  "summary": "Ukrainian forces have retaken two additional villages, Shandryholove and Derylove, in the Lyman community of Donetsk Oblast, according to battlefield monitoring project DeepState. This comes as part of Ukraine's ongoing Operation Vivaldi, an offensive operation in northern Donetsk Oblast. The Third Army Corps, which publicly confirmed the operation earlier this month, reported that Ukrainian troops liberated the village of Serednie on September 15 and pushed Russian troops back near Shandryholove. The operation remains in its first phase, with some information about newly liberated settlements still being kept secret for operational security reasons. The offensive is focused on the Lyman sector and the approaches to the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk urban area, with Ukrainian forces having cleared Russian infiltration groups from 75 square kilometers of territory and retaking another 10 square kilometers.",
