Russians continued very intense attacks in the Bakhmut-Soledar area.

Northwest of Soledar, they took the settlement of Silj. From there they attacked north, taking village Krasnopolivka or large part of it. Very heavy fighting continued along the line of Krasna Hora-Blahodatne-Silj-Krasnopolivka-Rozdolivka-Vesele.

South of Bakhmut, Russians took village Klishchiivka after prolonged heavy fighting. Russian attacks without major advance as of the time of writing continued from Klishchiivka towards Ivanivske, and from Kurdyumivka-Ozarianivka towards Dyliivka.

Intense fighting went on in the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut, and near its southern outskirts.

In the north of this area, fighting without major changes continued near Bilohorivka (the northern one) and Spirne.
