In the most intense sectors of the front, Ukrainian defenders intercepted nearly 200 enemy engagements over the past day, demonstrating resilience and determination in fierce battles
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the highest level of enemy activity was recorded in the Pavlovsk direction, where our troops managed to halt 61 enemy assault attempts, evidencing the high skill and combat readiness of Ukrainian soldiers. Overall, during the past day, Ukrainian positions and settlements on other frontlines were subjected to intense shelling and enemy attacks. The enemy launched two missile strikes, one of which was shot down by Ukrainian air defense, while the other caused damage to nearby areas. Additionally, Russian occupiers intensified their air aggressive actions, conducting 89 airstrikes, deploying over 1,157 guided bombs, which seriously complicate life for civilians and pose an immediate threat to infrastructure. Artillery and multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) shelling remain significant problems. Over the past day, the enemy carried out more than six thousand strikes, including 151 from MLRS. Despite this, Ukrainian units show unwavering resolve and high professionalism, repelling attacks and inflicting losses on the enemy. For example, on the Kharkiv sector, the occupiers attempted to break through Ukrainian defenses 11 times near Vovchansk, Vovchansk Huts, and Kamianka, but all attempts were unsuccessful. On the Kupiansk front, six attacks were launched, which Ukrainian soldiers successfully repelled in the areas of Hlushkivka, Nove Kruhliivka, and Zazryzove. Meanwhile, on the Lyman front, the enemy made 24 probing assaults near Kopanky, Hrekyvka, Kolodiazy, as well as in the regions of Ridkodub, Novyi Mir, and Oligivka. All attacks were repelled successfully, with Ukrainian defenders holding their positions and preventing further enemy advances. Tensions also remained high in other parts of the front. On the Siversky direction, Russian forces launched six attacks near Verkhniokamianske and Bilohorivka—Ukrainian soldiers held their positions and prevented the enemy from advancing. In the Kramatorsk sector, ten combat clashes took place in areas including Bilohorivka, Chasiv Yar, and Predtechi—defenses remain tense, and enemy efforts have been unsuccessful. In the Toretsk direction, Russia conducted 13 attacks near Shcherbynivka, Toretsk, and in the Diliivka area, all of which were successfully repelled by Ukrainian defenders. On the Pokrovsk direction, 61 enemy attempts to break through in areas such as Yelyzavetivka, Pokrovsk, Troyitske, Malynivka, and other strategic points were thwarted by our forces. All were suppressed. In the Novopavlivka sector, Ukrainian forces successfully repelled 32 Russian attacks in areas including Kostyantynivka, Novosilka, and Vile Opportunity. Meanwhile, on the Huliaipole front, the enemy made one attempt to break through, which also failed. Defenders of the Orikhiv sector valiantly held their positions, repelling seven enemy attacks in the regions of Stepove, Kaminne, and Shcherbakiv. On the Dnipro line, as well as in the Kursk sector, Ukrainian troops reaffirmed their combat readiness: the enemy made another unsuccessful attempt to push forward; on the approaches to Kursk, our units repelled 19 Russian attacks, destroying several fuel depots, command posts, and concentration points of equipment. Overall, the Ukrainian army not only prevents enemy progress but also actively strikes at key targets. Over the past day, Ukrainian missile and artillery systems destroyed 10 enemy concentrations of personnel and equipment, 2 UAV command points, 6 artillery systems, as well as fuel depots and an enemy radar station. This demonstrates the effectiveness and precision of Ukrainian counteroffensive tactics, as well as the high level of training and cohesion of Ukrainian forces, who, despite difficulties, hold the line and inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
