Ukrainian forces secured new positions in Mala Tokmachka while Russian troops advanced near Pokrovsk following extensive overnight drone exchanges.

Following extensive overnight drone exchanges, ground reports indicate shifting positions alongside further details on target damage. Ukrainian forces have reportedly secured new positions in the western part of Mala Tokmachka on the Zaporizhzhia front. Concurrently, Russian troops have expanded control southeast of Kostiantynivka and advanced northwest of Pokrovsk.

Additional civilian impact was recorded overnight, including a Russian drone strike on a school building in Yahotyn, Kyiv Oblast, though students in shelters escaped harm. In Russia's Novgorod Oblast, local officials confirmed a mass drone attack damaged an industrial facility and two private residences, though no casualties were reported there.

These ground and air developments follow major overnight raids that damaged port infrastructure in Ust-Luga and hit energy facilities in Kryvyi Rih and Kharkiv.
