Ukraine, Russia advance in separate directions

In the Novopavlivka and Prosyana directions, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have made advances. In the northeast, Ukrainian forces continued counterattacks in Novopavlivka, clearing Russian infiltrators from the southwestern and western parts, the town centre, and southern streets, while also recapturing positions on the northeastern approaches. In the southwest, Russian forces broke through Ukrainian defences east of Oleksandrohrad, capturing most of the stronghold village, and infiltrated up to the Vovcha River at multiple points, with fighting continuing in Voskresenka. The net territorial change is approximately 8.73 square kilometers gained by Ukraine and 1.26 square kilometers gained by Russia.
