Russia launched a coordinated mechanized assault from two directions toward Orikhiv in Zaporizhia Oblast, attempting to breach Ukrainian defenses. Ukrainian drone operators detected the Russian column 6 kilometers behind the frontline and systematically destroyed multiple armored vehicles before they could reach defensive positions.

Ukrainian forces have launched a major counteroffensive near Dobropillia, methodically eliminating isolated Russian pockets and liberating multiple villages. When the Russian high command finally realized the scale of the collapse, desperate mechanized counterattacks only resulted in catastrophic losses, with over 1,200 casualties in one sector alone.
