It has been the 1169 th day of the Ukrainian resistance to the russian military aggression.
What happened in Ukraine today:
Here is operational information of the General Staff as of 6 pm:
In total, 93 combat clashes have occurred since the beginning of the day.
Border settlements continue to suffer from cynical shelling from the territory of the Russian Federation, particularly: Mariine, Myropilske, Novovasylivka, Rivne, Chernatske, Starykove, Dmytrivka, Bachivsk, Mefodivka, Bila Bereza in Sumy region; Luka and Klyusy in Chernihiv region; and Tymofiivka in Kharkiv region. Additionally, the enemy launched airstrikes on the areas of the settlement of Boyaro-Lezhachi in Sumy region.
In the Kharkiv direction, the aggressor launched six assaults on the positions of our defenders near Vovchansk, Vovchanski Khutory, and Kamyanka. Four clashes are still ongoing.
In the Kupiansk direction, the enemy launched three assaults near Hlushkivka and Nova Kruhliakivka.
In the Lyman direction, the invaders attacked nine times near Kopanky, Hrekivka, and Kolodiazi, and toward Ridkodub, Novyi Myr, and Olhivka. Three clashes are still ongoing.

In the Pokrovsk direction, the occupiers made 24 attempts since the beginning of the day to push our defenders from their positions in the areas of Malynivka, Lysivka, Kotlyne, Zvirove, Udachne, Novosergiivka, Novooleksandrivka, Nadiivka, Bohdanivka, Andriivka, and toward Bahatyr, Oleksiivka, Nova Poltavka, and Kotliarivka. The Defense Forces are holding back the enemy’s pressure and have repelled 19 attacks. Five clashes are still ongoing.

Our troops stopped four enemy assaults in the Orikhiv direction, near Stepove and Kamianske. The enemy carried out airstrikes using guided bombs in the area of Kamianske.
In the Prydniprovske direction, the enemy made one unsuccessful attempt to advance.
In the Kursk direction, Ukrainian defenders repelled eight Russian attacks, with one clash still ongoing. Since the beginning of the day, the enemy has launched two airstrikes and dropped a total of six guided bombs on our troops’ positions and settlements, along with 176 artillery attacks, including one from a multiple launch rocket system.
On other fronts, the situation has not undergone significant changes.
The domestic defense industry has launched the production of modern TM-2025 anti-tank mines, developed based on the proven Soviet TM-62M model. The new mine features an improved casing and updated internal components. The new MPEM-1 electromechanical fuse is positioned outside the striking mechanism in an unarmed state, allowing safe transportation.
Approximately 8,000 prisoners of war are confirmed.
There are also military personnel in captivity that Ukraine is not officially aware of. During each prisoner exchange, people are returned whom Russia had not previously confirmed. This creates a 10–20% uncertainty margin, where Russia transfers POWs to the Ukrainian side without confirming their captivity. This was reported by the Deputy Head of the President’s Office, Iryna Vereshchuk.
