Situation on the Omelnyk and Orikhiv directions, Zaporizhzhia Oblast:

Russian forces intensified their assault operations, making significant progress over the last two weeks, while Ukrainian forces continued limited counterattacks.

In the southwest, Ukrainian forces advanced in Mala Tokmachka, clearing most of the rest of the eastern part of the village and pushing the Russians back to the eastern outskirts.

To the east, Russian forces continued advancing west, parallel with the 2022-era Ukrainian defensive line. They were able to capture a number of treeline positions north of Luhivske, and are infiltrating further west towards the strongpoints north of Bilohirya. Additionally, they were able to capture large swaths of the fields south of Charivne, before completing the capture of the village. From there, they are carrying out deep infiltrations past the strongpoints west of Charivne and through the treelines to the southwest, under heavy MLRS, artillery, and KAB cover.

To the northeast, Russian forces advanced in the treelines northeast of Charivne and are trying to capture the strongpoints north of the village. At the same time, other Russian assault groups were able to enter the southwestern part of Huliapilske following the capture of positions along the gulley to the south.

To the east, Russian assault operations on Huliaipilske decreased in intensity, as they focused on clearing the remaining Ukrainian positions in the fields southeast of the village. Assault operations continued along the highway, and the remaining part of the salient southwest of Zaliznychne was cleared. Additionallly, the Russians improved their positions in the treelines west of Zalizhnychne, and began storming the Ukrainian strongpoints in the forest plantations northeast of Huliaipilske, while simultaneous infiltrations continued towards the northern outskirts of Huliaipilske from Hirke.

To the north, Russian forces secured the treelines south of Verkhnya Tersa, utilising them for their recent renewed storming operations in the village itself. As a result of heavy battles, they were able to capture the western and central parts of the settlement, and are now trying to infiltrate further west through the treelines in the direction of Kopani. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces recaptured some positions along the railway windbreaks northwest of Krynychne and are engaged in fighting for the western outskirts of Tsvitkove, which the Russians are trying to recapture. Russian forces were also able to push the Ukrainian infiltrators out of the northwestern-most streets of Hulyaipole, forcing any survivors to retreat back to Zalizhnychne.

Further north, Russian forces advanced north of Tsvitkove, establishing control over a large section of the railway line and treelines to the east, before storming the village of Vozdvyzhivka. They were able to entrench in the easternmost part of the settlement and are infiltrating through to its western outskirts. Heavy battles also continue in its northern streets. At the same time, large-scale assault operations are underway through the treelines south of the village, with Russian infiltrators approaching the eastern outskirts of Rivne. Clashes also continue in the remaining sections of the railway line east of Vozdvyzhivka. Meanwhile, Russian forces were able to clear part of the Ukrainian pocket east of Varvarivka and are engaged in battles with Ukrainian forces for the central part of Dobropillya.
