Russian forces have broken through Ukrainian defenses in the north of Avdiivka and continue to apply pressure on the southern outskirts, threatening to make it the first city to fall since Bakhmut last May. The 110th Brigade, responsible for the city's defense, is facing a critical situation with depleted forces, an acute ammunition shortage, and targeted attacks on drone operators by Russian artillery and aviation. This dire situation is partly attributed to the U.S. Congress withholding further military aid. Continuous assaults along the front line have been ongoing over the past 24 hours, with the heaviest fighting reported throughout the night.
