[4] Russian sources claimed that Russian forces repelled a Ukrainian MGM-140 ATACMS strike against occupied Sevastopol on August 2. Geolocated footage published on August 2 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced north of Rozdolivka (south of Siversk), confirming that Russian forces previously seized the settlement. Russian milbloggers continued to claim that Russian forces are advancing in Zalizne (southeast of Toretsk) and in central Niu York.

Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces advanced into southeastern Serhiivka and western Zhelanne (both southeast of Pokrovsk), although another Russian milblogger denied claims that Russian forces entered Zhelanne.
