Since the start of the day, there have been 73 combat engagements on the front lines, according to the General Staff

The highest level of activity by Russian occupation forces was recorded in the Pokrovsk and Huliaipole sectors, where the invaders carried out 24 and 18 assault operations, respectively. Currently, Ukrainian defenders continue to hold back the enemy’s advance, repelling most attacks and holding their defensive lines. 

In addition, the situation remains tense in the Lyman sector, where nine attacks were recorded, as well as in the Kostiantynivka and Sloviansk sectors, where the occupiers made several attempts to breach the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ lines. 

At the same time, in the Northern Slobozhanshchyna, Kursk, Kupiansk, Kramatorsk, and Oleksandrivka sectors, Ukrainian troops successfully halted the Russian Federation’s advance. No enemy offensive actions have been recorded in the Orikhiv and Dnipro sectors since the start of the day; however, border towns in the Sumy region came under artillery and air strikes.

This was reported by the press center of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
