Over the past current period, more than 180 clashes have been recorded at the frontline. The situation remains particularly tense in the Pokrovske and Novopavlivka directions, where Russian occupiers carried out 68 and 55 attacks respectively. This indicates the enemy's efforts to continue assaults and their attempt to break through the Ukrainian defense at key points. In the Pokrovske direction, Russian troops carried out active offensive operations — conducting 68 assaults and offensive maneuvers in various locations throughout the day. Fighting there has been ongoing for many hours and persists in at least 15 areas.

The enemy attempted to advance in areas including Kostyantynopil, Novosilka, Rivnopil, Pryvilne, and other settlements, as well as in the directions of Odradne, Zeleno Pole, Novopolia, Shevchenk, and Bahatyr. On the Kursk direction, Ukrainian forces resolutely repelled 23 enemy attacks, despite ongoing active enemy actions in this region. According to reports, Russian invaders conducted four airstrikes and dropped seven KABs — cruise aerial bombs.

On the Lyman direction, the Russians assaulted Ukrainian positions 12 times near settlements such as Ridkodub, Yampolivka, Kolojazi, Torske, and in the direction of Hryhorivka.

Ukraine continues to fight for its territorial integrity and independence, maintaining courage and resilience in the face of constant attacks from the Russian army.
