According to the summary as of 10:00 p.m. on June 15, there were over 130 combat engagements during the day, the majority of which took place in the Pokrovsk, Novopavlivka, and Kursk directions, indicating an escalation of the enemy’s tactical activity in the combat zone. According to the General Staff, on the Pokrovsk direction, Russian occupiers attempted to break through the Ukrainian defenses several dozen times within this short period, in the areas of Malynivka, Myrolubivka, Promin, Lysivka, Novoseriivka, Udačne, and Oleksiivka, as well as in the directions of Mykolaivka, Novopavlivka, Novomykolaivka, and the city of Pokrovsk. Preliminary data indicates that enemy attacks were repelled, and three separate clashes continue to this day. As a result of combat, several settlements sustained airstrikes, including Kopteve, Novopavlivka, Poltavka, Razine, and Sukhyi Yar. Evacuations and elimination of enemy personnel are ongoing; according to defenders, approximately 136 enemy units were destroyed that day, including 84 irrecoverably. On the Novopavlivka front, the enemy made 22 attempts to breach Ukrainian defenses in the areas of Kostyantinopil, Novosilka, Vilne Polye, Novyi Koma, and also in the directions of Myrne, Shevchenkove, Odradne, and Bahatyr. Combat was reignited — currently, four such clashes are ongoing. The enemy conducted aerial strikes on settlements such as Novopil, Tolsta, Voskresenka, and Myrne. Ukrainian military reports state that 136 invaders were eliminated that day, including 84 irrecoverably. The Kursk direction was also not overlooked by the enemy. There, 21 combat engagements took place, six of which are still ongoing. The occupiers employed 12 airstrikes, dropping over 25 guided bombs, and carried out approximately 200 artillery shellings, including eight with multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS). In the Toretsk direction, the enemy made several attempts — twelve in total — to break through Ukrainian defenses, three of which are still ongoing. These attacks were supported by aerial bombardments in areas near Toretsk, Rusynyi Yar, Novospaska, and Yablunivka. In the Lyman direction, Russian forces carried out 11 attacks in the regions of Kopani, Novohoriivka, Lypove, and along the lines of Shandryholove, Torske, and Hryhorivka. Five clashes are currently in active progress. On the Kramatorsk front, the enemy attacked Ukrainian positions near Chasiv Yar, Bilyi Gora, and Kurdyumivka. In Kharkiv oblast, the enemy launched six new offensive actions in the areas of Vovchansk, Starytsia, Kamyanka, and in the directions of Dovgenke. To the south, the situation remains tense: on the Kupiansk front, the enemy attempted four times to advance toward Petropavlivka, Holubyvka, Zahryzove, and Nova Kruhliakivka, but Ukrainian forces successfully halted all attacks and repelled the enemy’s advances. On the Siverskyi front, near Hryhorivka, defenders repelled three attacks by occupying forces. In the Orehiv direction, Ukrainian defenders repelled one enemy assault near Novoandriivka, and on the Huliayipol direction, the enemy used aircraft — launching unguided missiles at Zaliznychne, but did not carry out active offensive operations there. Meanwhile, in the Dnieper region, Russian forces carried out an airstrike on the settlement of Odradokamanka. Ukrainian defenders maintain high combat capability and prevent enemy advances in all directions, demonstrating resilience and defensive capacity even under difficult conditions. Overall, the situation remains tense, but Ukrainian troops are holding their defenses and continue to repel enemy attacks, making every effort to maintain control of the situation and prevent further advances of occupation forces on Ukrainian territory.
