In the Izyum area, Russia is still trying to push south from Brazhkivka toward Nova Dmytrivka (1). I saw videos of Russian artillery strikes around Sulyhivka that reinforced my hesitation to mark Sulyhivka and Brazhkivka as Russian controlled. I believe both are gray areas.
It appears that Russia pushed Ukraine out of the quarry in Soledar (2), but it is unclear if Russia controls the quarry yet.
There is ongoing fighting in Soledar and Bakhmutske (3). These are important for the defense of Bakhmut, although not necessarily critical for the Ukrainian defensive strategy.
Russia has captured Zaitseve and Dacha. This likely happened on Saturday, and I marked it as a gray area seeking confirmation. It was confirmed today.
Russia is attacking in the direction of Kurdyumivka through Dacha (4) and attacking Mayorsk to the west (5). Mayorsk is a fortified train station.
Russia captured significant ground west of Pisky and north of Lozove (6). They may have also captured territory north of Staromykhailivka, but I did not find confirmation. Russia seeks to capture the tiny town of Nevelske (A).
Russia used heavy artillery fire to weaken Blahodatne, then used a large armored force to push into the southern part of the town, followed by TOS-1 thermobaric weapons to clear out the northern part of the town. Now it appears that Russia controls most of Blahodatne.
Ukraine hit the Antonovskiy Bridge and the bridge over the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Dam with HIMARS today. On the Antonovskiy Bridge, Ukraine happened to hit either (or both!) a crew repairing the bridge or a logistics truck carrying ammunition. It resulted in a large fire.
The latest numbers claim two dead, three missing, and sixteen wounded. Reportedly, the attack injured at least one person on a ferry under the bridge. Russian sources claim the bridge is now impassible.
