On the Avdiivka and Shakhtarsk fronts, the occupiers continue to attack the positions of the Ukrainian troops. They conducted unsuccessful offensive actions in the direction of the settlements of Kamianka, Pervomaiske, Nevelske, Mariinka and Pobieda in Donetsk Oblast, launched attacks near the settlements of Vesele, Avdiivka, Vodiane, Pervomaiske, Nevelske, Krasnohorivka, Mariinka, Pobieda, Vuhledar, Prechystivka, Neskuchne and Velyka Novosilka in Donetsk Oblast. On the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson fronts, Russians are holding their defences, attempting to create conditions for switching to an offensive in some areas. They launched artillery attacks near the settlements located close to the collision line, including Vremivka, Zelene Pole and Novopil in Donetsk Oblast; Olhivske, Huliaipole, Zaliznychne, Charivne, Novodanylivka, Orikhiv and Novoandriivka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, as well as Zelenivka in Kherson Oblast and the city of Kherson.
In the town of Enerhodar in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Russian occupiers continue to put pressure on civilians, specifically due to limited domestic heat and water supply. Mass dismissals caused the lack of qualified staff at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which made the occupiers hire people without education and experience. Lately, the Russian occupiers have been actively engaging in looting in the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson Oblast, specifically in the town of Oleshky.
