The Russian military has captured the northeastern residential part of Kostyantynivka and is advancing into the northwestern sector, according to a report by Abu Ali Express. From there, Russian personnel have entered the town of Oleksijevo-Druzhkivka, where they were geolocated in the southeastern residential area. The northwestern part of Kostyantynivka had been the last Ukrainian-held sector in the city, as The Zioneer reported earlier this month.

From there, Russian personnel have entered the town of Oleksijevo-Druzhkivka, where they were geolocated in the southeastern residential area.
As The Zioneer reported on July 5, Russian forces had seized about 90% of Kostyantynivka, with Ukrainian forces holding the northwestern residential area and conducting local counterattacks. The new report suggests that the last Ukrainian-held sector is now being entered by Russian forces, potentially marking the completion of the city's capture. The advance into Oleksijevo-Druzhkivka, located just north of Kostyantynivka, indicates continued Russian pressure on the Donetsk front.
