TL;DR

Ukraine's Armed Forces have fully captured the villages of Ivanivka and Novokhatske in the southern Donetsk region, according to reports. Ukrainian forces have also reached the western bank of the Mokri Yaly River, where shelling of Ukrainian positions was reported.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have captured the villages of Ivanivka and Novokhatske in the southern Donetsk region, advancing to the western bank of the Mokri Yaly River, according to a single report. The report indicates that Ukrainian positions near Hrushivske came under shelling. The southern Donetsk front has been active in recent weeks, with previous reports documenting Russian gains at Psykunivka and Kostyantynivka and Ukrainian clearing of Zelenyi Hai, as The Zioneer has reported. The capture of these two villages represents a tactical shift, though details on casualties or the extent of control remain unconfirmed, and the report relies on a single source.
