Here is operational information of the General Staff as of 6 pm:   

Russian invaders continue to storm the positions of Ukrainian defenders. Since the beginning of the day, 76 combat clashes have been recorded. Border settlements, in particular Yasna Poliana, Tymonovychi in Chernihiv oblast, are suffering from artillery shelling from the territory of the russian Federation.

Ukrainian defenders are currently repelling enemy attacks towards North Slobozhanske and Kursk. The enemy also carried out four air strikes, dropped seven guided aerial bombs, and carried out 93 shellings, including two with multiple launch rocket systems. Ukrainian units are taking active measures to disrupt the occupier’s plans and are achieving success in some locations.

Towards South Slobozhanske, the enemy attacked the positions of Ukrainian defenders seven times near Hlyboke, Vovchansk, Ambarne, and in the direction of Kutkivka and Kolodiazne. Four combat clashes are ongoing.

Towards Kupiansk, four attacks are ongoing on the positions of Ukrainian troops in the areas of Synkivka, Holubivka, Kolisnykivka, and Zahryzove.

Towards Lyman, the invading army attacked 13 times near the settlements of Novomykhailivka, Hrekivka, Kolodiazi, Novoselivka, Zelena Dolyna, and in the direction of Yampil and Serebrianka. The defence forces successfully stopped six attempts by the enemy to advance, and fighting continues.

Defence forces are holding back the enemy’s advance and have repelled 30 attacks, with combat clashes continuing.

No significant changes in the situation have been recorded in other directions of the front.

Ukraine has publicly demonstrated the long-range modification of the Neptune cruise missile for the first time. On Independence Day, a video appeared on the official Instagram account of the state portal Zbroia, showing a missile with characteristic X-shaped wings, presumably the modified Long Neptune. The launch footage was taken from archival tests conducted between 2018 and 2020, and this is the first official reveal of the new version’s appearance. It is known that the Long Neptune has a flight range of up to 1,000km, is designed to hit ground targets, is over 6m long (1.5m longer than the standard R-360), and has a fuselage centre section that has been widened from 38cm to 50cm. It has been in use against the enemy since spring 2025.

Updated E-points system: the military ordered equipment worth over UAH 1bn through the marketplace. In August, a new model of the Army of Drones programme came into effect. Bonus is also known as E-points. During this time, the military has already ordered 22,000 FPV drones, bombers, reconnaissance UAVs and electronic warfare equipment worth over UAH 1b through Brave1 Market. Equipment worth UAH 266m has already been delivered to the front. The timing of the processes is a significant success — from order to delivery takes an average of 10 days. The new model of the Army of Drones.Bonus programme has been implemented thanks to the integration of Brave1 Market, the DELTA system and DOT-Chain Defence. From now on, units can exchange points earned for verified destruction or damage to enemy targets for drones, electronic warfare equipment, and other equipment from Ukrainian manufacturers in the marketplace. It works like this: units receive points for verified damage and destruction of enemy targets. Through DELTA authorisation, they order drones and other equipment from Ukrainian manufacturers on Brave1 Market. Supplies are delivered directly to units by manufacturers through DOT-Chain Defence, thanks to which the average time from order to delivery to the front is 10 days, with a record of 5 days.

Not a single week goes by without accidents on the main water pipelines. Most of them occur in the territories occupied in 2014, because no one has paid attention to the communal sector there for 11 years. This year, we have the result: hundreds of thousands of residents of the occupied Luhansk region regularly lack drinking water. Currently, this affects most residents of Alchevsk, Brianka, Kadiivka and nearby settlements. They have already become accustomed to living in such conditions.
