Last 24 hours, the situation on the Ukrainian front remained tense and highly dynamic, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The enemy demonstrated particular activity on the Pokrovsk direction, where the most intense clashes and enemy attacks were recorded. Overall, during the past 24 hours, there were about 175 attempts to break through and clashes in various sectors of enemy activity — as indicated by official Ukrainian military statistics. According to the representatives of the General Staff, Russian armed formations continue to use a wide range of artillery and unmanned aerial vehicles, launching numerous shellings of Ukrainian positions and civilian infrastructure. Yesterday, the enemy carried out over 110 airstrikes and 72 missile attacks involving 201 kamikaze drones, which is enough to create tense and destructive conditions in the front-line territories. The most intense situation was on the Kupiansk direction, where the occupiers launched four large-scale attacks. Ukrainian troops managed to halt assaults near Nova Krugliakivka, Zrazivka, and in the direction of Bohuslavka, preventing further enemy advances. On the Lyman direction, the situation was even more tense — 15 enemy attacks were recorded. The occupiers attempted to break through Ukrainian defenses near Nova, Kolodiazhi, Torske, Yampolivka, as well as in the areas of Olhivka, Rїdkodub, and Novyi Mir. However, Ukrainian defenders repeatedly repelled these enemy advance attempts. On the Siverskyi direction, Ukrainian soldiers also showed determination, destroying 8 enemy attacks near Bilohorivka, and in the areas of Verkhniokamianske and Hryhoriivka. Meanwhile, the situation in the Kramatorsk sector remained relatively tense: there were 13 combat clashes in the areas of Chasiv Yar, Andriivka, and in the directions of Bilia Gora, Predtechyne, and Diliiivka. On the Toretskyi direction, enemy activity increased further — there were 17 enemy attacks yesterday in the areas of Toretsk, Leoniivka, Shcherbyneve, Dachne, and in the directions of Diliiivka and Novospaske. Ukrainian units managed to prevent breakthroughs and halt their pressure, thus maintaining the tactical balance in the area. The most volatile situation was on the Pokrovsk direction, where Ukrainian forces had to repel 65 assaults in the areas of Vodyane Second, Zviriv, Tarasivka, Sukhyi Yar, Berezivka, Malynivka, Yelizavetivka, Lysivka, Kotlyne, Udaichne, as well as in the directions of Novoserhiivka, Uspenivka, Novooleksandrivka, Nadiiivka, Kotliarivka, Andriivka, and in adjacent areas of Pokrovsk, Novopavlivka, Chunyshyne, Oleksiivka, Stara Mykolaivka, Romanivka, and Myrolubivka. This series of attacks demonstrates continuous pressure from the occupiers and a high level of their combat activity. On the Novopavlivka direction, the enemy launched 10 attacks in the areas of Kostyantynivka, Pryvilne, as well as in the directions of Rozlyv and Odradne, but Ukrainian forces successfully repelled all attempts to break through. The situation on the Orikhiv direction was no less tense — the enemy made 9 attempts to break through in the areas of Novodanilivka, Maly Shcherbaky, Stepove, Shcherbaky, and in the direction of Mala Tokmachka, but all were successfully repelled by Ukrainian defenders. In other sectors, the situation remained calmer — on the Prydniprovske direction, Ukrainian units stopped three attempts by Russian forces to advance. Overall, activity on the Kharkiv and Huliaipole directions was practically absent during the past day, indicating a temporary stabilization of the situation in these regions. Ukrainian defense forces continue to operate and hold their positions, but tensions are rising, and the movement of the enemy towards Ukraine's borders remains an unwelcome scenario. Regarding the situation near the Russian border, in Kursk region, Ukrainian forces are actively working to deter the enemy. During the day, Russian armed forces launched 17 airstrikes and dropped 26 kamikaze drones, posing a deadly threat to Ukrainian positions and civilian infrastructure in border areas. There were 367 artillery and missile shellings, including 5 using rocket systems. The enemy made 27 assaults and attempted advances, but Ukrainian soldiers held their positions. Overall, the situation remains tense, but Ukrainian military personnel demonstrate resilience and professionalism, maintaining the defense and preventing the enemy from fully breaking through. Local residents and defenders are working together to ensure security and stabilize the front-line situation, despite the constant pressure from occupying forces.
