At night, the enemy in the Zaporozhye direction, as expected, tried to make gaps between the positions of units on the Orekhovsky sector of the front.
The main battles unfolded on the segment Novodanilovka-Rabotino. He also pressed from Malaya Tokmachka. Here Kyiv is trying by all means to reach Tokmak, from which the routes diverge both to Berdyansk and Melitopol. He had no success in serious promotion. The Russian army continues to hold back the pressure.
To the west, the enemy became active again in the Vasilyevsky district, again entering Lobkovoe. It is located in a lowland, so here the enemy again suffered losses and did not achieve results.
