Ukrainian military disabled and flooded the gas pipeline that Russian units attempted to use to break through to Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region, reported the Operational Command 'North' of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.
According to the military, the situation in the Kupiansk direction remains complicated, as the enemy considers the capture of the city one of its key objectives. Russian forces are concentrating units in the areas of the settlements of Rad'kivka and Holubivka, from where they attempted to use the gas pipeline for advancement. However, Ukrainian defenders managed to respond quickly and inflict damage on the pipeline, preventing the breakthrough of enemy forces.
Moreover, the occupiers are trying to infiltrate the city via the Oskil River on boats, but most of their attempts are thwarted by the actions of Ukrainian artillery, mortars, and strikes from FPV drones. Currently, there are no Russian militants in the center of Kupiansk.
The report that Ukrainian military successfully struck the gas pipeline used by Russian units in an attempt to break through to Kupiansk indicates that the Ukrainian army is acting effectively in this area and inflicting serious losses on the enemy, thus managing to prevent the threat of capturing the city. The population can be confident in the security of the city against enemy attacks.
