Information has emerged that the Ukrainians attacked the aggressor's 899th Assault Aviation Regiment, which is armed with KAB-throwing Su-34s and is stationed in Buturlinivka (Voronezh Region).

Ukrainian drones bypassed Russian air defenses unhindered and then struck targets. At least 15 explosions were recorded.

The aggressor launched another complex strike against Ukraine. This time, the strike was concentrated on Kremenchuk, located at an important Ukrainian logistical hub across the Dnipro River.

Poltava, Kyiv and other areas were also attacked. Of the 183 Shahed drones, other types of attack drones and decoy drones, Ukrainians managed to shoot down 119, and 48 drones were diverted from targets due to EW actions.

The Russians attacked again with"net analogov" Kinzhal missiles, but again both of these missiles were shot down.

Ukrainian defenders shot down 3 out of 4 Iskander K missiles. The same result was observed for the Kalibrs launched from the Black Sea. Unfortunately, only one Iskander M ballistic missile passed through Ukrainian air defenses.

1,200 bodies of Ukrainian defenders returned to their homeland.

Situation at the front. Kursk direction

Sumy sector. Information has emerged that the Ukrainian 225th Assault Regiment has pushed the aggressor out of Oleksiyevka. This is likely part of a general Ukrainian plan to press the aggressor's western flank.

Nevertheless, the Russians continue their offensive, both in an attempt to regain lost positions and to gain a foothold in the Jablunivka-Yunakivka section.

Luhansk direction

Kupjanskas. The offensive of the occupiers has slowed down somewhat, but they continue to prepare attacks in the northern and central sectors.

Lyman. The aggressor's attack here is intense, but Ukrainian forces have been preventing the Russians from advancing for two weeks.

Syversk. Fighting continues in the Hryhorivka - Verkhnokamensk section, Ukrainian defenders managed to hold their positions.

Donetsk direction

Kostyanivka. The Russian offensive on the Popiv Yar - Poltavka - Yablunivka section remains stalled. Heavy fighting continues.

Pokrovsk - Komar, eastern flank. The Russians are trying to occupy small"pockets" in "no man's" land, where there are probably no Ukrainian units, and thus align the contact line in a direction beneficial to themselves. The occupiers failed to advance towards Myrnohrad.

Southeastern flank. The aggressor has probably consolidated his forces in the Bahatyr-Oleksiivka sector. This will allow him to attack more intensively along the heights and along the Vovcha River towards the Zaporizhia-Filia sector. The Russians are attacking Komar more actively.
