Russia has reportedly pulled back from Vovchansk. The aggregate plant had fallen earlier and now Russians have withdrawn from the northern section of the town.
As a result, Russian positions north of the aggregate plant and east of the now-destroyed Citadel became completely untenable due to Ukrainian fire control from the plant. This fire control enabled Ukrainian forces to intensify their counterattacks, swiftly pushing the Russians back several streets from the south and east of the salient.
With positions inside Vovchansk nearly untenable for Russian forces, the Russian command has been forced to keep the bulk of their troops in the forests north of the city, leaving only a smaller contingent in the town. While these forces are less exposed to Ukrainian fire outside the city, the falling autumn leaves are reducing their cover, making it easier for Ukrainians to deploy thermite drones against their positions. Combat footage shows Russian troops being quickly targeted by Ukrainian artillery in the forests soon after detection, dispersing them and preventing further squad-sized assaults in Vovchansk.

This is a rather compelling video of a Russian soldier who survives an assault, then hides in a dugout for a week and survives several drone-dropped grenades before begging to surrender. The drone operator drops a water bottle to him and guides him out.
