West of Berestky, Russians took Stari Terny, and launched attacks from there towards between Dachne and Kurakhove. Street fighting continued within the latter city.

Russians advanced south of Dalnje towards Uspenivka, reaching the latter village. This particular advance made the threat of encirclement for the Ukrainians in villages Hannivka and Veselyi Hai very severe.

North of Velyka Novosilka, Russians took village Novyi Komar, after which Ukrainians counterattacked and retook the village. Fighting continued on the eastern outskirts of Velyka Novosilka. South of this town, Russians took village Blahodatne.
