Fighting at the front continues fiercely: over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian defenders participated in more than 100 combat engagements across various sectors, once again highlighting a high level of military activity and tension in the combat zone
According to the official report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 10 p.m., the complex and tense situation remains in several key sectors of the front. The hottest sector is the Pokrovske direction, where the enemy carried out 36 attacks. Such actions were recorded near the settlements of Malynivka, Myrolyubivka, Myrne, Promin, Novoserhivka, Udachne, Koteliarivka, Muravka, and Oleksiivka. Three combat clashes are currently ongoing, with Ukrainian forces defending heroically. Preliminary estimates indicate that on this front, Ukrainian troops have eliminated at least 166 occupiers and wounded another 121 Russian service members. Significant losses in equipment were also recorded: one armored fighting vehicle, five vehicles, ten motorcycles, two artillery pieces, as well as a high number of drones — including the reusable "Molniya," drone control antenna complexes, and radio-electronic warfare (REW) stations. Substantial damage was inflicted on an armored vehicle, three motorcycles, a BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system, and four enemy artillery systems. In the North Slobozhansky and Kursk directions, Ukrainian soldiers successfully repelled 15 enemy attacks since the beginning of the day. Two more battles are ongoing, with Ukrainian defenders holding their positions under tense conditions. In the South Slobozhansky direction, the enemy attempted to storm Ukrainian defensive lines near Vovchansk, Stroivka, and Figolivka. In total, the adversary tried to break through Ukrainian defenses seven times but was repelled each time. Additionally, Ukrainian forces are holding defensive positions in the areas of Kupiansk, Stepova Novoselivka, Zeleny Hai, and Holubivka, where fighting continues. On these sectors, Ukrainian defenders successfully repelled three powerful enemy attacks, demonstrating resilience and high skill. No less tense is the situation in the Lyman direction, where Ukrainian units managed to stop 12 attacks near the settlements of Novyi Myr, Karpivka, Ridkodub, and Kolyadzi. Two battles remain unresolved, and active defense continues in this sector of the front. On the Sievierodonetsk direction, the enemy carried out three offensive actions in the areas of Hryhorivka and Ivan-Doarayevka, but Ukrainian troops managed to prevent further advance. The region's defenders are holding their lines, denying the enemy significant gains. On the Kramatorsk direction, Ukrainian defenders repelled four attempts by Russian invaders to breach the defenses near Chasiv Yar, as well as in the areas of Predtechyne and Bile Hory. Combat continues as of now, with Ukrainian forces maintaining the front line vigilantly. A particularly notable sector is Toretsk, where the occupiers attempted 13 times to assault Ukrainian positions in the areas of Dilyivka, Toretsk, Leonidiivka, Rusyny Yar, and Yabloiivka. Ukrainian servicemen adhere to the principle "not to retreat and to defend every meter," repelling 12 assault attempts. Three battles are still ongoing in this sector. Significant activity was also recorded in the Novopavlivka direction, where Ukrainian units stopped five enemy attacks near settlements such as Vesele, Shevchenko, and Viline Pole. Active fighting continues in these areas, with two out of two planned battles taking place. Overall, the situation remains tense, but Ukrainian defenders are demonstrating incredible resilience and combat skill, preventing the enemy from consolidating positions. The adversary actively employs all available means—from infantry to modern artillery and drones—but Ukrainians resolutely and purposefully repel attacks, once again proving their ability to defend their land and people. This heroic struggle continues daily, with every day reaffirming the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit and the strength of defensive resilience. The military situation remains challenging, but the efforts of Ukraine’s defenders offer hope for the continued preservation of the country’s territorial integrity and independence.
