Ukraine's State Border Guard Service shot down a Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that was being used for reconnaissance and adjusting artillery fire in Donetsk Oblast.

Defenders have shot down a drone using small arms.

Following the downing of the drone and thus the loss of reconnaissance capability, Russian artillery attacks have become less precise and eventually stopped.

Another two missiles hit four high-rise buildings and a kindergarten in Druzhkivka, resulting in four wounded people.

In the northern quarters of Artemovsk, fierce battles are going on for every street, every house, every stairwell. The Ukrainian armed forces are fighting to the last.

Ukrainian forces repelled enemy attacks in Kreminna, Shypylivka (Luhansk), and Verkhnyokamianske, Blahodatne, Krasna Hora, Paraskoviivka, Bakhmut, Ivanivske, Klishchiivka (Donetsk).
