Russian forces straightened the front line in the north, consolidating their control of the fields directly north of the warehouses. To the south of Novomykhailivka, Russian forces were successful in the attacks they conducted over the past few days (seen here), taking full control over the fields and the trench system south-west of the town. The capture of this area has destabilised Ukrainian positions, and will accelerate the fall of Novomykhailivka, as Ukrainian troops are forced to split their attention between attacks from within the town, and potential flanking attacks on the main road from the south.
