Details: In Zaporizhzhia Oblast and the south of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the Russians did not reduce the intensity of assaults, continuing attacks on Ukrainian positions and attempts to infiltrate deep into the defence.

Ukrainian forces said that measures to block Russian advances are ongoing, as well as sustained combined-arms fires.
