In the Kupiansk direction, the enemy made two attempts to improve their positions towards the settlements of Novoosynove and Novoplatonivka, indicating their efforts to consolidate their hold on occupied territories.

In the Lyman direction, one engagement with the enemy occurred near Hrekivka, while in the Sloviansk direction, Ukrainian defenders successfully halted an enemy advance towards Riznykivka. This demonstrates that the Defense Forces continue to fulfill their tasks despite the challenging situation.

In the Kramatorsk direction, the enemy conducted one attack towards Tykhonivka, while in the Kostiantynivka direction, the invaders launched eight attacks near Kostiantynivka, Pleshchiyivka, Illinivka, and Sofiivka.
