As of 4:00 PM on Thursday, April 2, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine released operational information indicating that there have been 127 combat clashes along the front lines. The greatest intensity of these clashes is noted in the Pokrovsk and Huliaipole directions, where Ukrainian defenders are repelling numerous attacks from Russian forces.

Throughout the day, Russian artillery has continued to bombard border areas of Ukraine. Among the settlements that have suffered enemy strikes are Bachivsk, Iskryskivshchyna, Bezsalivka, Tovstodubove, Vyntorivka, Wolfine, Korenyok, Prohres, Brusky, Starykove, Nova Huta, and Havryliova Sloboda in the Sumy region. These shellings indicate a persistent threat from the aggressor, who does not cease attempts to inflict damage on Ukrainian territories.

In the Northeastern Slobozhansky and Kursk directions, Russian troops executed 58 shellings of populated areas and positions of Ukraine's Defense Forces, including three attacks using multiple launch rocket systems. This underscores the intensity of hostile actions in this region.

In the Southern Slobozhansky direction, Russian forces launched four assaults on Ukrainian positions in the areas of Starytsia and Veterinary, where three combat clashes are ongoing. This suggests that the enemy is attempting to expand its controlled territories despite the resistance from Ukrainian defenders.

In the Kupiansk direction, Russian troops made seven attempts to improve their positions towards Petropavlivka, Kurylivka, and Novoosynove, where one combat clash is also taking place. This indicates the aggressor's ongoing efforts in this sector of the front.
