As a new day dawns, Ukrainian military forces and defenders on the front lines are once again compelled to acknowledge the scale of enemy military activity.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the early hours of September 24, over 120 combat clashes have been recorded across various sectors, highlighting the intense fighting expected in all key directions.

The official data reports that the enemy launched several strikes, including missile and aviation attacks, as well as drone assaults.

Specifically, during the past 24 hours, the enemy launched four rockets and conducted 45 airstrikes, deploying six missiles and dropping 87 guided air bombs.

Additionally, Russia intensified its drone attacks — using over 2,400 kamikaze drones to target Ukrainian military positions and civilian infrastructure.

Ukrainian troops have successfully repelled multiple assault attempts across different sectors, particularly in the North Slobozhansky and Kursk directions, where defenders thwarted four out of five enemy attacks.

In the South Slobozhansky sector, the enemy made two attempts to break through defenses near Vovchansk, while in the Kupyansk area, six assault attempts were made around Kotrylivka, Lozova, and nearby settlements.

The situation remains tense on the Lyman sector, with 24 enemy attempts to breach Ukrainian lines in several localities, including Novomikhaylivka, Hreikovka, Kolodiaz, Shandrigolove, Novoselivka, Deryliyeve, and Zarychne.

The enemy tried to penetrate near Serebryanka, Orikhovo-Vasilevka, and toward Dronivka and Yampol—most of these attempts have been repelled or are ongoing.

On Kramatorsk’s front, Ukrainian forces managed to repulse four attacks aimed at Chasiv Yar and Novomarkove.

In Torske sector, Russia carried out ten assaults on Ukrainian positions, focusing on areas such as Oleksandro-Shultyno, Shcherbynivka, and Yablunivka.

The offensive efforts around the Pokrovsk sector involved 47 attempts to break Ukrainian defenses in villages such as Poltavka, Nikatorivka, Rodinske, Chervony Lyman, Novoeconomichne, Huketske, Lysivka, Zvirove, Kotline, Udačne, and Horekhove.

Ukrainian units also stopped 12 enemy attacks at the Novopavlivske sector near Voskresenka, Vorne, Ternove, and Novogryhorivka, although two combat conflicts are still ongoing.

On the Huliaipole sector, defenders repelled four enemy infiltration attempts around Olgaivske, while in the Orikhiv area, one breakthrough was prevented.

Additionally, in the Dniprovsk direction, the hostile forces launched three unsuccessful attacks, suffering significant losses.

The overall frontline situation remains tense, characterized by persistent battles that demonstrate both the tactical proficiency of Ukrainian forces and the relentless persistence of the opposing side in their territorial quest.
