- Ukrainians claim to have taken out several pieces of this equipment, though unverified
- Activity in the grey zone around the gas pumping station near Spirna, Russians may have made minor advances but taken losses

Shoot Down of Russian Helicopter in Bryansk
Breaking news of a Russian Mi-8 helicopter shot down by a missile near Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast, about 45km from the Ukrainian border.
