Situation on the Dobropillya & Druzhkivka directions, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last few weeks, both Russian and Ukrainian forces continued their assault operations, with Russian forces focusing primarily on deep infiltrations behind Ukrainian lines.

In the east, Russian forces deepened their zone of infiltration within the village of Raiske (southern one) and began infiltrating east through the fields towards the southwestern outskirts of Druzhkivka in smaller numbers. They also managed to infiltrate a couple new groups of 2-3 soldiers into the Staroraiske area, operating near the mine complex.

To the west, the Russians continued attacking Ukrainian positions in the Novomykolaivka area and began deeper infiltrations behind their lines. Several small groups of 2-3 DRGs infiltrated northwest to Andriivka, before panning out to the Novoyavlenka, Starovarvarivka, and Rohanske areas, putting Ukrainian drone operator and artillery positions at risk.

To the southwest, Ukrainian forces cleared some of the forested gullies south of Hruzke and Vesele from earlier Russian infiltrations, and continued infiltrating south towards the Kucheriv Yar area. Russian forces continued attacking towards Kucheriv Yar and are attempting to advance in the area of the clay mines. From here, Russian infiltrator and DRG groups began infiltrating northwest past Zolotyi Kolodyaz into the Petrivka, Blahodat, Vesela Hora, Novotroitske, and Lidyne areas, putting additional Ukrainian drone operator and artillery positions at risk.

Further southwest, fighting continues for the railway line southwest of Rubizhne, while sporadic Russian infiltrations continue to occur in the Bilozerske, Myrove, and Vesele Pole areas.

+ ~7.24 km² in favour of Ukraine.
