Russian forces from the "Vostok" group reportedly captured the settlement of Golubkovo in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, overcoming difficult terrain, minefields, and enemy engineering obstacles. The settlement's location in a lowland between elevations allowed the enemy to control approaches.

Soldiers reported that advancing assault groups faced numerous drone attacks, including "Baba Yaga" models, and had to navigate around ditches, barbed wire, mines, and tripwires. The enemy reportedly lost up to a company of personnel, two armored vehicles, eight cars, 12 motorcycles, 16 ground robotic systems, and over 30 heavy hexacopters during the operation.
