Satellite images, confirmed by the location, show Ukrainian units advancing, albeit slowly, northwest of the village of Klishchiivka, about 7 km southwest of Bakhmut. Ukraine also said it was advancing in the direction of Novodanylivka-Novopokropivka, 5-13 km south of Orikhiv (Zaporizhzhia).

According to TASS, Russian troops repelled Ukrainian attacks near Robotyne (10 km south of Orikhiv) and Verbove (18 km southeast of Orikhi).

However, Mr. John Kirby, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said yesterday that the US recorded some notable progress by the Ukrainian armed forces in Zaporizhzhia in the past 72 hours. "They have made some successes while breaking through the second line of defense of the Russian army there," Reuters quoted Mr. Kirby.

Yesterday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had shot down two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over Belgorod, close to the Russia-Ukraine border. On the same day, Russia also said that its Black Sea fleet had sunk three unmanned ships, thereby stopping a plan to attack the bridge over Crimea.

In a notable development, the US is preparing to provide depleted uranium armor-piercing ammunition to Ukraine, marking the first time this type of ammunition has been sent to the Kyiv government since the war broke out, according to Reuters.
