The American Institute for the Study of War reported on June 26 that Russian forces had made small advances northwest of Avdiivka, including capturing positions along the O0544 Ocheretyne-Pokrovsk road.

The ISW states, “Geolocated images released on June 24 show that Russian forces advanced into an area just north of Sokil (northwest of Avdiivka). »

Russian bloggers shared geotagged images on June 25, confirming “that Russian forces occupy positions along the O0544 Ocheretyne-Pokrovsk road, just northwest of Ocheretyne (northwest of Avdiivka).”

Russian sources report further advances near Yasnobrodivka, west of Avdiivka, with one blogger saying Russian forces “have partially surrounded Ukrainian forces in the area.”

The ISW notes ongoing fighting in several locations around Avdiivka, including “north of Avdiivka, near Oleksandropil; northwest of Avdiivka near Yevhenivka, Novooleksandrivka, Vozdvyzhenka, Sokil and Novoselivka Persha; west of Avdiivka near Umanske and Yasnobrodivka; and southeast of Avdiivka, near Karlivka, Nevelske and the Karlivske reservoir.

ISW also reported on June 26 that Ukrainian forces had advanced in Vovchansk, northeast of the city of Kharkiv. “Geolocated images released on June 25 indicate that Ukrainian forces have recently advanced marginally along Soborna Street in central Vovchansk. »

The ISW mentions continued fighting north and northeast of the city of Kharkiv, notably near Lyptsi, Hlyboke, Vovchansk and Tykhe.

A Russian military blogger claimed that Russian forces carried out a strike on Vovchansk using a FAB-3000 glide bomb with a Unified Planning and Correction Module (UMPC), although the ISW notes this “cannot independently confirm that Russian forces used a FAB-3000 in the strike.”
