Russian forces continue small-group infantry assaults and artillery strikes on Mala Tokmachka in the Orikhiv sector of Zaporizhzhia oblast, targeting positions including a correctional facility, as part of efforts to secure approaches to Orikhiv and Zaporizhzhia city. Ukrainian units from the 118th Mechanized Brigade and supporting forces have conducted local counterattacks, recently retaking substantial western areas of the village and maintaining defensive positions amid heavy drone and FPV activity on both sides. Russian claims of control over eastern or southeastern sections have repeatedly failed to translate into sustained, verified consolidation, reflecting the village’s role as a protracted defensive strongpoint. Nearby Russian advances from the northeast toward Orikhiv have not yet altered the immediate tactical balance around Mala Tokmachka, where positional fighting persists without a decisive breakthrough.
