In the Kostyantynivka direction, Russian forces continued their assault operations northeast of the city of Toretsk and have reached the southern outskirts of the village of Dyliivka (the northern one).
Russian forces advanced down both banks of the Balmutka River. On the eastern bank they secured the salient on the western bank of the Siversky-Donets Canal and captured the trench positions there, as well as the nearby forests.
They then advanced northeast from positions west of the village of Ozarianivka, pushing up a treeline downhill from the tactical heights. Separate assault detachments pushed northwest through the forests in the low-lying ground and reached the concrete-fortified trench strongpoint on the southern approaches to Dyliivka. The strongpoint was subsequently stormed and captured, giving Russia a strong staging ground for attacks on Dyliivka which will likely begin once the newly formed salient on the heights to the northeast is cleared.
On the western bank of the river, Russian forces advanced north up two treelines from near the village of Druzhba, capturing new positions along them and reaching the river from the south.
+ ~12.00km² in favour of Russia.
