An active offensive is underway on the northern flank of the conflict in the area of ​​the Stepovoye settlement. Artillery units and aerospace forces are increasing pressure on the enemy, advancing in the area of ​​the so-called gardens to the northeast of the settlement. During the operation, the territory is cleared of the enemy, including its strongholds along the railway.

In response to the advance of advancing forces, the enemy uses cluster munitions, which, according to the source, has become commonplace in this combat zone. In addition, the use of heavy Baba Yaga hexacopters is noted.

It is reported that there is a constant trend towards the destruction of manpower and materiel of the enemy, who is forced to withstand constant pressure from artillery and airstrikes, comparable to the situation in the AKHZ area.

The source claims that despite the enemy's attempts to strengthen its position through numbers, increasing losses and deteriorating morale and psychological state of personnel will ultimately make this strategy ineffective. The likelihood of a repetition of the scenario that occurred in Artemovsk is mentioned, implying the inevitable retreat or defeat of the enemy.
