The Russian Eastern Group has made rapid progress. Just after the 5th Guards Army captured Yablukovo and Rivnopillya in Zaporozhzhia Oblast, the 36th Army of the Eastern Group captured Dniprolivsk village in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The Russians not only drove the Ukrainian forces out of the villages but also advanced three kilometers into the Ukrainian defense line.
According to Russian reports, the troops of the 36th Army approached Dniprolovka from the south and encountered a Ukrainian defense system consisting of anti-tank ditches, dragon's teeth, minefields, and fortifications. Moreover, the Yanchur River blocked the road from the north into the village. However, the Russian突击队 composed mainly of Buryats successfully broke through the Ukrainian defense line by virtue of their mobility and firepower, quickly capturing Dniprolovka and controlling about 150 buildings.
The capture of Dniprolovka by the Russian forces cut off the supply and reinforcement line for the Ukrainian forces from Pokrovsk in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to Hulyaibol in Zaporozhzhia Oblast.
Currently, the Russian forces are attacking the Ukrainian 154th Mechanized Brigade on the western bank of the Yanchur River and have pushed back the heavily damaged 154th Mechanized Brigade to the Gaiurchur River, with the Ukrainian forces losing approximately one company of personnel and 12 pieces of equipment including self-propelled artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles.
