As a result of intensified military operations in the Pokrovsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces achieved significant success, overcoming the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and taking control of most of the village of Novobakhmutovka, which is located south of the recently captured Ocheretino. This is reported by Russian and Ukrainian sources, confirming information about the movement of the front line and ongoing fighting in this key area.

According to the latest data, the enemy is actively using artillery and unmanned aerial vehicles in order to complicate the consolidation of Russian units in Ocheretino and prevent further advance of the offensive. In response to the offensive of Russian troops, the Ukrainian Armed Forces mobilized the forces of the 47th Mechanized Brigade, which had previously participated in the defense of Avdiivka and was redeployed for counterattacks and closing gaps in the defense.

Ukrainian military analysts recognize the successes of the Russian Armed Forces by publishing updated maps of front-line operations. They note that the situation remains tense and fighting continues with varying degrees of success. The report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine indicates that in just one day in the Avdeevsky direction, Russian troops carried out 14 attacks in the areas of Novokalinovo, Ocheretino, Novobakhmutovka and others, trying to oust Ukrainian units from their positions.
