The annual struggle continues on the front: 77 clashes were recorded during the day, most of which were in the Pokrovsky direction
According to operational data from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the morning of June 24, at least 77 clashes have occurred on the Ukrainian front, which confirms the tension of the situation and the intensification of enemy actions. In particular, a significant part of the fighting — 26 — falls on the Pokrovsky direction, which remains one of the key conflict zones. According to reports from the General Staff as of 16:00, the situation in various sectors of the front remains difficult, but controlled by Ukrainian defenders. No active offensive actions of the enemy were recorded in the North Slobozhansky and Kursk directions, however, enemy forces used more than 90 artillery shells, seeking to increase pressure on Ukrainian positions. They purposefully bombed the areas near the settlements of Vovchansk and Kamyanske, trying to break through the Ukrainian defenses. In the South-Slobozhansk direction, the enemy tried three times to break through the Ukrainian lines near Vovchansk and Kamyanske, but the Ukrainian soldiers - thanks to coordinated work and clear tactics - managed to repel these attacks and prevent the occupiers from advancing. At the same time, Russian aviation carried out several airstrikes on Vovchanskie Khutory, Artilne and Zybyne, which caused damage to the infrastructure and resources of the local population. In the Kupyansk direction, the enemy tried three times to advance in the area of Stepovaya Novoselivka, Kruglyakivka and near Pishchane, but the Ukrainian defenders quickly stopped these attacks. Similarly, in the Lymansk direction, the enemy attacked at ten different points — near Kolodyazy, Torske, and Zelenaya Dolyna — and at many other positions where active fighting is ongoing. There, three clashes have not yet ended, and Ukrainian soldiers are holding the front. In the Siversk direction, Ukrainian defenders report successfully repelling two enemy attacks near Hryhorivka. The fighting sites — in the areas of Chasovye Yar, Stupochky, and Bila Hora — also remain zones of active confrontation, destroying enemy equipment and personnel. One or more clashes are ongoing here. In the Toretsk direction, the enemy made eight attempts to attack Ukrainian positions in the areas of Toretsk, Nelipivka, Rusynye Yar, and Yablunivka, but the Ukrainian military managed to defend their positions, and one clash is still ongoing. Of particular note is the situation in the Pokrovsky direction, where the enemy made 26 attempts to deepen its offensive in the areas of Malynivka, Mirne, Myrolyubivka, Lysivka, Udachny, Chuhuyevo, Serhiivka, Novomykolaivka, Kotlyarivka, Oleksiivka, and Dachny. On the Ukrainian front, the defenders managed to restrain the enemy, repelling 24 out of 26 attacks, but two clashes are still ongoing, and enemy losses are being determined. On the Novopavlivka direction — in the area of Vesely, Novoselka, Shevchenko, and Vilny Pole — the situation remains tense. There, Russian troops have launched nine attacks, five of which are still ongoing, and there is a fierce confrontation with the Ukrainian defenders. In general, an important struggle for control and possession of strategic territories is ongoing in this sector of the front. Another direction — Hulyaipil — was hit by unguided missiles in the Malynivka area, but no active offensive actions by the enemy were recorded there. The situation in this sector remains in the status of a “calm”, but the danger of missile strikes remains high. In the Orikhiv direction, Russian troops, with the support of aviation, tried to advance in the Kamyanske area. One combat engagement was recorded there, signaling increased activity of the occupiers in this sector. In the Prydniprovske direction, the enemy attacked Ukrainian positions three times and used an air strike on the village of Odradokamyanka, while the situation in other sectors of the front remains stable, without significant changes. Representatives of the Ukrainian forces in recent hours have been able to effectively repel almost all of the enemy’s planned aggressive actions, which gives reason to speak of the preservation of the defense potential and the unbreakable morale of Ukrainian soldiers. The enemy's losses are being clarified at this stage and the results have not yet been fully summarized. At the same time, the Ukrainian military continues to hold the defense, keeping the enemy in suspense and restraining new attacks, allowing Ukrainian society to maintain hope for a quick victory and the return of stability to the region.
