———————————————————————————————————————
Summary:
Minor gains by Russian troops near Novomykhaylivka and north of Pisky and south of Opytne.

Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbass area: no changes

- Donetsk West:
Fighting for village Novomykhaylivka south of Maryinka continues
Russian troops making progress in capturing the village;
Russain troops squeezed Ukrainian forces outside of road M-30 near Pisky and Opytne.

- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.

1. Kharkiv: No changes.
••Russian rumor mill is saying some UA commando units are operating on Russian soil, Kursk region: laying mimes, blowing up rail track. Not verified
••Orcs trying to attack UA bridgehead on east side of Severski-Donets River. Local and tactical attacks.

2. Izyum bridgehead. No changes.
••A little bit more active.

3. North Donbass: No changes.
••Weak attacks. Orcs hitting wall so trying to attack flanks.
••No new attacks in Bakhmut.
••New attacks near Shumy.

4. West of Donetsk:
••Lots of fighting here.

••Ten days ago the UA held lines south of M-40 Hyw. Their positions were strongly engineered.
Now the UA has been pushed back some distance north of M-40 where their defenses are nowhere near as strong.
Extensive use of artillery and thermobaric weapons to keep Orc casualties within acceptable range.
UA 56th Brigade has suffered very heavy losses as a resulting the Pisky area.
56th likely has limited ability to continue defensive operations now.

5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline:

6. Kherson bridgehead: No changes.
••Orc forces have enough supplies to remain capable. Enough to defend and do small tactical attacks
••UA Command only did half the job needed to be done.
