The number of combat engagements on the frontline increased to 54. The situation in the Pokrovsk sector remains tense - 11 attacks have been repelled, fighting is still ongoing in four locations, UNN reports, citing the General Staff's summary as of 16:00.
"As of today, the number of combat engagements has increased to 54. The situation is the hottest in the Pokrovsk sector.
Russian troops are actively using aviation in the Kursk region. At present, there are 17 known air strikes, involving 27 guided aerial bombs, on settlements of the Russian Federation.
Russia is also using artillery to shell Ukrainian border settlements, including Porozok and Poznya in Sumy region," the report says.
In the Kharkiv sector, four firefights took place near Lypky and Vovchansk since the beginning of the day, two of them are ongoing.
In the Kupyansk sector, Russian troops stormed our positions nine times near Petropavlivka, Synkivka, Stelmakhivka, Berestove and in the area of Andriivka. The situation is tense near Stelmakhivka, where four hostile attacks are currently underway.

The enemy continues to try to break through the defense of our troops in the Seversky sector, but receives a worthy rebuff from Ukrainian defenders. For example, near Spirne, the occupiers tried to push our units back once, without success.
In the Kramatorsk sector since the beginning of the day, Russian troops have tried to drive our troops from their positions five times. Ukrainian troops repelled all assaults near Hryhorika, Chasovyi Yar and Predtechyno.
