Situation at frontline

According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russian troops could further stabilize their advance northwest of Avdiivka and move further west of Ocheretyne, making it increasingly difficult for Ukrainian forces to hold their positions along the Berdychi-Semenivka-Umansk line.

In Ukraine, 114 combat engagements took place on the frontline over the last day. Ukrainian aviation destroyed 3 Russian anti-aircraft missile systems.
