# Breakthrough in the South: Ukrainian Forces Recapture 8 Square Kilometers and Tighten the Noose Around Occupiers

The map of hostilities in Ukraine continues to change, and the latest data from the OSINT project DeepState indicates significant progress by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On the southern front, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, Ukrainian troops conducted a successful operation, regaining control of a strategically important area of land.

### Successes in the Synelnykove District

The main event of the last 24 hours was the complete liberation of a territory covering 8.31 square kilometers. Fighting took place in the area of the village of Novoselivka in the Synelnykove district. The Armed Forces of Ukraine not only established a foothold here but also advanced further, liberating lands south of the village up to the outskirts of the settlement of Voronivske. This is a serious step that disrupts the enemy's logistical chains and opens up new opportunities for further offensive operations.

### Mass Clearing Operations on the Oleksandrivka Axis

Parallel to the liberation of specific settlements, Ukrainian military personnel are conducting large-scale clearing operations in the Volnovakha district of the Donetsk region. According to the report, enemy positions near the villages of Voronivske, Yanyarne, Poddubne, Tolste, Novokhatke, and Zeleny Hai came under attack. These actions confirm the General Staff's information about successful advances on the Oleksandrivka sector of the front.

### Frontline Dynamics: Figures and Facts

Looking at the overall picture, the area of Russian occupation on this axis decreased by 46.38 square kilometers in a single day. This is an impressive figure that speaks to the high tempo of offensive actions. At the same time, it is worth noting that the so-called "grey zone" — an area of penetration where active fighting is taking place and control over the territory is constantly changing — increased by 38.52 sq. km.

Against the backdrop of these events, fighting in the Kharkiv region also remains intense. The Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully pushed back the occupiers in the area of the village of Ambarnе, as well as refuted false reports of the enemy capturing Novovasylivka. The situation on the front remains tense, but the momentum is clearly shifting in favor of the Ukrainian warriors.
