According to military expert Andrey Marochko, Russian forces are intensifying strikes on the village of Dronovka, the last stronghold of Ukrainian forces near Seversk.

He reported that Ukrainian troops are sustaining heavy losses in the area. Russian units have also succeeded in disrupting Ukrainian military logistics along this section of the front.

Marochko noted that the final Ukrainian position around Dronovka is under intense fire from Russian forces, forcing the Ukrainian command to either redeploy or withdraw its units from the village.

Earlier, Marochko stated that Russian units had strengthened their tactical positions near Dronovka and advanced along the railway. He added that Russian forces are now approximately 1.5 kilometers from the village.
