In the Stepnohirsk direction, Russian forces intensified their assault operations and have made significant progress.

In Stepnohirsk, Russian forces managed to consolidate in the northern high-rise buildings of the 3rd Micro-district, before advancing further north, where they entrenched along Ahrarna Street which was already a grey zone. Due to recent emergency Ukrainian redeployments to the Hulyaipole direction, the Ukrainians were unable to carry out their usual clearing operations on Ahrarna Street, allowing for Russian soldiers to accumulate and cross the river at multiple points.

From there, the Russians secured Tavriivska Street and outflanked the block of high-rise buildings in central Stepnohirsk from the east and west, capturing additional positions in the residential areas. Infiltrations are now taking place towards the rear of the high-rises, as well as into its southern buildings, where grey-zones have formed.

Meanwhile, in the southeast, Russian forces resumed their assault operations, recapturing previously lost positions in eight different treelines northeast of Kamyanske.

In the northwest, the Russians consolidated additional positions in the southern part of Prymorske, while DRGs continue infiltrating to the second gulley.

The "Nablus Battalion" stated that their fighters carried out 1 IED attack, 1 hand-grenade attack, and 1 small arms attack on IDF military vehicles in the Balata Refugee Camp in Nablus City. The IDF didn't report any casualties among their forces.

The "Tubas Battalion" stated that their fighters carried out 2 IED attacks and 1 small arms attack in the city of Tubas. The IDF didn't report any casualties among their forces.

The PIJ reported that multiple Israeli soldiers were wounded as a result of these recent attacks, however this has not been confirmed. The PIJ also announced the deaths of 6 of its fighters, while the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced the death of 1 of its fighters.

As usual with these attacks, limited coordination between militant cells and a lack of training means that the results are very limited.
