β–ͺ️ The Russian Armed Forces' offensive continues in certain parts of the front. In the past 24 hours, active fighting was taking place in the vicinity of Pitomnik.

β–ͺ️ To support the advancing troops, units of anti-aircraft missile forces and artillery of the Russian Armed Forces carried out strikes on the AFU concentration areas in Kharkov, Cirkuny, and Petrovka.

β–ͺ️ In turn, Ukrainian units to deter the Russian Armed Forces' offensive struck positions east of Uda, near Kozachya Lopan and Borshcheva.

β–ͺ️ Reconnaissance and targeting were carried out by reconnaissance UAVs operating in the area of Russkye Tishkov and Uda. VSU observation posts are deployed in Svitlichne and south of Borshcheva.

β–ͺ️ At least one HIMARS MLRS is deployed in the vicinity of Nortsovka and Gusarovka. Targeting is provided by one UAV from the area between Protopopovka-Nortsovka.

πŸ”» In the Kharkov region, the situation has not fundamentally changed. Units of the AFU hold the line of defense, making efforts to prevent a breakthrough in the area of Pitomnik.

To this end, additional units of mobilized reservists have been redeployed to nearby settlements. Tactical aircraft from an unidentified airbase provide air support.

Nevertheless, these measures do not help to keep the front line at the line of command. Russian troops are increasingly pushing the defense deep into the Kharkiv region.
