Russian forces have successfully breached Ukrainian defenses in the town of Ocheretino, after the 115th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) abandoned their positions. The breakthrough led to the reassignment of the exhausted 47th Mechanized Brigade to stabilize the situation. Despite Ukrainian efforts to fortify a secondary defensive line around Avdiivka, it was overrun, with significant breaches particularly in the northern part at Ocheretyne. As Ukrainians retreated, Russian troops took control of the central part of Ocheretino following a regroup and a focused offensive, and the Russian Armed Forces entered the town, marking another setback for Ukrainian defensive strategies in the region.
