The situation in all directions of the front
In the Siverskyi and Slobozhanskyi directions, the enemy maintains a military presence in the border areas, conducts active diversionary activities in order to prevent the transfer of our troops to threatening directions, increases the density of mine-explosive barriers along the state border in the Belgorod region.
In the area of responsibility of the “Khortytsya” security guard on Kupyansk , the defenders repelled two enemy attacks near Sinkivka, Kharkiv region.
It should be noted that the analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported in a recent review that, presumably, Ukrainian troops successfully counterattacked near Orlyanka, southeast of Kupyansk, and liberated 1.7 square kilometers of territory. However, ISW does not yet have visual confirmation of this report.
