In the western part of the Kursk salient, Russian forces continued their advance, capturing new positions in the village of Sverdlikovo.
They likely advanced from the north and south, capturing the houses in the central part of the settlement, and reaching the western bank of the Loknya River. Ukrainian forces still maintain a presence in the southern part of the village, however.
Once the entire western bank of the river is secured, assault operations to the rear will become easier, and the eastern part of the village will fall.
+ ~0.47kmΒ² in favour of Russia.

In western Luhansk Oblast, Russian forces made new advances, capturing the last part of Makiivka, and further expanded their bridgehead on the western bank of the Zherebets River.
Russian forces advanced from positions in the southern houses of the main part of Makiivka, capturing a forested area and two adjacent treelines. They then advanced south, capturing the small residential area in southern Makiivka, before branching off into the nearby forest, capturing that too.
+ ~3.26kmΒ² in favour of Russia.

Correction of the frontline in favour of Ukraine:
At some point, Ukrainian forces counterattacked north of Bakhmut, and crossed a tributary of the Vasyukivka River.
After capturing a few treelines which were previously in the grey zone, Ukrainian forces advanced over the tributary, taking up new positions in the forest plantations on the opposite bank, therefore establishing a small bridgehead.
+ ~1.19kmΒ² in favour of Ukraine.

Russian forces continued to advance in western Donetsk Oblast, and completed the capture of the village of Andriivka.
Following a collapse in Ukrainian resistance, Russian forces advanced from positions in the western part of the village, reaching the western outskirts. They also completed the capture of the houses in the north of the settlement on the tactical heights, securing another section of the fortified area.
This puts the village of Kostyantynopil at a risk of encirclement, along with the village of Ulaky which is even further east.
+ ~1.56kmΒ² in favour of Russia.

In the salient west of Kurakhove, Russian forces continued their advance downhill from the tactical heights, clearing a large area of Ukrainian treeline positions.
Russian forces, along with sappers, advanced west, capturing two treelines west of the Dachne Graveyard, before moving south along a perpendicular treeline to the rear of the Ukrainian positions to the east. This forced Ukrainian troops to withdraw from these positions, westwards, to safer positions east of the village of Zelenivka, allowing for Russian forces to advance west, capturing those positions.
This coincides with a Russian push north across the gulley to the west of this advance, and lines up with my previous belief that Ukrainian manpower levels was low in those treelines. The main defences of the salient appear to be about to fall, which could result in an attempted withdrawal through the bottleneck in Ulaky and Kostyantynopil.
+ ~5.02kmΒ² in favour of Russia.

In the Komar direction, Russian forces continued to make progress west of Velyka Novosilka, taking up new treeline positions.
Russian forces advanced in two directions here. In the west, the main advance took place with Russian forces advancing north along a treeline, before crossing the Velyka Novosilka - Hulyaipole road, and establishing control over another treeline to the north.
A smaller advance was made to the east, where Russian forces advanced from positions south of the same road, capturing a small treeline to the north, reaching the intersection with a perpendicular treeline.
+ ~1.24kmΒ² in favour of Russia.

I should specify, we don't know if this was a Russian drone or not. That's just what the IAEA said.
