Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the Pokrovsk direction and captured new positions.
After advancing into the southern part of Pishchane along one treeline and being pushed back slightly along the adjacent one, Russian forces advanced back along the second one, reaching the Pishchane mines. They consolidated their positions in the treeline and may have conducted a failed attack, but eventually Russian troops were able to dislodge the Ukrainians from their positions and captured the mines.
They were also able to expand their zone of control along a treeline to the east, thus partially protecting the eastern flank of their advance into the mines.
Now that the mines have fallen, I expect that the rest of Pishchane will be captured in the next 48-72 hours, as Ukraine no longer has any strong positions there.
+ ~1.64km² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in Toretsk again.
After capturing the Toretsk central mines and the Toretsk central market, Russian forces went on to flatten out the fronline in the western part of the city. They were able to take control of several more residential blocks in the process.
This advance will make assault operations on the small Terykon to the northwest much easier, as there is one united line against it, rather than there being salients for the Russians to deal with.
+ ~0.12km² in favour of Russia.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces continue to slowly and incrementally advance in the Siversk direction from the south.
Russian forces were able to advance north from positions in the forests, taking up new treeline positions.
This advance is likely old, however, as the footage that confirms this is of a mechanised assault to the north, suggesting Russian control over this treeline. This means that the zone of Russian control might be greater than what is shown on the map depending on whether or not that mechanised assault was successful.
Either way, these new positions will allow the Russians to advance further north (as they have already tried to do) and is the next step in flattening out the frontline and capturing the settlement of Vyimka.
+ ~1.08km² in favour of Russia.

In an interview with RIA Novosti, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov stated that the strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran is ready, agreed by both countries and does not require any adjustments.
"The treaty is designed to legally consolidate the unprecedented progress achieved in bilateral relations in recent years, to fix their entry into the level of strategic partnership," he said in response to a question regarding this.
He added that the purposes of this agreement are to: strengthen peace and security at the regional and global levels, fight extremism and terrorism, and counter many other "common challenges and threats."
The signing is expected to take place during the next high-level contact.

(1/2) A Ukrainian military observer has released a new update on the situation on the frontline. Here is the summary:
Pokrovsk direction:
The Russian command is gradually attracting units and formations of the 41st Guards forces to partake in battles in this direction. Russian left-flank units of the 27th Motorised Rifle Division tried to advance in the direction of the Pishchane-Kotlyne line, as well as in the direction of Zvirove.
The 90th tank division with the participation of part of the forces of the 27th motorised rifle division continue to attack on a fairly wide front in the direction of Novotroitske - Novovasylivka and Novotroitske - Solone as well as in the direction of Novoolenivka - Novojelyzavetiva and Ukrainka - Yasenove. While no significant results were achieved, progress at the tactical level did occur.
The goal of the Russian command is - at this stage - to maximally expand its penetration south of Pokrovsk in order to create a convenient concentration area and subsequent deployment area for its assault groups which will storm Pokrovsk from the south and try to bypass it from the southwest. As a result of these plans, there are fierce battles for the villages of Novovasylivka, Upsenivka and Solone, while the AFU is trying to keep Russian forward units at the maximum distance from the south of the city limits.
Kurakhove direction:
Ukrainian forces continue to hold the line along the northern bank of the Sukhi Yaly river but have apparently completely withdrawn from its southern bank leaving only a small bridgehead in the area of Yatarne. This bridgehead is prolonging the remains of the Kurakhove salient.
In turn, Russia - with the forces of units and formations of the 29th, 8th OVA and 68th armoured corps, reinforced by a number of units from the 114th separate motorised rifle brigade and the 57th separate morotised rifle brigade - is trying to break through the Ukrainian defences along the Zelenivka - Upsenivka - Trudove - Maksymivka line, while simultaneously attacking forward Ukrainian units in the area of Zelenivka, Sukhy Yaly, Kostyantynopolske and Upsenivka. There have been no major successes, except for the expansion of the zone of control on the southern bank of the Sukhi Yaly river.
Meanwhile on the northern flank of the Kurakhove salient, the Russian 110th and 5th separate motorised rifle brigades continue their attacks in the general direction of Stary Terny - Shevchenko, advancing to the eastern bank of the Solona river, but have not yet reached the village of Shevchenko.
Further north, after the left-flank units and subdivisions of the 90th tank division conducted a small regrouping, Russian forces resumed intensive assault operations in the direction of the Zorya - Slovyanka and Sontsivka - Petropavlivka lines. The goal is to break through to the rear and cut off the Donetsk-Zaporizhzhia highway from the south through Sukhy Yaly and from the north. This means that Ukraine holding the Slovyanka - Shevchenko line is very important for the overall defence of the area.
In addition to this, Russia's frontal pressure on the salient itself continues in Kurakhove and in the direction of Dalnje - Dachne. Their forces and assets from the 8th OVA are operating here, as well as part of the 5th separate motorised rifle brigade. They are gradually advancing.
Velyka Novosilka direction:
Over the past 3-4 days, forward units of the Russian 5th OVA have been persistently attacking west of the Mokri Yaly river, trying to bypass Neskuchne and Vremivka from the west and southwest. The goal is most likely to cut off the dirt road leading north, out of Velyka Novosilka.
The plan for the Russians is as follows:
the 36th OVA provides frontal pressure along the eastern bank of the Mokri Yaly river as well as from the east in the direction of the Velyka Novosilka - Blahodatne line as well as the Shakhtarske - Velyka Novosilka line, trying to tie down as much as possible of the Ukrainian formations defending here.

(2/2) At the same time, the 40th and 336th separate marine brigades break through to the north of the town and intercept the two roads leading north from Velyka Novosilka.
In turn, the 5th OVA breaks through between Rivnopil and Storozheve in the northern direction towards the Velyka Novosilka - Upsenivka Road, cutting it and bypassing the entire Ukrainian defence area in Velyka Novosilka.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces advanced in the Andriivka direction and took up new positions in the village of Novojelyzavetivka.
After establishing a foothold on the village's eastern outskirts, Russian infantry went on to attack westwards, clearing Ukrainian positions in the houses as they went. They were able to take up new positions near the centre of the village.
Additionally, Russian forces were able to advance north of the village, taking control over one more treeline, although reliable reports suggest that the extent of this advance is to one treeline further west, allowing them to establish fire control over the central part of Novojelyzavetivka.
+ ~1.69km² in favour of Russia.
