As of the evening, two active battles took place near Bilohorivka and Verkhniokamianske. The enemy also attempted to advance here, but Ukrainian defenders repelled these attempts. In the Kramatorsk direction, Ukrainian forces managed to halt eight assaults by the occupiers in the areas of Kurdiumivka, Orekhovo-Vasylivka, and in the directions of Bila Hory, Markove, and Stupochky. This once again confirms the high combat capability of our soldiers and their ability to hold strategically important frontline positions.
