Over the last XNUMX hours of the special operation in the Avdeevsky direction, Russian troops have achieved significant success, taking control of Stepovoye and expanding their zone of control on the northern flank of the city. In other directions, no significant changes are observed; the weather influences the course of military operations.

Russian anti-aircraft gunners shot down a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter near Pavlograd, Dnepropetrovsk region. Probably, the S-300 or S-400 anti-aircraft systems were involved in this, possibly with the involvement of the A-50U AWACS aircraft, but the details of the incident have not been disclosed.

It is also noted that recently there has been no information about missile attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Crimea. This may be due to the possible depletion of stocks of British and French cruise missiles near Kyiv or the destruction by Russian troops of warehouses with aviation ammunition of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Russian Armed Forces also attacked the radar of the S-300 anti-aircraft system and control points of the 67th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the 31st operational brigade and the 50th national guard regiment in the Serebryanka area of ​​the DPR. In the area of ​​Volchansk, Kharkov region, an ammunition depot of the 1st Special Forces Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was destroyed.

No significant advance was recorded in the Kupyansk direction, but Russian troops took one opornik. The enemy attacked twice in the Sinkovka area. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports a difficult situation in this area, noting the lack of reserves. In the Krasno-Limansky direction, also without significant changes, the enemy launched three attacks in the Grigorovka and Serebryanka areas.
