They also took Orikhove, and proceeded to attack west of it towards the town of Hirske. Russian forces kept attacking Severodonetsk, Zolote and Katerynivka without major advance. Attacks also continued on Komyshuvakha with outcome unclear at the time of writing. Russians managed to advance northwest and south of Popasna.
