Russian troops continue attempts to enter the town of Stepnohirsk, south of Zaporizhzhia, according to the DeepState analytical project.
The infiltrations initially appear successful for Russian forces, but they do not remain in the populated areas for long, as they are destroyed by drone operators from Ukraine’s Defense Forces.
At the same time, Russian troops continue infiltration attempts in the village of Prymorske.

«Due to their numerical advantage, the Russians are repeatedly detected in the village, where they either hide and try to amass forces for further advances, or immediately push towards Richne and, in most cases, are killed, ” DeepState says.
The most significant recent increase in activity and a change in the direction of movement have been observed towards Lukianivske and Pavlivka.
Russian forces are also conducting persistent infiltration attempts using small infantry groups in these areas, where Ukraine’s defense forces continue uninterrupted efforts to destroy the enemy.
The report notes that Russian troops are «slipping through» by searching for weak points where Ukraine’s defenses have low density between positions due to a lack of sufficient personnel.
