- From the west, following the Russian withdrawal, Ukrainian forces managed to fully recapture Yarova and Oleksandrivka, as well as a series of wooded areas adjacent to Novoselivka and Shandryholove, where the fighting has shifted (following Ukrainian infiltrations into the area in July). Progress has also been made in Drobysheve, advancing towards Derylove, a strategic high ground which Russian forces risk losing should the Ukrainian encirclement intensify.
