A total of 70 combat engagements occurred over the past 24 hours. The Russians launched 7 missile strikes and 24 airstrikes, and attacked positions of the Ukrainian forces and populated areas 30 times, using multiple-launch rocket systems.

Russian terrorist attacks have unfortunately resulted in killed and wounded civilians. Private residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure facilities were destroyed and damaged.

More than 110 settlements in Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts came under Russian artillery fire.

On the Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna fronts, Russian forces are maintaining their military presence in the border areas, undertaking sabotage activities to prevent Ukrainian troops from being deployed to vulnerable areas, and increasing the density of minefields along the state border in Russia's Belgorod Oblast. 

In the area of responsibility of the Khortytsia Operational Strategic Group on the Kupiansk front, the Russians conducted unsuccessful assault operations near the settlements of Synkivka and Ivanivka (Kharkiv Oblast), where Ukrainian defenders repelled five attacks.

On the Lyman front, the Russians did not engage in any assault operations and continued to regroup their forces.

On the Bakhmut front, Ukrainian defenders repelled several Russian attacks near Khromove (Donetsk Oblast). In addition, the Russians unsuccessfully sought to regain their lost ground near Klishchiivka and Andriivka (Donetsk Oblast). Ukrainian defenders repelled over 10 attacks there. The Ukrainian Defence Forces are pursuing their assault operations south of Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast, inflicting losses in military personnel and equipment on the Russian occupying forces and consolidating their own positions.

In the area of responsibility of the Tavriia Operational Strategic Group on the Avdiivka front, the Russians never ceased their attempts to surround Avdiivka. However, the Ukrainian soldiers are holding their ground, inflicting significant losses on the Russians. The Russians’ offensive actions in the areas of Keramik, Novokalynove, Stepove, Avdiivka, Tonenke and Opytne (Donetsk Oblast) were unsuccessful, as the Defence Forces repelled over 15 attacks there.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Defence Forces are pursuing an offensive on the Melitopol front, inflicting losses in military personnel and equipment on the Russian occupying forces and exhausting them along the entire frontline.

In the area of responsibility of the Odesa Operational Strategic Group on the Kherson front, Ukrainian Defence Forces are leading their counter-battery operations, striking the Russian rear.
