According to Haidai: "The Russians opened fire on the Sievierodonetsk municipality, Lysychansk, Kreminna, Novodruzhesk, and Rubizhne. They damaged 17 sites - 12 residential buildings and 4 infrastructure and non-residential facilities.

In Lysychansk, one man was killed, three more people were injured, and two people were evacuated from the area being shelled before they could be hurt. Three houses were hit in Rubizhne."

Details: According to Haidai, rescuers are very frequently called out to the Rubizhne area, where Kadyrov's forces have been present for almost a month, and to the immediate zone of active hostilities. These factors mean there are many more fires and correspondingly more devastation in this city.

Two houses were burning overnight in Pavlograd near Sievierodonetsk. In Novodruzhesk, another two houses and some outbuildings were also on fire.

Flames have engulfed pine needle forest litter after Russian shelling in Kreminna and Shchedrishchev.
