- The fighting continues in the town of Ukrainsk and Selidovo, while the village of Galytsynovka has been reportedly seized by the Russian forces already.
- Moscow's forces are now expanding their zone of control to reinforce their flanks while pushing towards the city of Pokrovsk (also known as Krasnoarmeysk), the last major settlement under Ukrainian control in the area.
- The Russian military has reported new gains in the town of Dzerzhinsk (Toretsk) area, seizing control of the village of Kirovo (Pivnichnoye) located immediately to the east of the city.
