At that time, Russian forces attacked the settlement near Shakhtarske using armoured vehicles and infantry. “In the afternoon, a convoy of eight armoured vehicles reached the village [of Shakhtarske] and attempted to break through towards Velyka Novosilka. One armoured combat vehicle was hit, forcing the rest to pull back. By evening, a larger convoy of over 15 armoured vehicles arrived and split at Zolota Nyva. Part of the convoy again tried to advance towards Velyka Novosilka, but after the lead vehicle was hit, they decided to retreat. The fate of the remaining vehicles in the convoy is unknown.”
Russian forces deployed infantry in Bohoiavlenka, a settlement a few kilometres from Shakhtarske, near a farm to the west of the village on 25 October. The fighting there lasted until nightfall.
