Military Briefing: Russian Attacks in Eastern and Southern Ukraine Exceeded 80 Incidents in One Day
According to official sources, the Armed Forces of Ukraine recorded a massive shelling and attacks by Russian occupying troops, confirming the tense situation on the front lines. Over the past 24 hours, more than 146 combat engagements and active battles took place across nine strategic directions and the Kursk plank. Specifically, Ukrainian defenders repelled more than 80 enemy attacks in the regions of Pokrovsky, Lyman, and Novopavlivka directions. The source of this report is the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which daily reflects the real situation on the frontline. Military analysis indicates that the enemy has intensified activity in several key areas, aiming to break through the Ukrainian front and gain a tactical advantage in eastern regions. In the Kharkiv region, military units faced three clashes occurring in the areas of Fiholivka, Hlyboke, and Krasne Pershe. Although these did not escalate into large-scale battles, the situation remains tense with periodic shelling and attempts to break through Ukrainian positions. On the Kupiansk direction, the enemy launched at least ten attacks. Invaders attempted assault operations in the areas of Stepova, Novoselivka, and Nova Kruhliakivka, but Ukrainian defenses held firm, repelling pressure from Wagner units and other divisions. On the Lyman front, the enemy conducted 20 attacks, sharply attempting to advance in regions such as Hrekyivka, Novomykhailivka, Nadiya, Ridkodub, and Yampol. Ukrainian defenders forcefully repelled these assaults, preventing further deep incursions into Ukrainian territory. In the Severodonetsk direction, Russian forces carried out eight attacks near Bilohorivka, Verkhnekamyanske, and close to Hryhorivka. The enemy aimed to consolidate control over these areas, but Ukrainian units actively countered the assaults, preventing the invaders from strengthening their positions. On the Kramatorsk front, Ukrainian troops withstood five attacks in the Chasiv Yar area and near Bilia Hora, holding back the enemy's push and preventing further eastward advances. On the Toretsk direction, enemy forces launched 11 attacks in the Toretsk and Diliyivka areas, but Ukrainian defenders succeeded in halting the numerically superior enemy, avoiding a breakthrough. At the same time, on the Pokrovsk direction, Ukrainian troops successfully repelled 47 enemy attacks in the areas of Popiv Yar, Myrolubivka, Malynivka, Lysivka, Udačne, Novoserhiiivka, Novomykolaivka, and Andriivka. This is an extremely tense defensive line, where every minute of combat preserves the integrity of Ukrainian positions. Significant combat activity also continued on the Novopavlivka front, where Ukrainian forces repelled 14 attacks in the areas of Novosilka, Zelenye Polya, Novopol, Vilyne Polye, Bahatyri, Kostyantynivka, and Odrohdne. The enemy reports heavy losses of personnel and equipment, which helps Ukrainian troops maintain their defense and prevent the enemy from advancing further into eastern regions. Near Stepove on the Orekhivsky direction, two unsuccessful attacks by Russian forces took place — Ukrainian defenders successfully held their positions. Meanwhile, the Kursk direction has become a focal point of particularly intense fighting. There, 19 combat engagements occurred. The enemy carried out a series of artillery shellings — a total of 215 rounds from various systems, including six from multiple launch rocket systems. Additionally, the Russians used 10 air strikes, dropping 28 guided bombs, aiming to gain control and push forward. Contrary to that, military operations on the Huliaypilske and Dnipro directions were not recorded. Ukrainian forces are currently holding their positions and preventing enemy advances. Similarly, there are no signs of offensive groups forming in the Volyn and Polissya directions, which indicates strategic stability in these regions. Overall, the Ukrainian army actively counteracts the enemy, inflicting significant losses on retreating Russian forces in manpower and equipment, while also conducting extensive sabotage activities behind enemy lines. This not only constrains the enemy but also increases Ukraine’s prospects for a swift victory, ensuring security and stability in the future. Ukrainian military personnel remain resolute, maintaining defenses and preparing for new challenges as the enemy attempts to break through Ukrainian lines.
