In the Berkhovka area, as military correspondents report, Russian troops managed to push back Ukrainian formations, after which the Ukrainian Armed Forces were forced to go on the defensive in this area, abandoning offensive actions.

In the Avdeevsky sector of the Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces advanced a little on the southern approaches, near Pervomaisky. On the northern approaches to Avdeevka, the Russian Armed Forces control access to the railway in the Stepnoy area; the key point for enemy logistics, Orlovka, is located 3,5 km south of this place.
