The Ukrainian military says that its forces have made further progress in a part of the southern front.
The armed forces had succeeded in the Novodanylivka-Verbove direction "and [are] consolidating their positions, inflicting artillery fire on the identified enemy targets, and conducting counter-battery operations," the General Staff said in its daily briefing.
If successful in the Verbove area, the Ukrainians would widen a wedge of territory they have taken as they push south towards the strategic hub of Tokmak, which is occupied by the Russians.
The Ukrainian military said it is continuing offensive operations south of the city of Bakhmut, consolidating their positions, while resisting Russian efforts to advance in other parts of the Donetsk region. Kyiv repelled a Russian counterattack near the village of Klishchivka, south of Bakhmut, where heavy fighting continued.
In the past 24 hours, there have been 32 battles between Russian and Ukrainian forces on the ground.
Lt. Gen. Serhii Naev, commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said on Telegram that Russian forces had also strengthened their reserves in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions.
