Ukrainian forces have made additional and tactically significant gains in the west of Zaporizhzhia Oblast

Ukrainian forces are advancing through what Ukrainian and US sources have suggested is the most difficult set of engineered Russian defensive positions

Twenty-seven settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblast were targeted 104 times

Ukraine's armed forces have made further tactically significant gains in the south of the country and may have broken through the toughest line of Russian defenses in some areas

Ukrainian troops have advanced 1.5 km southward northeast of Novoprokopivka (13 km south of Orikhiv) and south of the recently liberated village of Robotyne, well beyond Russia's first line of defense

The extent of the minefields in the next line of defense may be less mined to allow Russian troops north of these positions to retreat.
