Kharkov direction

Russian forces liberated Blagodatnoye, advancing toward Nefyodovka. Troops also took Krasny Yar and Potikhonovo, significantly narrowing the pocket and cutting Ukrainian supply lines.

Pressure on the encircled group is applied from both outer and inner contours. To the west, Belyi Kolodez was liberated. Fighting continues near Petropavlovka and Prikolotnoye.

Attempts to move reserves from Veliky Burluk toward Olkhovatka were thwarted. Strikes are hitting AFU positions near Podsrednee, Sosnovka, and Sosnovy Bor, destroying fortifications.
