The Kostiantynivka direction saw 14 enemy attacks targeting Kostiantynivka, Novoselivka, Mykolaipillia, and Osykove. Meanwhile, on the Huliaipole front, Ukrainian units successfully fended off 13 attacks across locations including Hirka, Rybnoye, Vozdvyzhivka, Dolynka, Rivne, Kopani, Yehorivka, Novoselivka, and Charivne.

Ukrainian air, missile, and artillery forces struck one enemy troop concentration area and a drone control point, destroying:

• 4 armored combat vehicles
• 51 artillery systems
• 8 multiple rocket launcher systems
• 2 air defense units
• 12 ground robotic complexes
• 1,890 unmanned aerial vehicles
• 2 heavy flamethrower systems
• 577 vehicles
• 5 specialized vehicles

In response, the enemy launched 85 airstrikes, dropping 278 guided bombs. They also deployed 9,728 kamikaze drones and conducted 2,521 shelling attacks on civilian settlements and Ukrainian positions. Populated areas including Ulanove, Pysarivka, Khrapivshchyna, Seredyna-Buda, Korchakivka, Hirka, and Volfyne endured artillery bombardment, while Khrapivshchyna was hit by an airstrike.

The frontline remains highly volatile. The enemy executed three attacks in the North Slobozhansky and Kursk sectors near Bachivsk, Rivne, and Volfyne. On the South Slobozhansky front, Ukrainian forces repelled 11 attacks in Volokhivka, Starytsia, Izbytske, Zakharivka, Mala Vovcha, and Varvarivka. One assault was recorded near Kivsharivka in the Kupiansk sector, while the Lyman area saw eight attacks around Novomykhailivka, Nadiia, Stavky, Novoselivka, and Lyman. Two attacks were thwarted near Minkivka in the Kramatorsk sector.

Notably, no active enemy operations took place in the Sloviansk, Oleksandrivka, and Prydniprovia sectors, and no signs of offensive group formation were detected in the Volyn and Polissia directions. This may indicate temporary pauses or regrouping efforts by Russian forces.

“Yesterday, the enemy carried out 85 airstrikes, releasing 278 guided bombs. Additionally, they deployed 9,728 kamikaze drones and launched 2,521 shelling attacks on civilian areas and Ukrainian military positions,” reported the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Despite the heavy toll on Russian forces, fighting intensity remains high. Ukrainian troops continue to mount a strong defense, inflicting substantial losses and equipment destruction on the adversary. The absence of enemy activity in some sectors suggests either a strategic pause or force redeployment. The situation on the front will remain closely monitored as conditions can shift rapidly.
