#Bakhmut
➡️Russian forces continue to push east from the Alpha Gas station, south from Ivanhrad and Opytne. Shelling has increased.
➡️Russian recon units were spotted SW of Bakhmut. They try to take advantage of the situation around Klishchiivka to bypass it north to Ivanivske.

#Klishchiivka
➡️Klishchiivka is mostly occupied by RU forces. Confirmed by my sources on the ground. The hills N/W are contested but still AFU dominant. Despite reinforcements the front is difficult.
➡️RU forces in Kurdyumivka took some ground towards Diilivka along the canal.

#Avdiivka
➡️Today Russia conducted a fairly big attack on Avdiivka from Opytne. Several assault groups backed up by armored vehicles and tanks rushed into Avdiivka from the west. Just like Vodyane recently, they ran into artillery and retreated, with heavy losses. Footage soon.

#Zaporizhzia
➡️RU forces claim there is an offensive, and several towns (like Lobkove just south of Stepove) are taken. For now all I know is that nothing changed there despite increased shelling and some attempted RU pincer moves near Hulyaipole/Orikhiv. Will try to verify.
