Russian sources are increasingly acknowledging Ukrainian counterattacks around Lyman. ISW is not prepared to assess the extent or results of these counterattacks at this time, however.

On the South Slobozhanshchyna front, Ukrainian forces repelled 13 Russian attacks. The Russians attempted to advance near the settlements of Starytsia, Lyman, Volokhivka, Chaikivka and Khatnie and towards Petro-Ivanivka and Radkivka.

Russian forces have not reached, much less entered or seized, the other Fortress Belt cities of Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, and Druzhkivka.

A drone attack sparked a large fire overnight at what was believed to be a shopping center in Russian-occupied Mariupol.

The burning building was likely the Galaktika shopping center, formerly a Ukrainian Metro store.

During the attack on occupied Mariupol, a gas station next to a shopping center caught on fire.

A large-scale fire started in the 'Galaktika' shopping center in occupied Mariupol after an attack.

The 'Galaktika' shopping center is located in the former 'Metro' building where a 'United Russia' filtration point and humanitarian distribution center was located.

A fire also occurred at a gas station near 'Galaktika'.

Ukrainian forces repelled eight attempts by the invaders to advance in the Lyman direction near the settlements of Shyikivka, Druzheliubivka, Novoselivka, Lyman, and Dibrova. Four attacks are still ongoing.
