Ukrainian artillery struck Donetsk city, reportedly causing injuries and damaging five districts.

Readovka, a DPR-run news platform, claimed Donetsk civilian housing was hit by UAF M777 howitzers, injuring three.

On the Bakhmut front, Russians deployed tanks, mortars and artillery to attack settlements in and around Spirne, Berestove, Vasiukivka, Paraskoviivka, Chasiv Yar, Bakhmut, Klishchiivka, Predtechyne, Bila Hora and Zalizne in Donetsk Oblast

Russian forces launched a severe offensive near Lyman and attempted to encircle Bakhmut.

Russia's attempts to surround the town of Bakhmut had failed so far.

Russian forces' reported culmination and tactical failures around Vuhledar, Donetsk Oblast, have likely further weakened the Russian ultranationalist community's belief that Russian forces are able to launch a decisive military effort.

The State Border Service of Ukraine destroyed four groups of Russian infantry, numbering up to 40 fighters total, near Bakhmut using aerial scouting and mortar/artillery fire.
