In the Kupyansk direction, the invading Russian army did not conduct offensive (assault) actions.

In the Lyman direction, Ukrainian troops fought off 15 Russian attacks near the towns of Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region and Hryhorivka and Terny in the Donetsk region.

In the Avdiivka direction, Ukrainian defenders countered 16 Russian attacks in the areas of Berdychi, Orlivka, Tonenke, Pervomaiske and Nevelske in the Donetsk region.

In the Novopavlivka direction, Ukrainian Defense Forces keep holding back the Russian troops in the areas of Krasnohorivka, Heorhiivka, Novomykhailivka and Pobieda in Donetsk region, where the Russian forces, supported by air power, tried to break through the Ukrainian troops' defense 21 times.

In the Orikhiv direction, the Russian forces attacked Ukrainian positions 7 times near Robotyne, Staromayorske and northwest of Verbove in Zaporizhzhia region.

In the Kherson direction, the Russian troops keep trying to drive Ukrainian units from their footholds on the left bank of the Dnipro River. During the day, they made one attempt to storm Ukrainian troops' positions.

At the same time, Ukrainian soldiers are actively inflicting losses in manpower and equipment on the Russian occupation forces, depleting the enemy along the entire front line.

Over the past day, Ukrainian aviation struck 8 Russian concentration areas of personnel, weapons and military equipment and 1 control center.

Ukrainian missile troops struck 2 concentration areas for personnel, weapons and military equipment, the Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system and the 1L219 Zoopark counter-battery radar system.
