Shelling locations reported by UA general staff today
Sumy-Kharkiv
Ukrainian general staf reported repulsed RU attacks in the area of Vysoke, Sumy oblast and Khatne, Kharkiv oblast. I believe these attacks are just for probing reasons and to bind UA units in the area.
Svatove north
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Stel'makhivka, Andriivka and Nadiya. Pro-RU telegram reported an AFU attack on Sofiivka which was supposedly unsuccessful.
GSUA reported two new shelling locations today in the area of Kuzemivka and Kolomyichykha. I believe the AFU have advanced north of Kuzemivka and possibly crossed the P-07. There are telegram reports of AFU fighting in Kolomyichykha, and I have even seen liberation claims
Siversk
There was also a reported attack in the area of Novoselivka, Donetsk oblast. The order they mentioned it in does not match up. This place is the my best guess, but I'm not sure.
Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks around Yakovlivka, Bakhmutske and Bakhmut. I think Optyne is still contested.
You can check out this thread by @Danspiun for videos and locations of the Bakhmut fights
Since last fall, Russia have increased their effort to build shelters for aircrafts. I have identified 14 localtion where they have build or are building shelters.

🧵The situation in Vovchansk is interesting. The map shows geolocated positions the last 8 days h/t @UAControlMap. When the first rumors about an encirclement at the aggregate plant, I thought it was BS. But it appears there is some truth to it, supposedly 83rd VDV.
The extent of isolation and the amount of people is unclear. Once interesting thing is the Russians committed one of their best units, 2nd Special Purpose Brigade to fight in the town. We have mostly seen poorly trained and equipped units without mechanized support in this fight
According to RU channels UA withdrew from the Filtration Plant in the east and Zenith in the south. This is good news, since avoiding an encirclement should be a priority at this point. It seems the coke plant and Kvartal high-rises are the current UA strongholds.
RU forces continue to try to fully encircle Avdiivka pushing mainly from 3 directions.
It remains to be seen if Ukraine are planning to withdraw from the east side of the city, but I think it's a pretty good idea to do so.
UA might chose to fight for the coke plant and Kvartal for a bit, but the gap for the gloc is only 3km and consists of 2 windbreaks.
