further down the treelines southwest of Memryk.

Update from Selydove:

Multiple reliable sources reported that Russian forces have greatly expanded their foothold inside Selydove and have advanced towards the city centre.

Following the likely fall of the second Terykon, Russian forces gained full fire control and surveillance over eastern Selydove, apparently allowing for forward units to advance into the city and establish positions inside the eastern residential areas.

Some sources even reported that fighting is ongoing in the high-rise residential area in the city centre, while others report clahses in the city park and sports complex.

There are also reports that Russian forces are advancing through houses on the southern bank of the Solona river in the direction of the other high-rise residential block.

Everything is moving very fast here, and it looks like Selydove might be lost within a week at this rate.

The first reports are coming in that Russian forces have entered Ukrainsk.
