The group's artillery also hampered attempts to rotate the 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade units near Novoselovskoe.

In addition, artillery shelled the positions of the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade and territorial defense units near Rozovka, Stelmahovka, Sandy, and Kotlyarovka.

Ukraine's losses in this direction amounted to an infantry platoon, a US-made M113 armored vehicle, and an ammunition depot.

In the direction of Dvurechensky, the Group's units captured five strongholds and four observation posts near Masyutovka and Sinkovka. Kyiv's forces lost more than an infantry platoon, a Polish-made Krab self-propelled artillery piece, and an American-made AN/TPQ-50 counter-artillery radar. Intense Russian fire also destroyed a Gvozdika self-propelled artillery piece.

A Buk air defense system of the Group also shot down a Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopter in Kutkovka and a Leleka 100 reconnaissance drone in Liman. The Tor-M2U air defense system also shot down an A1-CM Furia reconnaissance drone over Veliky Vyselok.
