North of the Kazenyi Torets River, Russian forces made a slight advance in Raiske whilst managing to capture Novo Nikolaevka-Druzha and its quarry, which enabled them to launch operations in Novoandriivka and towards Andriivka. Furthermore, advances west of Novomykolaivka and north-east of Kucheriv Yar continued with the capture of new positions in those directions, whilst Ukrainian positions in Vesele came under heavy bombardment. Here, reconnaissance units are already operating within Hruzke, from where they reached the Ovcharevskyi Quarry near Novotroitske.
