Russian forces have renewed their offensive operations on the front line, with one of the hottest sectors being Pokrovske, where Ukrainian troops repelled 74 enemy attacks over the past day
This indicates a high intensity of fighting and constant pressure from Russian occupiers, who are attempting to break through the Ukrainian defensive line in strategically important sectors. According to the operational report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, over the last 24 hours, 168 combat encounters took place along various front lines, highlighting the scale and tension of hostilities. The greatest number of battles occurred in the Pokrovske direction, where Russian forces are trying to breach Ukrainian defenses. Active operations are also ongoing in the Lyman and Novopavlivka sectors, with a total of 50 skirmishes recorded. In the Kharkiv direction, the enemy made three assault attempts near strategic settlements such as Vovchansk and Kamianka. Ukrainian defenders courageously hold the frontline and prevent enemy advances. In the Kupiansk sector, the situation remains tense, but the attacks by the occupiers were repelled — the enemy made one attempt, which our military confidently repelled near Hlushkivka. Overall, on the Lyman sector, the enemy launched 24 strikes in an attempt to advance in the areas of Nova Kruhliakivka, Lozova, NovoEhorivka, Hrekivka, Kolodizі, Yampolivka, Ridkodub, and Hryhoriivka. Ukrainian troops prevented a breakthrough, and fighting continues with varying success for the enemy. The Russians are also actively attacking in the Siversk direction, trying five times to break through Ukrainian positions near Verkhnekamyanske and Bilohorivka. Ukrainian defenders held these battles and maintained control over key sectors. Heavy fighting continues on the Kramatorsk sector — eight clashes have been recorded near Chasiv Yar, Hryhoriivka, Bilya Horа, and Kurdyumivka. Fierce battles are ongoing there, but Ukrainian forces are giving a strong response to the enemy. On the Toretsk sector, the enemy launched 19 attacks in the areas of Toretsk, Kramatorsk, and Diliivka, attempting to break through Ukrainian defenses. Thanks to coordinated efforts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the enemy's advances were halted, and control over these sectors was maintained. The situation remains particularly tense in the Pokrovske and Novopavlivka directions. Ukrainian defenders managed to stop 74 and 26 attacks respectively, defending strategically important settlements such as Stara Mykolaivka, Yelyzavetivka, Myrolyubivka, Promin, Lysivka, Zvírove, Kotline, Udaichne, Kotliarivka, and Andriivka. The enemy employs all available means — from heavy artillery to aviation — attempting to break Ukrainian defenses and achieve their objectives. Elsewhere, the situation remains stable but tense. In the Orehiv sector, Ukrainian defenders repelled three assault attempts near Stepove, while on the Dnipro direction, one enemy attempt to breakthrough Ukrainian lines was thwarted. On the Kursk front, where enemy activity was observed yesterday, nine clashes occurred, including three airstrikes, six guided bombs dropped, and 210 artillery shellings, some of which involved missile systems. Meanwhile, no signs of large enemy offensive groups forming have been recorded in the southern and eastern directions — Huliaipole, Volynske, and Poliske sectors. Ukrainian servicemen continue active defense, carry out counterattacks, and disrupt enemy logistics and combat potential, inflicting significant losses in personnel and equipment. Overall, the situation on the front remains tense, but Ukrainian troops demonstrate a high level of combat readiness and the ability to effectively resist aggression. Constant battles, heroic resilience of defenders, and efforts to undermine enemy rear resources help to hold the line, as Ukraine prepares for further challenging trials in its fight for sovereignty.
