A large and exhausting battle continues at the frontline: over the past day, Ukrainian forces engaged in 150 combat engagements with Russian occupiers, more than thirty-five of which took place in the Pokrovsk sector, once again confirming its status as one of the most fierce and hottest areas in the combat zone
According to official information released by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the situation remains tense and complex, with the enemy continuing to employ a broad tactical range of missile and air strikes, as well as artillery shelling. At the onset of the day, the enemy carried out over 150 separate clashes with Ukrainian defenders, 45 of which were recorded in the Pokrovsk sector — a strategically vital section of the front line that remains the hottest today in terms of intense fighting and counterattacks. The enemy actively uses aviation and various means of destruction, launching one missile strike and 50 air attacks. Additionally, they are trying at all costs to break through Ukrainian defenses, dropping 80 guided aerial bombs and launching more than 1,290 kamikaze drones, which particularly complicates the situation at Ukrainian positions and in residential areas. Ukrainian soldiers demonstrate remarkable resilience and courage, repelling the enemy on all key directions. For example, in the Kharkiv region, the enemy attacked positions near the settlements of Vovchansk, Kamyanka, and Dvorychna three times. In the Kupiansk segment, the enemy attempted five breakthroughs, trying to gain control over lands in the areas of Kolisnykivka, Kruheliivka, and Zahrysivka — fighting is ongoing in two of these locations. Also, on the Lyman sector, the enemy launched 16 attacks, attempting to storm positions near several settlements, including Nove, Novomykhailivka, Zelena Dolyna, Torske, Hrechenkivka, and Yampolivka. These attempts are currently successfully repelled by Ukrainian forces, and fighting continues in this sector as well. The situation remains just as tense in the Kramatorsk sector: here, Ukrainian defenders have managed to repel two out of three attacks, with enemy breakthroughs still occurring near Kurdiumivka and Bilya Gora. Meanwhile, in the Toretsk direction, the Russians carried out 20 attacks on Ukrainian positions, trying to advance toward Romanivka, Ozaryanivka, Krymske, Druzhba, and Torsk — intense fighting persists. Ukrainian forces have managed to repulse most of these attacks, but fighting in this sector has not yet concluded. Another particularly intense sector is the Pokrovsk front, where Russian troops attempted to breach Ukrainian defenses 45 times over the past day in the areas of Shevchenko Pershe, Mirolyubivka, Yelizavetivka, Malynivka, Lysivka, Udachne, Novomykolaivka, Troitske, Kotlyarivka, and Andriivka. During these numerous assaults, Ukrainian defenders successfully stopped the enemy, destroying personnel and equipment. According to Ukrainian official figures, in this sector over the past day, 403 occupiers were neutralized, including 237 who lost their lives irreversibly. Additionally, seven combat armored vehicles, 14 cars, 40 motorcycles, one self-propelled artillery system 2S1, a gun, a mortar, and 13 unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed. At the same time, a tank, an armored combat vehicle, several cars and motorcycles, as well as enemy weapons and communication equipment, were damaged. In southern Ukraine, Ukrainian Defense Forces maintain active defenses, halting Russian advances in various sectors. Notably, 18 enemy attacks were recorded in the Novopavlivka sector, most of which were repelled. The enemy attempted to break through Ukrainian positions near the settlements of Novopil, Zelenе Pole, Vilne Pole, Bahatyri, Vesele, Burlatske, and areas of Odradne. The prolonged and tense fighting is evidenced by the fact that nine more clashes are still ongoing. In the Orehiv sector, the occupiers made five assault attempts on Ukrainian positions in the areas of Stepoe and Novodanylivka — these were repelled, and losses were inflicted. In the Prydniprovsk sector, the enemy made two unsuccessful attempts to attack Ukrainian fortified positions, while on the Kursk direction, 39 assault actions and four ongoing combat attempts have been recorded. Overall, the Ukrainian military command and defenders demonstrate high combat capability and the ability to systematically counter each enemy attack. At the same time, the enemy continues to use all available means of destruction — aviation, missiles, drones, and artillery — to achieve its goals. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are exerting all efforts to hold their lines, repel breakthroughs, and protect civilians under extremely difficult conditions of active hostilities.
