Russian reconnaissance and sabotage groups (DRGs) have entered the first houses in the city of Lyman, located in the northern part of Donetsk Oblast. This development marks a significant advance as Lyman serves as the last line of defense before the city of Slaviansk.
Further west, Russian troops have made progress towards the village of Alexandrovka and are approaching the area of Yarovaya. This military movement is creating a strategic encirclement around the city of Lyman.
