At dawn local time today, the Russian Eastern Group's 64th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade crossed the Yanchur River. After several hours of fierce fighting, by noon local time they occupied Pervyshkovye (also known as Zrakhoda). Russian soldiers raised the Russian flag in the center of the village near the village council. In this battle, the Russians eliminated two Ukrainian platoons, destroyed four armored vehicles and a convoy of the Ukrainian army.

Even for experienced soldiers, crossing the Yanchur River was a test, as Ukrainian mortars continuously attacked the crossing points, and there were also drones attacking the Russian forces. However, the Russians organized and commanded well, crossing the Yanchur River under the heavy fire of the Ukrainian forces with few losses. After breaking through the Ukrainian defense, the Russians consolidated their positions in the western suburbs of Pervyshkovye and began further advances. The Russian forces left behind in the village carried out clearing operations in the village, searching every house and basement, which is a standard operation for the Russian forces.
