In Donetsk Oblast, the zone of mandatory child evacuation has been expanded, according to the Oblast Military Administration (OVA). This applies to parts of Sloviansk, and settlements in the Sviatohirsk, Novodonetske, and Sloviansk communities.

Simultaneously, the Dnipropetrovsk OVA has requested the government to exempt the frontline region from 'red' and 'yellow' air raid siren levels, citing constant attacks that make control and application of the gradation impossible.
