Ukraine's 23rd Assault Regiment continues to release step-by-step further results of their offensive actions in the Dvorichna sector, in this case, showing consolidation over the westernmost edge of the Parnyanske forest.

This part of the operation took place in July, at least after the 4th, while the preparation took place in the second half of June, both according to Sentinel-2 imagery.

As Russia continues to advance and strikes continue to intensify, the zone of mandatory evacuation for families with children in Donetsk Oblast was expanded yesterday, to include the town of Novodonetske, additional parts of Slovyansk, and some nearby villages.

This added evacuation zone is around 159 km² in size, decreasing the area of Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk Oblast without evacuation orders to just ~1,451 km², which equates to around ~5.47% of Donetsk Oblast, or just ~2.73% of Donbas.

The evacuation zone now includes the town of Novodonetske, the villages of Iverske, Shostakivka, Novosamarske, Adamivka, Mykilske, Khrestyshche, and Hlyboka Makatykha, and part of the village of Sukhanivka.

It also includes most of the northern suburbs of Slovyansk, with around 41.5% of the city now being under evacuation order, an increase from 27.7%. Around 10% of Kramatorsk city remains under evacuation orders for families with children.
