- No news of activity along the Zaporizhzhia frontline
- Russian sources expressed concern about Ukrainian positions on the Dnipro River islands ahead of an anticipated Ukrainian counter-offensive
- The Kherson Oblast Occupation Administration claimed rumours of a potential Ukrainian counter-offensive crossing the Dnipro are just propaganda
