Here is operational information of the General Staff as of 6 pm:
The enemy continues to attack along almost the entire frontline, concentrating its efforts in Kharkiv and Pokrovsk directions. By now, the total number of enemy offensive and assault operations has increased to 82. The invaders are shelling settlements in Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts from the territory of the russian federation and 7 different villages in the border areas of these Ukrainian oblasts have come under russian artillery attack today alone.
Kharkiv axis: Ukrainian soldiers repelled 3 enemy attacks, the same number of attacks are still ongoing. To their crimes, the invaders added two more airstrikes from the territory of the russian federation and they launched unguided aerial missiles from the direction of Bogun-Gorodok (rf) near Udy village and dropped unmanned aerial vehicles in Kharkiv oblast from the direction of Shebekino (rf).
Kupiansk axis: the invaders keep trying to put pressure on the defences of Ukrainian defenders. They are unsuccessfully trying to improve their positions near Druzheliubivka and Nevske. In total, the enemy has conducted 13 assault operations there since the beginning of the day. 4 firefights are still ongoing.
Lyman axis: the enemy made 7 attacks. The enemy continues to put pressure near Terny and Torske, where fighting continues.
Siversk axis: the russian aggressor received a decent response near Vyimka and stormed the positions of Ukrainian defenders twice more near Bilohorivka. The situation is under control.
