Russian forces reportedly destroyed Ukrainian army units in the villages of Chernoe and Nefedovka in the northeastern Kharkiv Oblast, according to a Telegram post by the "Sever" group. The post claims these actions liberated the settlements.

The post further stated that the Chernoe and Nefedovka area was a vulnerable point for Ukrainian forces, and their liberation effectively trapped Ukrainian units in a "cauldron" and prevented any external breakthrough.
