Tense situation in the Kharkiv direction
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) actively counteract the attempts of Russian occupiers to expand their territory in Ukraine and their offensive plans. This was reported by the press service of the Operational-Tactical Group (OTG) "Kharkiv".
In particular, near the settlement of Hlyboke, the enemy is concentrating its troops and focusing on attacks on AFU unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Intense fighting is also taking place near Lukyaniv due to a fire at enemy positions, complicating logistical support and evacuation of losses.
In Vovchansk, the occupiers continue to storm the area with multi-story buildings and strengthen communication. Over the past day, the Defense Forces of Ukraine recorded 4 combat clashes and 5 air strikes. AFU positions were shelled 372 times.
AFU operations in the Kharkiv direction continue. They are conducting active combat operations and continue to inflict significant losses on the Russian occupiers.
Earlier it was reported that the AFU attacked the enemy's pontoon crossing. In addition, over the past day there were 207 combat clashes, resulting in 16 attacks on the positions of Russian occupiers.
