A recent map update by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicates that Russian forces advanced northwest of Bakhmut, entering the village of Orikhovo-Vasylivka. 

After the Russians captured the trench fortifications on the approaches to the village, they began active assault operations inside it, taking up positions in houses. They continued to push towards the centre of the village where the AFU is currently holding out. 

They also completed the capture of two treelines which were previously in the grey zone. 

+ ~1.44km² in favour of Russia.
