On the Sivershchyna front, Russia continues to deploy separate units from its Western Military District in parts of Bryansk and Kursk oblasts (Russia) near the Russian-Ukrainian border in order to demonstrate its military presence in the area and pin down the Ukrainian Defence Forces [and therefore prevent them from being transferred to other, more active fronts - ed.].

On the Sloviansk front, the Russians used tubed artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) to fire on areas in and around Dolyna, Dibrivne and Krasnopillia and conducted aerial reconnaissance near Nova Dmytrivka. They deployed an electronic warfare system in order to interfere with the Ukrainian military navigation systems.
