Over the past 24 hours, the situation at the front remains extremely tense and complex
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian troops recorded 156 combat engagements, indicating a high level of activity and escalation of hostilities across various sectors. Notably, there were 59 enemy attacks solely on the Pokrovske direction, underscoring the ongoing importance of controlling this strategic region. The military command reports that the enemy actively employs a variety of weaponry. In the last day, the opponent launched 50 air strikes, employing over 100 guided aerial bombs, and also used kamikaze drones—totaling 1,117 drones. During these operations, the enemy carried out more than 4,100 shellings on Ukrainian positions, as well as civilian objects and settlements, creating threats to the lives and safety of civilians. On the Kharkiv direction, fighting has intensified again: the enemy launched two attacks on Ukrainian defenders' positions in the Vovchansk area and toward Kutkivka. This demonstrates attempts by Russian occupiers to break through defenses and advance further into Ukrainian territory. On the Kupiansk direction, there were also three offensive attempts by the enemy near Zahrizove and in the Pishane area. The adversary is trying to regain the initiative and intensify pressure in this sector of the front. On the Lyman direction, the occupiers increased activity with 22 attacks near Yampolivka, Kopanki, Novomyhailivka, Zelenaya Dolina, Torsk, and in the directions of Hlushchenkove, Karpivka, Serebrianka, Yampol, Hryhoriivka, Novyi Myr, Ridkodub, and Olhivka. This once again demonstrates the deliberate actions of Russian troops and their attempt to consolidate control over these territories. On the Sievierodonetsk direction, Russian forces made four assaults on Ukrainian positions in the areas of Verkhnekamyanske, Bilohorivka, and toward Hryhoriivka. The fighting remains intense here, and Ukrainian defenders are doing everything possible to repel the attacks and maintain control. On the Kramatorsk direction, six attacks were registered in the areas of Chasiv Yar, Bilya Hora, Kurdiumivka, and in the direction of Predtechyne. Overall, this sector remains dynamic, with frequent clashes and significant enemy activity. On the Toretskyi direction, the situation is complicated by 13 combat engagements in the areas of Toretsk, Novospaiske, and in the directions of Diliivka and Ivanopillia. Ukrainian forces are fiercely holding their positions despite numerous attempts by the enemy to break through. A particularly tense situation persists on the Pokrovske direction, where Russian troops carried out 59 enemy attacks over the day in settlements such as Myrolybivka, Zvirove, Yelizavetivka, Malynivka, Lysivka, Udaichne, Novoserhiivka, Troitske, Kotlyarivka, Andriivka, and in the directions of Zora, Novoukrainka, Starynska Mykolaivka, Shevchenko Pervyi, Nova Poltavka, Popiv Yar, Myrnohrad, and Novomykolaivka. Despite persistent resistance from Ukrainian forces, the enemy seeks to penetrate deeper into Ukrainian defenses, using all available means of destruction. On the Novopavlivske direction, Ukrainian soldiers successfully repelled 16 attacks in the areas of Kostyantynopil, Pryvilne, Rivnopole, Vilne Pole, and around settlements of Novopole, Bahatyri, and Zelenyi Pole. At the same time, the enemy used aircraft, conducting air strikes on Hulyaipole and Malynivka, adding further tension and demonstrating Russia's desire to intensify its offensive. On the Orikhiv direction, where Ukrainian defenders hold their positions, enemy forces launched four attacks toward Mala Tokmachka and near Stepove. An air strike was also carried out on Stepne, indicating increased activity by Russian forces in this part of the front. Particularly noteworthy are the battles in the Dnipro direction. Enemy units attempted to advance once, but Ukrainian troops successfully repelled this attack. Additionally, the enemy conducted a guided bomb strike on the settlement of Kozatske, indicating continued tactics of targeting civilian objects and infrastructure. On the Kursk direction, the situation remains tense: Ukrainian forces repelled ten enemy attacks, while the enemy launched 11 air strikes and employed over 20 guided airborne bombs. The Russians further carried out 202 artillery shellings, including seven from multiple launch rocket systems, contributing to the ongoing threat to Ukrainian defenders and regional civilians. Overall, the past day at the front demonstrates the intensity and ongoing escalation of hostilities. Ukrainian troops maintain their defenses, exerting maximum effort to hold their positions and counter enemy advances. Meanwhile, the adversary continues to utilize all available means—aircraft, drones, artillery—to subjugate Ukrainian territories and create increasingly difficult conditions for defenders.
