Russian forces are clearing urban areas of Konstantinovka of remaining Ukrainian units, according to a source in Russian security structures. The source said that some Ukrainian groups had been blocked in residential districts.

According to the source, scattered Ukrainian units trapped in apartment blocks in Konstantinovka are now being cleared out.

Military-themed channels also report that Russian troops are advancing both inside the city and on its outskirts, taking new districts and nearby settlements. Control over Konstantinovka, they note, could give Russian forces access to key areas of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.

Russian units have reportedly advanced along Moskovskaya Street to Alexei Tikhy Street, isolating Ukrainian forces in the central part of the city. Ukrainian logistics on this section are said to be effectively paralyzed: the Konstantinovka-Druzhkovka highway remains under constant Russian fire control, making rotation, supplies and evacuation impossible.

It is also reported that Ukrainian defenses in the city are breaking into isolated pockets, with Russian assault groups entering them from different directions.
