For the first time in a long time, revival and a local breakthrough are being recorded in the Alexander-Kalinovsky direction. Last evening, messages began to appear on the resources of both sides about a breakthrough of the front from Gorlovka to Toretsk (Dzerzhinsk).
At the same time, according to the most optimistic statements, the advance of Russian units was about three to five kilometers, and this was on one of the oldest and well-fortified sections of the front.
According to the first reports, Russian troops broke through Leninskoye (Pivdennoye) to the administrative borders of Artemovo (Zaliznoye), but this information has not yet been clearly confirmed.

According to available information, the advance was about 900 meters along the railway and to the pumping station of the 3rd lift on the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal.

Zaporozhye Front. The Russian Armed Forces are firing long-range weapons at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and heavy flamethrower systems of the Russian army are actively working. Ukrainian artillery also responds quite often. On the ground, there are mainly positional battles. In the Rabotino area and north-west of Verbovoy LBS there are no significant changes.
Donetsk front. In the area of Konstantinovka and Maksimilyanivka - without much change - there are battles on the approaches to these settlements. In Krasnogorovka, fighting continues within the city limits; the Ukrainian Armed Forces are putting up serious resistance. In Nevelskoye there are oncoming battles.

The front intensified in the New York area, where the Russian Armed Forces attacked Ukrainian positions on a wide front line in order to push the LBS away from Gorlovka. Rapid advances, due to the very long static nature of the front line in this sector, should not be expected.

On the ground, fighting continues in the eastern suburb of Chasov Yar, where the Russian Armed Forces are pushing the enemy further and further to the west.
