Russian Occupation Forces’ Offensive Actions: Frontline Situation and Major Combat Directions
The frontline situation remains extremely tense and dynamic, with continuous shifts in efforts by both sides.
According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff, the most challenging situation persists in the Pokrovsk and Novopavlivka directions.
Over the past day, there have been more than 165 combat engagements, indicating increased activity from Russian troops and ongoing attempts at breakthroughs in various sectors.
The enemy’s main efforts are focused on striking Ukrainian positions using aviation, missile, and artillery fire.
The General Staff reports that the enemy launched approximately 89 aviation strikes, dropping over 180 guided bombs, and conducted more than 1,200 shellings, involving over 4,000 kamikaze drones.
These actions aim to weaken Ukrainian forces and create conditions for further offensive operations.
Military clashes on different sectors have become especially intense.
Notably, on the North-Slobozhansk and Kursk directions, 17 combat encounters took place, with the enemy employing aviation, bombing, and artillery shelling.
In the southeastern and eastern sectors, Russian forces are attempting to break through Ukrainian defenses through numerous attacks and counterattacks around settlements such as Vovchansk Khutors, Kamenka, and Krasne Pershe.
The situation remains particularly tense in the Pokrovsk and Novopavlivka areas, where Ukrainian troops successfully stopped over 70 assault and offensive actions by the invaders in recent battles.
Meanwhile, on other fronts, the situation has remained relatively stable, with Ukrainian defenders repelling over 50 attacks across different points of the front.
The General Staff reports that Ukrainian military forces have successfully struck 10 enemy concentration areas, destroyed artillery systems, UAV command points, and anti-aircraft systems.
Despite the challenging circumstances, Ukrainian forces continue to hold their positions and prepare for new counteroffensive stages and defensive operations in response to enemy aggression.
